Q.) Why is it important to balance a skeletal
chemical equation?
(a) To verify law of conservation of energy.
(b) To verify the law of constant proportion.
(c) To verify the law of conservation of mass.
(d) To verify the law of conservation of momentum.
Ans. (c) To verify the law of conservation of mass.
Explanation: We need to balance chemical equations to satisfy the law of conservation of mass in chemical reactions. This is done by making the number of different types of atoms equal on both the sides of an equation.
