Answer: Chemical equation given is not balanced.
Explanation:
When a chemical reaction equation has equal number of atoms on both reactant and product side then the equation is known as balanced chemical equation.
For example, the given equation is [tex]AgNO_{3} + NaCl \rightarrow 4AgCl + NaNO_{3}[/tex]
Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.
Ag = 1
[tex]NO_{3}[/tex] = 1
Na = 1
Cl = 1
Number of atoms on product side are as follows.
Ag = 4
[tex]NO_{3}[/tex] = 4
Na = 1
Cl = 1
Therefore, the atoms are not equal on both reactant and product side.
Thus, we can conclude that the given reaction equation is not balanced.
