Expert Solution
Step 1

Balance chemical reaction is the representation of reactant and product in such a way that the number of moles of product and reactant is equal. The coefficient and number of atoms maintain the stoichiometry of a chemical reaction. If reaction is balanced then the number of atoms on the reactant side is exactly the same number of atoms present on the product side.
