balanced-equation

Balanced Equation - A chemical equation in which the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow, preserving mass and charge (when relevant). For example:

• Ensures stoichiometric integrity: Using avogadro_constant, we can scale microscopic particles to macroscopic amounts.
• Reactant and product coefficients must reflect actual mole ratios, which influences reaction enthalpy calculations.
• collision_theory explains how correct proportions of reactants can affect reaction rates.
• Nuclear equations (e.g. beta_decay) also require balancing nucleons and charge, though the rules differ slightly from typical chemical equations.
