Question

11 multiple choice 1 point which of the following is true of a balanced equation? the total number of molecules remains the same. the number of atoms of each element remains the same the number of atoms per molecule remains the same. the kinds of atoms remain the same.

Explanation:

In a balanced chemical equation, the law of conservation of mass is obeyed. This means that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of each element on the product side. The total number of molecules can change, the number of atoms per molecule can change, and while the kinds of atoms are relevant in the sense that they must be accounted for, the key defining feature of a balanced equation is the conservation of the number of atoms of each element.

Answer:

The number of atoms of each element remains the same.
