Balanced Equations 8.5F Label the following parts of the chemical equation below: coefficient, subscript, products, reactants, yields, chemical formula. A. reactants B. yields C. products D. subscripts E. chemical formula F. coefficient The Law of Conservation of Mass states that during a chemical reaction, mass/matter is not created or. destroyed Because of this law, there must be exactly the same number and kind of atoms on each side of a chemical equation. To check if an equation is balanced or not, simply count the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side of the equation and check to see if there are the same number of atoms of each element on the products side of the equation. If so, it is balanced. Which of the following chemical equations is balanced? A.
