Which of the following statements about chemical reactions is false?
In balancing a chemical equation, all subscripts must be conserved.
When one coefficient is doubled, the rest of the coefficients in the balanced equation must also be doubled.
The subscripts in a balanced equation tell us the number of atoms in a molecule.
An individual coefficient in a balanced equation is meaningless.
The phases in a chemical reaction tell us the nature of the reactants and products.
Definition Definition Transformation of a chemical species into another chemical species. A chemical reaction consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new ones by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
