Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equation for the given reaction has to be written

Concept Introduction:

Balanced Chemical equation:

A balanced chemical equation is an equation which contains same elements in same number on both the sides (reactant and product side) of the chemical equation thereby obeying the law of conservation of mass.
