(a)
Interpretation:
A balanced equation for the following reaction is to be written.
Concept introduction:
In a balanced chemical equation, the total mass of reactants and products are equal in a balanced chemical equation, thus, it obeyed the law of conservation of mass.
Following are the steps to write a balanced chemical equation.
Step 1: Identify the most complex substance and choose an element such that the element must be present only in one reactant and one product. Place the stoichiometric coefficient before the element(s) such that the number of atoms of that element(s) is the same on both sides.
Step 2: Balance the remaining atoms by placing the
Step 3: In a balanced
Step 4: Check whether the chemical equation is balanced or not by counting the number of atoms of each element on both sides.

Step 3: In a balanced chemical reaction, the smallest whole number coefficients are most preferred. Hence, adjusting the coefficients in such a way that the smallest whole number coefficients are obtained for each element.
Step 4: Check whether the chemical equation is balanced or not by counting the number of atoms of each element on both sides.
