In a balanced chemical reaction, equal number of atoms are present on both sides of reaction. A balanced
chemical reaction is based on law of conservation of mass which means that total mass of reactants and products
participating in a reaction must be equal. For example, a balanced chemical equation of burning of magnesium
in oxygen to form magnesium oxide is written as:
2Mg + O2 ⟶ 2MgO
