Q (53): State true or false: Powder is always formed whenever a chemical reaction takes
place.
(a) TRUE (b) FALSE
Case study:

According to the "Law of Conservation of Mass", mass can neither be created nor
destroyed in a chemical reaction. That is, the total mass of the elements
present in the products of a chemical reaction has to be equal to the total mass
of the elements present in the reactants. In other words, the number of atoms of each
element remains the same, before and after a chemical reaction. Hence, we
need to balance a skeletal chemical equation.
Q (54):

Q (55): Which of the following steps are involved in writing a balanced chemical
equation?
