Boyd takes additional measurements of the mass of product formed in a reaction. He uses a balance that has smaller graduations than the first balance he used.
What is Boyd most likely trying to change?

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !

the increase of protons   hope this

have a great day because if you dont you and i will be sad
