The law of conservation of mass has already been applied. There is an equal number of each element on both sides of the equation.
Explanation:
We have the following chemical reaction:
Mg + 2 HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂
The number and type of atoms entering the reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms leaving the reaction.
1 atom of Mg is entering the reaction and 1 atom of Mg are leaving the reaction.
2 atoms of H are entering the reaction and 2 atoms of H are leaving the reaction.
2 atoms of Cl are entering the reaction and 2 atoms of H are leaving the reaction.
The reaction is balanced.
