An acid (such as h2so4) and a base (such as naoh) are mixed together during a titration. the equivalence point is reached when
the number of moles of h+ ions equals the number of moles of oh– ions
the ph reaches its maximum value
the ph reaches its minimum value
the number of moles of acid equals the number of moles of base

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 !
