The validity of scientific theories and laws depends on evidence. Which of the following statements of evidence supports a law rather than a theory? Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom within a certain radius.
DNA analysis reveals that a modern species is related to an extinct species.
Seafloor spreading occurs at a rate of three centimeters per year in the mid-Atlantic.
The amount of matter in a closed system is the same at the start of a reaction as at the end of the reaction.

d the amount of matter in a closed system is the same at the start of a reaction as at the end of the reaction

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 !
