What are qualitative and quantitative significance of chemical equation.

Explanation:

Well, the qualitative significance of a chemical equation is that it shows us concisely, and economically how matter interacts chemically in the breaking, and making of chemical bonds to form new substances…

Quantitatively, ALL stoichiometrically balanced equations show us that MASS is CONSERVED, and that “TANSTAAFL” , i.e. “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch” , operates. And so 5∙g , 5∙kg , 5∙tonne of total REACTANT from all sources, leads to AT MOST to 5∙g , 5∙kg , 5∙tonne of total PRODUCT…. and in practice, we are not even going to get that… Electronic charge is also conserved in every chemical reaction … and we use this conservation principle when we write redox equation…

Well, the qualitative significance of a chemical equation is that it shows us concisely, and economically how matter interacts chemically in the breaking, and making of chemical bonds to form new substances…

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
