Question

Is this equation balanced?

8Fe + S8 --->8FeS

Answer 1

If it is balanced, does it show that no atoms are lost or gained in chemical reactions?

Answer 2

yes is balanced because you have 8 irons +8 sulfur----- so therefore you multiply (FeS) by 8 cause u had 8 on the left so you need 8 on the right.

Answer 3

So the equation would satisfy my second question, too, right?

Answer 4

What was your second question?

Answer 5

Never mind, I was just confirming if it shows that no atoms are lost or gained, but I see that if the equation is balanced, that is good enough.
