✓ Answer: C To satisfy the law of conservation of mass.
Balancing chemical equations is essential to adhere to the law of conservation of mass, which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. By balancing the equation, we ensure that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides, preserving the total mass and making accurate stoichiometric calculations possible.
