Which of these reactions are correctly balanced?
CH4 + 2O2 -> 2H2O + CO2

The balancing of a chemical equation involves only changing the coefficients (numbers before elements/compounds), not the subscripts.
True
False
It is possible to balance a chemical equation by changing the chemical symbols of the elements involved.
True
False
The principle of conservation of mass states that no atoms are lost or created during a chemical reaction, hence they must be balanced on both sides of a chemical equation.
True
False
