Answer:
By standard convention, decimals and fractions are avoided or rather do away with when balancing chemical equations.
We do not have decimals when balancing equations, because we are balancing atoms and molecules. You can't cut an atom or a molecule in half after all, so you must use whole numbers.
By doing away with decimals and fractions, mole relationships between reactants and products are simply presented.
It is much more understandable and presentable to say; "2 moles of Hydrogen gas reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas to form2moles of water molecule"
Rather than; "1 moles of Hydrogen gas reacts with 1/2 mole of oxygen gas to form 1 moles of water molecule"
In the simulation, we were not able to use noninteger numbers (like ½ or 0.43) for the coefficients in a balanced equation.
What is simulation?
Simulation is a mathematical expression which tells about change in the mass and energy during any chemical or physical process.
We have noticed that in every balanced chemical equation, the coefficients are always a whole number not a non - integer or decimal number. It is because no any molecule or atom will present in half or fractional structure.
Hence we never use non integers in simulation.
