Chemical equations need to be balances to have the same number of molecules on either side of the equal sign
For example K + Cl2 = KCl becomes 2K + Cl2 = 2KCl to match the number of chlorine atoms in the first part of the equation(there are two because Chlorine is diatomic and will always be found in pairs when not part of a compound).
