Differentiate between :
(a) Reactants and products
(b) Chemical reaction and chemical equation
(c) A balanced and a skeletal chemical equation.
Answers
Answer:
Balanced Equation
A balanced chemical equation is one in which the number of atoms each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of that element on the product side. this is balance equation
Skeletal Equation
In a skeletal equation the number of atoms on reactant side are not equal to number of atoms of product side.⤴️ this is difference between balance the equation and skeleton equation
Reactants
The substances that react with one another are called reactants.
Reactants are written on the left hand side of equations
product
The new substances formed are called products. Products are written on the right hand side of equation.
this is reachants and product different
chemical reaction and chemical equation
A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, with the reactants on the left side and the products on the right side, separated by an arrow. The teactants and products are represented by their chemical formulas, based on elements as they are on the periodic table.
Example:
A reaction between magnesium metal and zinc sulphate solution produces magnesium sulphate in solution and zinc metal. This is a single displacement reaction.
The equation representing this reaction is written :
Mg (s) + ZnSO 4(aq) → MgSO 4(aq) + Zn (s)
Hope this is helpful and answers your question.
Answer:
(a) Reactants and products
Reactants
1) The substances that react with one another are called reactants.
2)Reactants are written on the left hand side of equation.
Products
1)The new substances formed are called products.
2)Products are written on the right hand side of equation.
(b) Chemical reaction and chemical equations
Chemical equation is the representation of chemical reactions using symbols. Chemical reaction is the process in which one reactant breaks or two or more reactants reacts to form one or more products but chemical equation represents the reaction which had occured by symbols.
(c) A balanced and an unbalanced chemical equation
Balanced chemical
1) A balanced chemical reaction is the one in which the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of that element on the product side.
Ex- H2 + Cl2 → HCl
Unbalanced chemical
1) Number of elements on reactant side are not equal to the number of elements on product side.
Ex - H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl
