Question

Explain the term reactant and product giving example.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Substances which react chemically in a reaction to give new substances are called reactants.The new substances formed are called the products.The products do not retain the properties of the reactants as they have lost the m during the chemical reaction.

Eg.When two hydrogen atoms react with two chlorine atoms(reactants),they give a completely new compound (product), hydrochloric acid(two molecules).

h2+cl2>2hcl

When two sodium atoms react with two chlorine atoms(reactants),they give a completely new compound (product),sodium chloride (two atoms).

2na+cl2>2nacl

The substance(s) to the left of the arrow in a chemical equation are called reactants. A reactant is a substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction. The substance(s) to the right of the arrow are called products . A product is a substance that is present at the end of a chemical reaction.

Eg. When two hydrogen atoms react with two chlorine atoms(reactants),they give a completely new compound (product), hydrochloric acid(two molecules). h2+cl2>2hcl. When two sodium atoms react with two chlorine atoms(reactants),they give a completely new compound (product),sodium chloride (two atoms). 2na+cl2>2nacl.
