Question

Explain what is reactant and product in chemical eqaution.Explain with an example.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A chemical equation describes a chemical reaction. Reactants are starting materials and are written on the left-hand side of the equation. Products are the end-result of the reaction and are written on the right-hand side of the equation.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. The substances taking part in chemical reaction are called reactant. This are always written on the left hand side of chemical equation.
2. The substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction by formation of new bonds are called products. This are always written on the right hand side of the chemical equation.
3. Example: Formation carbon dioxide gas by combustion of coal in air is a chemical reaction. In this reaction, coal(carbon) and oxygen (from air) are the reactant while carbon dioxide is the product.

C + O2 ------> CO2

(carbon) (oxygen) (carbondioxide)

In the above equation C+O2 is the reactant because it's written on the left hand side of the equation whereas CO2 is the product as it written on the right hand side of the chemical equation.

Hope you understood mate!!!!
