Question

How to write the product of compound reactions in the of reactions. From basic I need

Answer 1

• The reactants are written in the LHS

• The Products are written in the RHS

• Physical states of the chemicals involved in the reaction are written in brackets.

E.g. (s) for Solids, (l) for liquids, (g) for gases,

(aq) for aqueous solution, & (ppt.) for precipitate.

• The reactants and the products are separated using an arrow "→". It determines the Direction of the occurrence of a reaction.

• The Masses and the charges are balanced using the coefficients as Integers.

• The condition of the reaction is mentioned above/below the arrow.

For Example,

• Magnesium reacts with Oxygen to give Magnesium Oxide

⇒2Mg (s) + O₂ (g) ⟶ 2MgO (s)

• Silver Chloride decomposes into Silver and Chlorine gas in presence of sunlight.

⇒2AgCl (s) ⟶ˢᵘⁿˡⁱᵍʰᵗ⟶ 2Ag (s) + Cl₂ (g)↑

• Sodium hydroxide reacts with Hydrochloric acid to give Sodium Chloride and water.

⇒NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ⟶ NaCl(aq)+H₂O(l)
