What are the advantages of using a chemical equations for ghe representation of a chemical reaction
Answers
it can be more informative as we can also give the states
it can be written in less time
Answer:
A chemical equation is the shortest (almost always in one line) and most precise way of expressing a reaction. It gives a lot of information like:-
It tells us about the quality and quantity of reactants and products involved. Reactants on the left and products on the right
A single arrow between the reactants and products tells us that the reaction goes to completion while a double arrow shows that it is a reversible reaction
A balanced reaction gives the proportion of reactants and products; so when you don’t want to waste reactants (and this is very important if you are a factory owner not wanting to waste your profits); you can use these proportions to measure out the exact quantity of reactants. You can also know the exact amount of products you would get even before starting the process.
A reaction, written in details, also tells us about the physical state of the reactants and products
Similarly, the heat changes involved in a reaction are also written on the reaction.
