A chemical equation is a short-hand way to represent the components of a chemical reaction. There are several pieces of information provided in a chemical equation for those working with the chemical equation or corresponding chemical reaction.
You've worked with equations in mathematics where an equation is used to represent information such as equalities or inequalities. Chemical equations are different from mathematical equations because the two parts of a chemical reaction represent the 'before' and 'after' of a chemical reaction. In mathematical equations, an equals sign separates the two parts of the equation. In chemical equations, equal signs are not used. Instead, an arrow is used to separate the two sides of the equation, and it points in the direction that a chemical reaction will proceed.
