Why is formula equation is more informative than word equation
Answers
Explanation:
Symbol equations
generally provide more information than
word equations
, and can be used to calculate things such as
energy gain/loss
or
theoretical yield
Word equations only tell us what the reactants and the products are, whereas symbol equations tell us
which
and
how much
of each element is present in the chemicals (their names may not always reflect this) and
may
give some indication as to their
structure
, which determines their chemistry. Also, symbol equations are
balanced
, which gives a clear indication as to
how much
of one set of things makes the other.
Answer:
The formula equation contains all the necessary information of a compound. It has the fixed number of atoms and its amount in which they are reacting. It provides a shorter way to remember the chemicals and their usable forms.
Whereas the word equation only possesses the nature of reactants and products. It will not give any idea about its actual moles and weight. Therefore, formula equations are more meaningful than word equations.
