Write a short notes on Chemical Equations in 500-600 words.?
Answers
☛A symbol represent an atom of an element and a formula represents a molecules of a substance .The expression of the process of chemical reaction using molecular formula is known as chemical equation.
- For example :- when potassium chlorate is heated ,potassium chloride and oxygen gas are produced.This reaction is expressed in words in the following way:
Potassium chlorate ➠Potassium chloride + Oxygen ↑
➠ ↑
✦Important facts regarding chemical Equations
☛ Chemical equation should be the indicator of real chemical reaction.
☛ Equation should be balanced, i.e. the number of atoms of each element should be the same on both sides of the arrow sign ( ➠ ).
☛Reactants and products involved in reactions should be know.
☛It should be expressed by symbols and molecular formula.for Example sodium and calcium should be expressed by Na and Ca and nitrogen and oxygen should be expressed by N2 and O2 neither by N or O
