Writing of word equations, chemical equations, state the type of reaction. (Student should write 20 reactions)

Answer:
Chemical Equations
If you were to describe a chemical reaction in a sentence, it would be quite long. To express it in a shorter form, we can write it as a word-equation. For example, the reaction between magnesium and oxygen to give magnesium oxide can be represented as follows –
Magnesium + Oxygen → Magnesium oxide
(Reactants) → (Product)
Substances that undergo a chemical change in a reaction are ‘Reactants’, i.e. magnesium and oxygen in the above example. The new substance formed as a result of the chemical change is the ‘Product’ i.e. magnesium oxide. In a word equation –
The reactants and products are separated by an arrow between them.
Reactants are written on the left-hand side of the arrow (LHS) with a (+) sign between them.
Products are written on the right-hand side of the arrow (RHS) with a (+) sign between them.
The arrowhead points towards the products and indicates the direction of the reaction.
Writing of word equations, chemical equations, state the type of reaction. are all the tools which show we depict a chemical reaction and how a reaction takes place.
Explanation:
Writing of word equations :- Word equation represents a chemical reaction using the names of the substances involved
Word equation does not show any formulas or sumbols.
Word equations are in the form REACTANT→ PRODUCT
A + sign separates two or more reactants or two or more products.
Reactants are those substances that react together in a chemical reaction
Products are the substance which is formed as a result of the reaction.
Chemical Equations:-
It is the symbolic representation of chemical reactions in which reactants and products.
It is expressed in terms of chemical formulas
Type of reaction :-Chemical reactions is of different types Combination reactions, Decomposition reaction, Combustion, neutralisation and displacement reactions.
Substances react are known as reactants and that are formed during a chemical reaction are known as products.
