Reactants are the starting materials.
Products are the finished materials.
As an artifical reaction scheme.
A + B = C + D
'A' & 'B' are the reactants
'C' & 'D' anre the products.
An actual example.
Hydrochloric Acid + Sodium hydroxide = sodium chloride + water.
2HCl + 2NaOH = 2NaCl + 2H2O
The hydrochloric and the sodium hydroxide are the reactants, and the sodium chloride and water are the products.

How do you explain reactant and product?
Reactant(s) are the starting material/chemical to a reactiion Product(s) are the final material/chemical at the end of a reaction.
What chemical equation has equal numbers of reactant and product atoms?
Any chemical reaction.
Is the substance to the right of the arrow in a chemical equation called a reactant?
No, on the right of the arrow in a chemical reaction is called a product. The reactant is on the left.
Why a catalyst is not considered a reactant or product in a chemical reaction?
If a substance is a reactant or product of a chemical reaction then, by definition, it cannot be a catalyst.
How do you use the words chemical reactant and product in a sentence?
Chemical: Vinegar contains the chemical, Acetic acid. Reactant: The limiting reactant weight was used to calculate the percentage yield of the product. Product: The product was nearly pure from just washing alone, following the reaction.
Why is a catalyst not a product or a reactant of a chemical reaction?
If a substance is a reactant or product of a chemical reaction then, by definition, it cannot be a catalyst.
Why is a catalyst not a product or reactant of a chemical reaction?
If a substance is a reactant or product of a chemical reaction then, by definition, it cannot be a catalyst.
What is the difference between a reaction and products of a chemical reaction?
reactant + reactant = product
After a chemical reaction starts when will a chemical reaction end?
When the limiting reactant is completely used up. A limiting reactant is the reactant that determines the amount of product. To determine this use the balanced chemical reaction with the masses of the reactants to determine the moles of product formed. The reactant that forms the least amount of product will be the limiting reactant.
What is the definetions of limiting reactant in chemistery?
In a chemical reaction the limiting reactant is the reactant that there is the least of in the reaction; it determines the amount of product formed. In a chemical reaction it is the reactant that gets completely "used up"
How do you explain reactant and product?
Reactant(s) are the starting material/chemical to a reactiion Product(s) are the final material/chemical at the end of a reaction.
Is sodium bicarbonate a product or a reactant?
It depends. If sodium bicarbonate is added to something in a chemical reaction, then it is a reactant in this case. If a chemical reaction forms sodium bicarbonate, then it is a product.
What is an element or compound that enters into a chemical reaction?
A reactant or reactants enters into a chemical reaction to form product(s)
In chemistry what is a product?
The product is what is produced at the end of a chemical reaction. Example | H2 (Reactant) + O (Reactant) -----> H2O (Product)
What is the generic format of a chemical reaction?
Generic format is Reactant ( plus reactant(s)) = Product + (Product(s))
How limiting reactant control a reaction?
Using an excess of another reactant limits a reactant.
What is a true of a catalyst?
The catalyst is not a reactant in a chemical reaction but contribute to the success of this reaction.
