A chemical equation is used in the means of writing out and describing a chemical reaction, such as the reactants and the substance that forms after the reaction (called the product)
P.S: it took me a little to find out the question since i had it too. Some teachers decide to give out questions like these in attempt to get people to practice their research skills instead of just relying on a "magic book" for the answer.

∙ 15y agoChemical equations provide a simplifies, stereotypical view of chemical phenomena so that a particular event can be quantified. They take into account relationships with other chemical laws and theories, in order to find new cause-effect correlations. They are not universal (applying to all dimensions and states of matter, etc...), but they do provide that sterotypical view of chemistry to make it easier to grasp in our limited and primitive three-dimensional construct of our universe.

How can you tell when a chemical has reacted?
When there is a change in its chemical/physical properties. A chemical reaction involves the changing of the object's chemical make up.
How can one tell how much reactant will be used in a reaction?
from a balanced chemical equation
How can you tell that a chemical reaction occurred from the copper sulfate?
You have to notice what happens during the reaction and what products have been obtained.
How do you tell how fast a chemical reaction will take?
Only after the measurement of the reaction rate. See the link below for details.
What does the coieffecient in a chemical equation tell you?
The number of that type particle involved in the reaction.
What will tell you the efficiency of a chemical reaction?
You need to calculate the yield of the reaction.
What does a positive delta H tell about reaction?
This is an endothermic chemical reaction.
How can you tell the difference between a chemical reaction and not a chemical reaction?
A chemical reaction will do the following; Change colour Create smoke A non chemical reaction (Physical Reaction) will do the following; Change State Be able to change back to the original materials
What can chemical equations tell you about a chemical reactions?
Chemical equations describe the products and reactants in a chemical reaction.
What does the potential energy diagram of a chemical reaction tell you?
Whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic
How can you tell there is a chemical reaction when iron rusts?
Because it is not a physical change it is a chemical change.
Chemical properties tell you how something?
Chemical properties tell you how the element or compound is going to react during a chemical reaction.
How can you tell when a chemical has reacted?
When there is a change in its chemical/physical properties. A chemical reaction involves the changing of the object's chemical make up.
How can you tell fools gold from gold by using a chemical reaction?
With magnets.
How can you tell a chemical reaction is losing heat?
The apparatus becomes hot.
How can one tell how much reactant will be used in a reaction?
from a balanced chemical equation
How can you tell that a chemical reaction occurred from the copper sulfate?
You have to notice what happens during the reaction and what products have been obtained.
