Chemical equation
a chemical equation
A chemical equation is used as a shortcut to describe a chemical reaction.
There has to be the same numbers and types of elements on both sides of the equation. This is accomplished by adding coefficients in front of the chemical formulas as needed. Never change a formula when balancing an equation.
Chemicals equations use chemical formulas and other symbols instead of words to summarize a reaction.
Cellular respiration breaks up sugars into a form that the cell can use as energy. The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + Energy (as ATP) or Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (as ATP).
We have cellular respiration because it produces energy from sugar, oxygen, and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product.
A chemical equation is a shorthand description of a chemical reaction.
A chemical equation shows a reaction between to chemicals using chemical formulas.
