We know the composition of the reactants, the products, we can calculate the yield of the reaction etc.
What information is presented in a chemical equation
What information can you determine from the coefficients in this balanced chemical equation? Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2
Balanced
A "balanced" equation.
The chemical equation is the word expression of a chemical reaction.The rate of reaction give information about the speed of this reaction.
By having the same numbers of atoms of each kind of element present in the equation in the written numbers (coefficient multiplied by subscript) of each kind of element on both sides of the equation.
How fast the reaction occurs.....A+
These data are given by the correct coefficients in the chemical equation.
You get the reactants, products, and the ratio that the chemicals react in. It also gives information on what processes the chemicals are undergoing, such as oxidation/reduction and acid/base.
- what are the reactants - which are the products - the quantity of each chemical involved - the type of reaction
Balanced
The kinds of atoms and the number of each kind are the same on both sides of a balanced chemical equation.
