Best Answer

Left side

Example:

2NaCl + energy ------> 2Na + Cl2

sodium chloride + energy ------> sodium + chloride

The energy which you are looking for is on the left side.

For Exothermic Reactions it would be on your right side

Example:

CH4 + 202 ---------> CO2 + 2H20 + energy

methane + oxygen --------> carbon dioxide + water + energy

The energy which you are looking for here, is on the right side.

How is heat included in the equation of the endothermic reaction?

on the left side of the equation


Is this equation exothermic or endothermic C3H8g 5Og ----3CO2g 4H2Og 2220kJ?

This equation is exothermic. The energy is written in positive numerals on the right hand side. This means that energy has been released. Moreover, this is a combustion reaction.


Is ch4 4cl2ccl4 4hcl endothermic?

You did not write any of those chemical names correctly (methane is CH4, not ch4) and all you did was list 4 incorrectly written chemicals, you did not give a chemical equation. Only a chemical reaction can be described as endothermic or exothermic; chemicals by themselves do not have those properties.


What is a shorthand way of writing a chemical reaction?

A chemical reaction is always written with the reactants (the things you mix together to do the reaction) on the left and the products (the stuff you get) on the right. In between is an arrow pointing right to indicate that the reactants react and become the products. Catalysts are sometimes listed above the arrow. And don't forget to balance the equation.


How is heat included in an equation of an exothermic reaction?

Heat is written as a product of the reaction (apecs answer)


What tells the story of a chemical reaction?

The written statement that shows a chemical reaction is called an "equation". The representation of each reactant is called its chemical formula.


Where is a catalyst written in an equation?

Above the valence arrow.

Symbolic equation for the reaction between potassium dichromate and barium chloride?

I think the reaction equation can be written as follows: K2Cr2O7 (aq) + BaCl2(aq) ------ BaCr2O7(s) + 2KCl(aq).


Why is a catalyst written above the arrow in a chemical equation rather than with the reactants?

The enzyme is written above the arrow of the chemical equation because it is involved in the reaction without being changed by it or used up in the reaction. It is not a reactant or a product.


Write the symbol equation for this reaction?

Symbol equations for reactions are written using chemical formulae.


How is an exothermic reaction in an equation?

If the reaction is exothermic, this means heat is released and would thus appear as a PRODUCT, i.e. it would appear on the right side of the equation. This would be written as A + B ==> C + D + heat
