it acts as an equal sign --> is the same thing as = in a chemical reaction.
Or perhaps better is interpreted as 'becomes' and indicates the direction of the reaction.
the coefficients of a balanced reaction
Substances initially present in a chemical reaction that are consumed during the reaction or a substance that participates in a chemical reaction, esp a substance that is present at the start of the reaction while the end product of some chemical reactions yield products.
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.
The reactions in which the products can recombine to form reactants are called reversible reactions. These reactions never go to completion. They are represented by a double arrow between reactants and products.
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed. Because of this the sum of the mass of the reactants will always equal the mass of the products.
the coefficients of a balanced reaction
The arrow between the reactants and products in a chemical equation represents the direction of the chemical reaction. It indicates that the reactants are being transformed into the products.
A reactant is an "ingredient" in a chemical reaction; it is a substance you have at the beginning of a reaction. A product is what gets produced in a chemical reaction; it is a new substance you did not have before. Reactants yield products.
The substances in a chemical reaction that are combined are the reactants, and the substances that are formed as a result of the reaction are the products. Reactants are the starting materials, while products are the final end-products. Chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds between atoms.
In a chemical reaction, the bonds between the atoms of the reactants break, and new bonds are formed during the formation of the products.
In a chemical reaction, the bonds between the atoms of the reactants break, and new bonds are formed to make the products. The atoms do not change, they are just rearranged.
The amount of heat given off by the reaction
The reactants change. The chemical bonds between the atoms in the reactants break, and then new bonds are formed, which results in the formation of new products.
The bonds between the atoms in the reactants are broken, and new bonds are formed which results in new products, different from the reactants.
The change in entropy between products and reactants in a reaction
This representation is a chemical equation.
These structures are bonds. 100% positive.
