Question

A chemical reaction is represented with symbols and formulas by means of a:
(A) Chemical equation
(B) Reactant
(C) Product
(D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint: A chemical reaction rearranges the component atoms of the reactants and creates various different substances as products. The symbols represent the reaction taking place and define the equation.

Complete answer:
- A chemical reaction is a process that involves chemical transformation, i.e. rearrangement of molecular structure of substance, to another form with respect to the nuclear reaction.
- A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the atoms involved in the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms in the products side.
-When iron and oxygen are combined together to form rust, and vinegar and baking soda combine to form sodium acetate, is an example of a typical chemical reaction.
- A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, in the form of symbols and formulae.
- In the chemical reaction, the reactants are shown on the left-hand side, whereas the products are shown on the right-hand side.

Therefore, the answer to the above question is (A) Chemical equation.

Additional information: Chemical reactions are present there in our everyday life. There are reactions occurring around the world. Some of the examples are combustion, photosynthesis, digestion, respiration, and many more.

Note: A chemical equation consists of the chemical formulas of the reactants and the chemical formula of the product. These two are separated by an arrow symbol and each individual substance's chemical formula is separated from others by a plus sign.
