To determine

To explain: The comparison and contrast between the synthesis and decomposition reaction.

Answer to Problem 34R

Reactants are that constituent particles of a chemical reaction which are reacting with each other and form the product. Reactants are present on the left side while products are present on the right side of the reaction.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A chemical reaction is a representation that involves the conversion of the reactants into the one or more new substances, knows as products.

A chemical reaction is a representation that involves the conversion of the reactants into the one or more new substances, knows as products.
