Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.1QE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The difference between writing the names of the reactants and products of the reaction, and writing the chemical equation has to be given.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The starting substance of the reaction is called as reactant and final compound of the reaction is called as product. Reactants are placed to the left and products to the right of the arrow.
Hence, the name of the reactant and product only shows that which molecule is converted into what, it doesn’t shows how many moles are required to convert or will produced.
The chemical equation is a convenient and quantitative way to describe chemical changes during the reaction. The chemical equation shows that stoichiometry quantitative relationships among the species involved in molecular or molar amount.
Thus, writing the names of the reactants and products of the reaction is different from writing the chemical equation.

Why can't you simply add the masses of two reactants to determine the total mass of product? Choose the best answer and explain. One of the reactants could be present in excess, and not all of it will be used to make the product(s). The masses of the reactants must be converted to moles first and then added. Not all chemical reactions follow the law of conservation of mass, especially ones with mixed physical states present. The masses of the two reactants cannot be added until they are each multiplied by their coefficient in the balanced equation. It is only the molar masses that are conserved in chemical reactions, not the actual mass amounts given in the laboratory.arrow_forwardWhat does it mean to say an equation is balanced?
