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
Check Mark

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.
