Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The observation from the chemical equation for a reaction needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A balanced chemical equation provides lots of information regarding the products which includes physical states, production of gaseous products, formation of precipitates, etc.
Answer to Problem 1TAI
In a balanced chemical equation, the physical states of reactants and products are written in bracket. So, nature of products can be predicted from a chemical equation.
Explanation of Solution
If a gas is produced in a reaction generally it is shown as upward arrow beside the product. A precipitate formation is represented as a downward arrowbeside the product. Whether any product is solid, liquid or gas can be predicted from the chemical equation as these states are generally mentioned in bracket for all reactants and products.
Theoretical yield of all the products can be calculated with the help of a balanced chemical equation.
