Question

8. Fill in the blanks with the correct words.

(c). If more than one reactants are involved in a chemical reaction, they are separated by a ____________ (+/,) sign.

Answer 1

• A symbolic representation of the changes which occur in a chemical reaction, expressed in terms of the formulae of the molecules involved, is called a chemical equation.
• In general, we write the chemical equation : $\mathrm{Reactant}\to \mathrm{Product}$
• The reactant is written on the left-hand side of the arrow, while the product is written on the right-hand side of the arrow.
• If more than one reactants or product are involved in the reaction, then they are separated by a + sign.

$\mathrm{Reactant}1+\mathrm{Reactant}2\to \mathrm{Product}$

Therefore, If more than one reactants are involved in a chemical reaction, they are separated by a + sign.
