8. Fill in the blanks with the correct words.

(d). $\mathrm{Hydrogen}+\mathrm{Oxygen}\to \mathrm{Water}$ is a __________ (word/unbalanced) equation.

Answer 1

$\mathrm{Hydrogen}+\mathrm{Oxygen}\to \mathrm{Water}$ is a word equation.

• This would represent a word equation.
• A word equation gives the names of the substance involved in a reaction.
• For example:

$\mathrm{Hydrogen}+\mathrm{Oxygen}\to \mathrm{Water}$

• Hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants as they are on the left-hand side of the arrow, and water is the product as it is on the right-hand side of the arrow.

Therefore, $\mathrm{Hydrogen}+\mathrm{Oxygen}\to \mathrm{Water}$ is a word equation.
