Question

How is the following information provided in a chemical equation?

the reaction conditions

Answer 1

Reaction Conditions:

1. Reaction Conditions are the environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, catalysts & solvent, under which a reaction takes place.
2. Catalysts are substances that accelerate the reaction but do not form the final product.
3. Some reactions need a rise in temperature or pressure to form the final product
4. Some reaction takes place in an aqueous form and for this, we will need a solvent.
5. All these things are represented in a chemical equation by writing these conditions above the arrow$(\to )$.
6. Example:

$$\begin{gathered} 2{\mathrm{SO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+{\mathrm{O}}_2{\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}_{}\stackrel{{\mathrm{V}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_{5,}450°\mathrm{c}}{\to }2{\mathrm{SO}}_3\left(\mathrm{g}\right) \\ \mathrm{Sulphur}\mathrm{Oxygen}\mathrm{Sulphur} \\ \mathrm{dioxide}\mathrm{trioxide} \end{gathered}$$
