Question

State whether True or False (T/F).

Reactants are written on the left hand side of a chemical equation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• A chemical reaction represents a chemical change from one or more substances to a new substance.
• These chemical reactions are represented using symbols and formulae of the substances involved in the reaction. Such representation is known as the Chemical equation.
• Substances that react with each other and are present on the left-hand side in a chemical equation are known as reactants. While products are those substances that are formed in a chemical equation and are present on the right-hand side of a chemical equation.
• For example - in a reaction $\mathrm{C}+{\mathrm{O}}_2\to {\mathrm{CO}}_2;\mathrm{C}\mathrm{and}{\mathrm{O}}_2$are reactants.
