Question

The chemical equation is a statement that describes a chemical reaction in terms of symbols and formulae.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• A statement that describes a chemical reaction in terms of symbols and formulae is called a chemical equation.
• For example, Hydrochloric acid reacts with Sodium hydroxide solution to form Sodium hydroxide (salt) and water with the evolution of a large amount of heat.
• The chemical equation can be written as:
• $\underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{hydroxide}}{\mathrm{NaOH}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Hydrochloric}\mathrm{acid}}{\mathrm{HCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{chloride}}{\mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}+\mathrm{Heat}$

Hence, the given statement is true.
