The chemical equation format for a process typically includes the reactants on the left side of the arrow and the products on the right side of the arrow. Here is an example:
Reactants + Reactants → Products
For a specific chemical reaction, the specific reactants, products, and their respective symbols would be included in the equation.
For instance, let's consider the reaction of hydrogen gas (H₂) with oxygen gas (O₂) to form water (H₂O):
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O
This equation represents the process of combining hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to produce water.
Give the process as the chemical equation using the symbols for the product and reactant such as
