The forward arrow in a chemical equation means: The reaction yields something.

you sure

Yes, I am sure. In a chemical equation, the forward arrow (→) indicates that the reactants are transformed into products during the reaction, meaning the reaction yields something.

If the reaction is reversible, both the forward and reverse reactions are typically represented with a double arrow (⇌).
