What is a reactant in a chemical equation example?

Answer 1

Almost any chemical element or compound can participate in some type of chemical reaction and thereby be a reactant. One of the more common reactants is oxygen. It may be that only helium can never be a reactant.

Answer 2

Reactants are things which are combines to form a product. A reaction needs at least one reactant to give products. Reactants can be in solid state, liquid state or in gaseous state. Some reactants are energetically unfavourable so catalysts are used to make reaction possible and produce products.

Answer 3

In a chemical reaction the starting materials are treated as reactants. A chemical reaction example: N2 (nitrogen) + 3H2(hydrogen) <=> 2NH3 (ammonia),

Nitrogen and hydrogen are considered as chemical reactants. In any chemical balance equation left-hand compounds are called as chemical reactants.

Another example of the above is "the chemical reagent".

Answer 4

A reactant a chemical equation (example) are the elements or compounds which are present on the lest side of the equation.The vast majority of reactions include two or more reactants that react to give one or more products. Example of a reaction is :

NH3 + HCl -> NH4 Cl + HEAT.

Answer 5

reactants are like a chemical that if you mix it together with water the mass changes.

Answer 6

Burn carbon in air. Reactants are carbon and oxygen (from the air).

Mix sulfuric acid with sodium hydroxide. Bothe of these are reactants.

Answer 7

6CO2 + 12H2O+ light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O

Answer 8

Example of a chemical reaction:
NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
Reactants are NaCl and HCl; NaCl and H2O are the products.
