    This document provides a summary of common chemical equation symbols and their meanings. It lists symbols for chemical reactions (yields, heat, temperature), catalysts (Pd), physical states (solid, liquid, gas, aqueous solution), and products (precipitate, gas). It then provides three examples of chemical equations using these symbols, showing a combustion reaction, a double displacement reaction between aluminum and iron (III) oxide, and a reaction between magnesium bromide and chlorine gas requiring heat.

    Equation Symbols

    Symbols: Meaning:
     Yields
     or heat Reactants are heated
    0C Rection occurs at a specific
    temperature
    Pd Reaction requires a catalyst

    (s) or (cr) Solid or crystal


    (l) Liquid
    (g) Gas
    (aq) Aqueous solution (in water)
     Precipitate (solid forms)
     Gas product

    a. Propane is a flammable liquid. You light a propane (C3H8)


    fire in a stove with a match. Carbon dioxide and water are
    released by this combustion reaction.

    C3H8 + 5O2  3CO2 + 4H2O


    b. Aluminum metal is added to a solution of iron (III) oxide.
    You get a solid product (which begins to rust after some
    time) and an aqueous product.

    2Al + Fe2O3  2Fe + Al2O3

    c. A solid chunk of magnesium bromide is exposed to chlorine


    gas. The reactants are heated. The products are a new solid
    and a gas that extinguishes a burning wood splint.

    MgBr2 + Br2  MgCl2 + Cl2
