Direction: Fill in the table below with the
Reactants and Products from the chemical
reactions above. Below each number, write
the symbol or formula of the reactant and
product.
 Chemical Equation
• A chemical equation is a chemist’s
shorthand for a chemical reaction. It
represents the way in which a reaction
rearranges the atoms in reactants.
• The equation distinguishes between the
reactants, which are the starting materials
and the products which are the resulting
substance/s.

• We must know the reactants and products,

atomic symbols and formulas of the
reactants and products, direction of the
reaction.
 Let’s try these!
Using the symbols and formulas. Write the
chemical reaction using these symbols to
complete chemical equation.
1.Hydrogen and chlorine react to make HCl.
2.Ethane, C2H6, reacts with oxygen to make
carbon dioxide and water
3. Nitrogen and hydrogen reacting to
produce ammonia, NH3.
4. Magnesium hydroxide reacts with nitric
acid to produce magnesium nitrate and
water,
1. H2 +Cl2 HCl
2. C2H6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
3. N2 + H2 → NH3
4. Mg (OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Mg (NO3)2 + 2H2O
Fill the table below. Write the chemical equation
using these symbols.
