by Maryam Hussain What is a chemical equation? A chemical equation is merely a representation of a chemical reaction in the chemist's shorthand. A chemical reaction is what happens when one substance meets and reacts with another and a new substance is formed. The substances that react together are called reactants , and those formed are called products. The chemical properties of reactants involved in a chemical reaction are different from those of products. Chemical properties are characteristics that involve chemical change. A chemical property of hydrogen gas is that it combines with oxygen gas to form water (liquid). A chemical property of chlorine gas is that it combines with sodium metal to form table salt, a non-metal solid. A chemical property of gasoline is that it ignites to undergo combusts to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and a lot of heat. A chemical equation obeys the “law of conservation of mass” which states ...
