Chemical equation

A chemical equation is a concise description of a chemical reaction in terms of symbols and formulae of the chemicals involved in the reaction.

Aqueous solution

  1. Aqueous solutions are those that have water as their solvent.
  2. In chemical equations, it's commonly represented by appending (aq) to the applicable chemical formula.
  3. A solution of table salt, or Sodium chloride(NaCl) in water, for example, might be represented by

Nacl(aq)Na+(aq)+Cl-(aq)SodiumchlorideSodiumChloride

Reaction conditions

  1. The temperature, pressure, and catalyst information, among other things, is supplied above the arrow or= separating the reactants and products. The following is a description of a reaction taking place at t°C and p atm pressure in the presence of a catalyst.
  2. ReactantsCatalystt0c,patmProducts
  3. For example, with the following conditions: temperature=450°C, pressure=200-900atm, and the presence of a catalyst, nitrogen, and hydrogen react to generate ammonia (a mixture of iron and molybdenum). The following is the chemical equation for this reaction.

N2(g)+3H2(g)450°C,200-900atmFe+Mo2NH3(g)NitrogenHydrogenAmmonia
