Word equations
If a reaction occurs between magnesium and oxygen, magnesium oxide is produced, here is the word equation for this reaction: -
magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide
Some other examples are:
hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate --> calcium chloride+ carbon dioxide+ water
sodium + water --> sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide --> sodium chloride + water
Write word equations for the reactions in which the following compounds form from a halogen and another suitable element:
hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, iron III chloride, iron III bromide, sodium chloride, copper chloride.
Formulae
The formula of an element or compound is simply the symbol of each element present and numbers to show how many atoms are present. Carbon dioxide has the formula CO2. This means that it has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms in each molecule.
