A

A Reaction Equation or Chemical Equation is an expression that represents a chemical reaction. A reaction equation uses the following basic format:

m1R1 + m2R2 + ... → n1P1 + n2P2 + ...

Where: 
  R1, R2, ... are molecular formulas of reactants
  m1, m2, ... are number of reactant molecules
  P1, P2, ... are molecular formulas of products
  n1, n2, ... are number of product molecules

Examples of reaction equations:

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
NaCl → Na + Cl
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
Zn + 2H+ → Zn2+ + H2
AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO3
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O
