To match the parts of the chemical equation to their correct description, you need to understand the different elements and symbols involved in a chemical equation.
Column A:
1. Cl2 + AlI3: This represents the reactants of the chemical equation. Reactants are the substances present at the beginning of a chemical reaction, which in this case are chlorine (Cl2) and aluminum iodide (AlI3).
2. I2 + AlCl3: This represents the products of the chemical equation. Products are the substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction, which in this case are iodine (I2) and aluminum chloride (AlCl3).
3. (g) or (aq): This represents the state of matter for the substances involved in the chemical equation. (g) stands for gas, indicating that the substance is in a gaseous state, while (aq) stands for aqueous, indicating that the substance is dissolved in water.
4. -->: This represents the direction in which the reaction progresses. In a chemical equation, the arrow points towards the products, indicating the conversion of reactants into products.
Column B:
a. Reactants: This corresponds to the substances involved at the beginning of a chemical reaction, which are present on the left side of the arrow in the equation.
b. Shows which way the reaction progresses: This corresponds to the arrow (-->), which shows the direction in which the reaction progresses, from reactants to products.
c. Products: This corresponds to the substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction, which are present on the right side of the arrow in the equation.
d. State of Matter: This corresponds to the state of matter in which the substances are present, indicated by (g) for gas or (aq) for aqueous.
To match the parts, you can refer to the descriptions provided in both columns and associate the correct descriptions with the corresponding parts of the chemical equation.
