Question
photosynthesis and cellular respiration
6co₂ + 6h₂o → c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂
in a chemical equation,
what do we call the result of
the reaction?
product reactant
In a chemical equation, reactants are the substances that undergo the reaction (on the left side of the arrow), and products are the substances formed as a result of the reaction (on the right side of the arrow). In the given photosynthesis equation, $\ce{C6H12O6}$ and $\ce{6O2}$ are on the right side, so they are products. Reactants are the starting materials (like $\ce{6CO2}$ and $\ce{6H2O}$ here). So the result of the reaction is called a product.
