Question

examine the equation below:
caco₃ → cao + co₂
based on what youve learned about chemical equations:

1. identify the names of the reactants and products in this reaction.

Explanation:

In a chemical equation, the substances on the left - hand side of the arrow are reactants, and those on the right - hand side are products. For the equation \(CaCO_{3}\to CaO + CO_{2}\), \(CaCO_{3}\) is on the left, so it is the reactant. \(CaO\) and \(CO_{2}\) are on the right, so they are products.

Answer:

Reactant: Calcium carbonate (\(CaCO_{3}\)). Products: Calcium oxide (\(CaO\)) and carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)).
