unit 1, lc2 practice
the chemical equation for photosynthesis is below. label the parts of the chemical equation.
6co₂ + 6h₂o + energy → 6co₂ + c₆h₁₂o₆
reactants products exothermic endothermic

Explanation:

In a chemical equation, the substances on the left - hand side of the arrow are reactants. They are the starting materials that undergo a chemical change. Here, \(6CO_2+6H_2O + energy\) are the reactants. The substances on the right - hand side of the arrow are products. They are the new substances formed as a result of the chemical reaction. So, \(6O_2 + C_6H_{12}O_6\) are the products. Exothermic and endothermic refer to heat release and absorption respectively, which are not labels for the left or right side of the equation in this context (reactants and products are the relevant labels here).

Answer:

Left - hand side (first box): reactants; Right - hand side (second box): products
