Question

quiz : balancing chemical reactions
cao(s) + h₂o (l) → ca(oh)₂(s)
in this reaction, label the chemicals as reactants or products
cao
h₂o
ca(oh)₂

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, reactants are on the left - hand side of the arrow and products are on the right - hand side. Here, \(CaO\) and \(H_2O\) are on the left of the arrow (\(\to\)), so they are reactants. \(Ca(OH)_2\) is on the right of the arrow, so it is a product.

Answer:

\(CaO\): Reactant
\(H_2O\): Reactant
\(Ca(OH)_2\): Product
