Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To state the balanced chemical equation for the given reaction and give the name of the products so formed.

Concept introduction:

A balanced chemical reaction equation is the one in which the number of atoms of all the elements are equal on both the sides of the chemical equation.A compound refers to a substance which contains definite proportion of two or more elements joined together through chemical bonds. A chemical formula depicts the number of atoms of each element present in a compound. It consists of symbols of each of the atoms present in the given compound as well as how many atoms of each element are present in the compound are denoted by a subscript.
