Element-Reactant-Product Tables
- Element-Reactant-Product Tables
An Element-Reaction-Product table is used to find coefficients while balancing an equation representing a chemical reaction. Coefficients represent moles of a substance so that the amount of atoms produced is equal to the amount of atoms being reacted with. This is the common setup:
* Element: it is all the elements that are in the reaction equation. Beneath the "element" section you list them all.
* Reactant: is the numbers of each of the elements on the reactants side of the reaction equation.
* Product: is the number of each element on the product side of the reaction equation.
The layout should eventually look like this, for a balanced reaction of baking soda and vinegar (HC2H3O2 + NaHCO3 = NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3)
Because of the coefficients, the equation is balanced.
