SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on how balanced chemical equations indicate the physical states of reactants and products, specifically solid, liquid, gas, or aqueous. Participants emphasize the importance of referencing the periodic table of Mendeleev to determine the state of substances involved in the reaction. For example, the state of water can be confirmed by consulting the periodic table. This method provides a definitive approach to understanding the states of matter in chemical reactions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of balanced chemical equations
  • Familiarity with the periodic table of Mendeleev
  • Basic knowledge of states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, aqueous)
  • Concept of reactants and products in chemical reactions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of different states of matter
  • Learn how to read and interpret the periodic table of Mendeleev
  • Study examples of balanced chemical equations and their states
  • Explore the significance of aqueous solutions in chemical reactions
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the relationship between chemical equations and the physical states of substances.

How does the balanced chemical equation tell us the products are in which state? Solid, Liquid, or Gas or aqueous?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
How do you think it does?
 
You would write the reactants and the products first and then you would look up these reactants and products on the periodic table of Mandeleev to know which state it has.

So, what does the periodic table say about state of water?

Don't guess - get the periodic table and check.
