Question

Which statement is true about word equations with regards to chemical reactions? A. they provide the most accurate way of describing reactions B. they are recognizable by speakers of all languages C. they provide a qualitative description of a reaction but not a quantitative one D. they are just as useful as reactions described by chemical equations

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is Correct

Explanation:

they provide a qualitative description of a reaction but not a quantitative one.

This is why we write chemical equation not word equations.

The chemical equation is more important than word equation because the word equation only define products or reactants but the chemical equation says how much of each element present in the chemicals.

                                   So for qualitative analysis we consider chemical or formula equation not consider word equation.
