Question

Compare the reactants and products in the chemical equations below. Which statement best describes the relation between matter and energy?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Chemical reactions are very complex processes which include the collision of molecules. During the chemical reactions, bonds between the breakdown of the atom and transformed in new ways. The chemical compounds that react together during the chemical reactions are called reactants, shown on the left side of the equation. They are broken down during the reaction and used as the reaction progresses. The chemical compounds that are formed from the rearrangement and breakdown of the reactants are called products. The products are shown on the right side of the chemical equation. As compare to the reactants, the products are more stable molecules. For example, in the reaction between H2SO4 and Zn, these two chemicals are the reactants, while ZnSO4 and H2 are the chemical reaction products.

                                                Zn + H2SO4       ZnSO4 + H2

                                                 (Reactants)            (Products)

The matter is a material that everything is made of matter. A property that matter has is known as energy. The same quantity of matter can have a diverse quantity of energy. Both energy and matter are identical. For example, if we add some energy into an ice cube, it will turn into liquid. After that, if we add more energy, liquid will turns into steam.
