Chemical reactions, chemical equations

​
Above, we can see evidence of a chemical reaction occurring.

And below is a chemical equation: chemists' language that gives us some information about the reaction ....
​

Vive la difference!

Modules in this Chapter 05 explore the difference between chemical reactions and their representational form (chemical equations), as well as the significance of both.
​

The representation is not the real thing.
