36. Let’s Practice!

37. Summarizer:
Consider the following: 2 S2O3 + I2 → S4O6 + 2I
1.What are the reactants?
2.What are the products?
3.If there are 12 grams of reactants in a chemical
reaction, what is the mass of the products?
4.If you create a chemical reaction in an open test
tube and the mass of the reactants is MORE than
the mass of the products, what happened?!
5.What is a precipitate?
