How do you call chemical equations, like "MgCl2(aq)+2AgNO3(aq)→2AgCl(s)+Mg(NO3)2​(aq)"?? I don't know how to call them, especially "→" mark in equations. Thanks!

Answer

We call them Chemical Equations.

To find the name for each symbol (For example Mg), go to the Periodic Table of Elements.

The "→" is called an arrow, however, when saying the equation out loud we say "X reacts with Y to make V and W". The arrow becomes the "to make".

I study Chemistry at A Level in the UK.

Answer

(Periodic table of elements)

to Balance Chemical Equations;

SnO2 + H2 → Sn + 2 H2O
