Aword equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
If you want information on the balanced symbol equations, feel free to PM me.
