Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A chemical reaction involves the transformation/conversion of substance(s) (called reactants) into new substance(s) (called products). The products are the end substances gotten from a chemical reaction. They are written on the right hand side of a chemical equation. They could be in solid, liquid or gaseous form.

Consider the reaction below

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇒ KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

In the equation above, KCl and H₂O are the products formed from the reaction.

Products are the species formed from chemical reactions. During a chemicalreaction reagents are transformed into products after passing through a high energy transition state. This process results in the consumption of the reagents.
