Step-by-step explanation:

When we write a chemical reaction equation then species present on the left hand side represents the reactants. Whereas species present on the right hand side represent the products.

For example,
Limestone + Heat \rightarrow Lime + Carbon dioxide

Here, limestone is the reactant whereas lime and carbon dioxide are the products.

Thus, we can conclude that limestone is the reactant. And, both lime and carbon dioxide are the products.
