Question

Observe the experiment in the image. HELP THIS WAS DUE YESTERDAY

Based on your knowledge of chemistry, explain what the reactants and the products are of the chemical reaction, why the masses on the scale are the same, and what type of chemical reaction indicator was given to show that a chemical change has taken place.

Answer 1

In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules produced by the reaction are called products. In a chemical reaction, only the atoms present in the reactants

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The reactants:
Ch4 (methane)
2O2 (oxygen)

These are the reactants because they are on the left side of the arrow

Products:

CO2 (carbon dioxide)
2H2O (water)

They are on the right side of the arrow and are produced from the reactants

The masses in the scale are the same bc according to the law of conservation no mass is either created nor destroyed but is simply chemically rearranged causing for them to have the same mass on both sides, if they were not equal some part of the chemical reaction is wrong because of the law.

A chemical reaction has taken place because in the product side chemicals have been rearranged and that cannot be undone physically

Hope this helps!!
