Limitations of Chemical Reaction

Limitations of chemical equations:

  • A chemical equation does not indicate the physical state of the reactants and the products, i.e., it does not say whether the substances involved in the reaction are solids, liquids or the gases.
  • It does not indicate whether heat is evolved or absorbed as a result of reaction i.e., it does not say whether reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
  • It does not indicate the conditions of the reaction, i.e., it gives no idea about the pressure, temperature,  concentration, presence of catalyst, etc, under which the reaction may occur.
  • It does not indicate whether the reaction is fast or slow.
