A Chemical equation is useful because it shows all the
elements or compounds involved on a chemical reaction. It also shows which
elements or compounds are the products and which are the reactants. The behavior of each element or compound can
also be seen in the equation, on what each element or compound did as to where
they went or what they formed when they reacted. Chemical equations are very useful because all
information are found in one equation, thus, no need for a lot of reading.
