Answer:
NaClo3 is the reactant here.
Explanation:
- In any chemical reaction there is reactant and product. The one that takes part in chemical reaction is called as reactant.
- For example:
In the reaction below:
[tex]H_{2} + O_{2}[/tex] ----------------------> 2[tex]H_{2} O[/tex]
Here [tex]H_{2}[/tex] and [tex]O_{2}[/tex] are reactant, they take part in chemical reaction to form water as a product.
- So the left hand side in a reaction equation always denotes the reactants. As in our question NaClo3 is in the left part of the reaction, it is the reactant.
