ok, i have this question... i have to answer, but its like italian to me!! plz here it goes...
sodium salicylate is made from carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide. identify each of these substances as a reactant or a product...
how do i tell them apart? which one is whitch? plz, this is the first homework i got in this class, and o already feel like i'll fail! :(

Carbon dioxide + sodium phenoxide = sodium salicylate
Therefore, the reactants [the things that you use] are carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide. The product is what you get after the reaction, that is, sodium salicylate.

The product in a chemical reaction is what is "made" as a result of the reaction, so in this case the produce would be the sodium salicylate. The reactants are what two (or more) things are combining (or reacting) to form the product, so in this case the reactants would be the carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide. I hope this helps!

The question gives yu all of the answers you need.
"Sodium Salicylate is made". Therefore, this is the product.
"from carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide". These are the ingredients, better known as the reactants.

Relax.
Reactants are what's created from the product.
So, the products are sodium phenoxide and carbon dixoide.
The reactant is sodium salicylate.

Reactants are the things you have before, products are what you have afterwards. We're talking about making sodium salicylate from carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide, so the things we make it from (carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide) are the reactants and the thing we make (sodium salicylate) is the product.

you state that sodium salicylate is MADE FROM carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide, correct? yes, so carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide are the reactants because they react to form something new, or the sodium salicylate...the product.

sodium salicylate is product
carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide are the reactants
So
carbon dioxide + sodium phenoxide = sodium salicylate
