Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a chemical equation represents a chemical reaction, showing reactants on the left and products on the right.
Identify the symbols commonly used in chemical equations: '+' separates multiple reactants or products, '⇌' indicates a reversible reaction, '=' is not typically used in chemical equations, and '→' separates reactants from products in a forward reaction.
Recognize that the symbol that separates reactants from products in a standard chemical equation is the arrow '→'.
Note that '+' is used to separate different reactants or different products, but it does not separate reactants from products.
Conclude that the correct symbol separating reactants from products in a chemical equation is '→'.
