A reagent /riˈeɪdʒənt/ is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or added to test if a reaction occurs. The terms reactant and reagent are often used interchangeably—however, a reactant is more specifically a substance consumed in the course of a chemical reaction.

What is in a reagent?
A reagent is a compound or mixture added to a system to cause a chemical reaction or test if a reaction occurs.
What are the difference between reactants and products?
The substance(s) to the left of the arrow in a chemical equation are called reactants. A reactant is a substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction. The substance(s) to the right of the arrow are called products . A product is a substance that is present at the end of a chemical reaction.
What is reagent in laboratory?
Listen to pronunciation. (ree-AY-jent) A substance used to carry out a laboratory test. Reagents may be used in a chemical reaction to detect, measure, or make other substances.
Are reagents products?
A reactant is a substance that is consumed in the creation of a product in a chemical reaction. A reagent is used to detect, measure, or produce other substances. In other words, a reagent is a more passive reactant (could be a catalyst?).

What are the 5 classes of reactions?
The five basic types of chemical reactions are combination, decomposition, single-replacement, double-replacement, and combustion.
What are examples of reactants?
Examples of Reactants

- When you burn methane gas, the reactants are methane (CH4) and oxygen in air (O2). ...
- When water forms from its elements, the reactants are hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) gas.
What's the reactant?
Reactants are substances initially present in a chemical reaction that are consumed during the reaction to make products.
What is CP grade?
CP (Chemically Pure) Grade—Products of purity suitable for use in general applications. FCC Grade—Products that meet the requirements of the current Food Chemical Codex. GenAR—A line of reagents specifically developed for use in biotechnology and genetic research.
What is reagent grade?
Reagent Grade– A high purity grade, which is usually equal to the ACS grade. Reagent grade chemicals are generally suited for laboratory and analytical research.
Why are reagents important?
A reagent in chemical science is a “substance or compound that is added to a system in order to bring a chemical reaction or is added to check whether a reaction is occurred or not.” Such a reaction is used to confirm the detection of the presence of another substance.
