While skeleton equations provide us with a lot of information about a chemical reaction, they are not perfect. What is a major limitation to skeleton equations?
29

They don't tell us how much of each substance is needed for the reaction, just what is present.
They indicate what conditions under which the reaction occurs (temperature, presence of a catalyst, etc.).
They tell us the physical state of each reactant and product in the reaction.
They tell us too much information about a reaction. We only need the minimum amount of information required to know what will happen.
