It doesn't tell you about the equilibrium (whether products or reactants are favored).  It tells you nothing about the rate of the reaction, nor does it give any energetics (exo/endothermic).

Rubbish question!
The chemical equation doesn't tell you the colour of the products (but I bet that's not what you are looking for). How about some context to help us out here. Are we talking activation energy, enthalpy, entropy etc?

doesnt tell you if you can get a date for prom this year

also it doesnt show, favoring of products or reactants, and thats really about it.

you can tell color from the ion separation
quantity etc all from extrapolating the equation
