Environment for chemical reaction with reference

Question

I need a chemical reaction environment, numbered and able to be referenced/labeled. It must also that is consistent with equation in its looks. I have read many questions and my code is an adaptation of this answer.

However I would really like to be able to use the same default \label.

I don't need a List of Reactions as most other questions seems to seek.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{amsmath,}
\usepackage{mhchem}[version=4]
\usepackage{tocloft}
\newcommand{\reactionlistname}{List of reactions}
\newlistof{reactions}{rxs}{\reactionlistname}


\newcounter{system}
\renewcommand*{\thesystem}{\arabic{system}}
\newcommand*{\systemautorefname}{Reaction}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\p@system}{%
    \expandafter\p@@system
}
\newcommand*{\p@@system}[1]{%
    #1%
}
\makeatother

\newenvironment{reaction}[1][]{%
    \refstepcounter{system}%
    \ifx\\#1\\%
    \else
    \label{#1}%
    \fi
    \begin{equation}%
}{%
    \tag{\thesystem}%
    \end{equation}%
}


\begin{document}

    You can see the chemical decomposition at \autoref{rea:bla} and its mathematical representation in \autoref{eq:foo}.


    \begin{equation}\label{eq:foo}
    t^2 + 27t
    \end{equation}


    \begin{reaction}[rea:bla]
        \ce{SiC + 2O2 -> CO2 + SiO2},
    \end{reaction}

\end{document}

Edit 1:

I've also tried chemmacros, based on here, but then I get Equation 1 instead of Reaction 1:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,}
\usepackage{chemmacros}
\chemsetup{
    modules = {reactions} ,
    formula = mhchem
}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}
You can see the chemical decomposition at \autoref{rea:bla} and its mathematical representation in \autoref{eq:foo}.


    \begin{equation}\label{eq:foo}
    t^2 + 27t
    \end{equation}


    \begin{reaction}\label{rea:bla}
        \ce{SiC + 2O2 -> CO2 + SiO2},
    \end{reaction}  
\end{document}

Answer 1

With the code of a previous answer of mine and some additions

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{chemmacros}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\makeatletter % patchcmd from etoolbox, loaded by chemmacros
\patchcmd{\hyper@makecurrent}
 {\edef\Hy@param{#1}}
 {\xHy@param@def{#1}}
 {}{}
\def\xHy@param@def#1{%
  \edef\@tempa{\csname theH#1\endcsname}%
  \edef\@tempa{\expandafter\@car\@tempa\@nil}%
  \edef\Hy@param{\if R\@tempa reaction\else#1\fi}%
}
\makeatother
\newcommand\reactionautorefname{Reaction}

\chemsetup{
  modules = {reactions},
  formula = mhchem,
  reactions/tag-open=(R,
  reactions/tag-close=),
}

\begin{document}
You can see the chemical decomposition at \autoref{rea:bla} and its 
mathematical representation in \autoref{eq:foo}.
\begin{equation}\label{eq:foo}
t^2 + 27t
\end{equation}
and there is a reaction
\begin{reaction}\label{rea:bla}
\ce{SiC + 2O2 -> CO2 + SiO2},
\end{reaction}  

\end{document}

Answer 2

You can define new Reaction command; I also would suggest to use rxn acronym instead of rea for better code readability (rxn stands exclusively for "reaction", whereas "rea" has numerous meanings). Adapted from my answer:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,}
\usepackage{chemmacros}
    \chemsetup{
        modules = {reactions},
        formula = mhchem,
        reactions/tag-open    = {(},
        reactions/tag-close   = {)},
    }
\usepackage{hyperref}
\newcommand{\rxnref}[1]{Reaction~\ref{#1}}

\begin{document}
You can see the chemical decomposition at \rxnref{rxn:bla} and its mathematical representation in \autoref{eq:foo}.

\begin{equation}\label{eq:foo}
    t^2 + 27t
\end{equation}

\begin{reaction}\label{rxn:bla}
    \ce{SiC + 2O2 -> CO2 + SiO2}
\end{reaction}

\end{document}
