CHAPTER ONE Chemical Reactions and Equations

Consider the following situations of daily life and think what happens when milk is left at room temperature during summers.

an iron tawa/pan/nail is left exposed to humid atmosphere.

grapes get fermented.

food is cooked.

food gets digested in our body.

we respire.

In all the above situations, the nature and the identity of the initial substance have somewhat changed. We have already learnt about physical and chemical changes of matter in our previous classes. Whenever a chemical change occurs, we can say that a chemical reaction has taken place.

You may perhaps be wondering as to what is actually meant by a chemical reaction. How do we come to know that a chemical reaction has taken place? Let us perform some activities to find the answer to these questions.

Activity ONE point ONE

CAUTION: This Activity needs the teacher's assistance. It would be better if students wear suitable eyeglasses.

Clean a magnesium ribbon about three to four centimeters long by rubbing it with sandpaper.

Hold it with a pair of tongs. Burn it using a spirit lamp or burner and collect the ash so formed in a watch-glass as shown in Figure ONE point ONE. Burn the magnesium ribbon keeping it away as far as possible from your eyes.

Overview

The chapter on Chemical Reactions and Equations explores the nature of chemical changes and their representations through equations. It includes hands-on activities to observe reactions and details on how to balance chemical equations based on the law of conservation of mass.

Key Points

1Chemical reactions involve the transformation of substances and can be identified by changes such as state and temperature
2Chemical equations can be represented in word form or using chemical symbols
3Balancing chemical equations is essential to reflect the conservation of mass
4Different types of chemical reactions, such as combination reactions, are discussed with examples
5Understanding the physical states of reactants and products enhances the informativeness of chemical equations
