5. • magnesium ribbon burns with a dazzling white flame and
changes into a white powder.
• This powder is magnesium oxide.
• It is formed due to the reaction between magnesium and
oxygen present in the air.magnesium, etc.

the –
• Change in state
• Change in colour
• Evolution of a gas
• Change in temperature.
Conclusion
12. A chemical reaction is identified by any of these 4
factors
Change in state
change in colour
evolution of a gas
Change in temperature.
How do we identify a chemical reaction?
13. A chemical reaction is a process where the reactant
gets converted into a product which may be under an
influence of a catalyst .
A word-equation shows change of reactants to products
through an arrow placed between them.

3. What are the observations helps us to determine whether a
chemical reaction has taken place or not.
15. The reactants are written on the left-hand side
(LHS) with a plus sign (+) between them. Similarly,
products are written on the right- hand side (RHS)
with a plus sign (+) between them.
The arrowhead points towards the products,
and shows the direction of the reaction.

17. Writing a chemical reaction
A chemical equation represents a chemical reaction. If you
recall formulae of magnesium, oxygen and magnesium
oxide, the above word-equation can be written as –
Mg+O2 →MgO
18. According to law of conservation of mass matter
can neither be created nor be destroyed in a
chemical reaction.

INTRODUCED
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF
MASS
Balancing a chemical reaction
19. That is, the total mass of the elements present in the products of
a chemical reaction has to be equal to the total mass of the
elements present in the reactants.
In other words, the number of atoms of each element remains
then same, before and after a chemical reaction. Hence, we
need to balance a skeletal chemical equation
Balancing a chemical reaction
23. To balance a chemical equation, first draw boxes around each
formula. Do not change anything inside the boxes while
balancing the equation.
List the number of atoms of different elements present in the
unbalanced equation
Start balancing with the compound that contains the maximum
number of atoms. It may be a reactant or a product. In that
compound, select the element which has the maximum number
of atoms.
Balancing a chemical reaction
24. Balance the unbalanced atom.
Finally, to check the correctness of the balanced equation, we
count atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
To make a chemical equation more informative, the physical states of
the reactants and products are mentioned along with their chemical
formulae. The gaseous, liquid, aqueous and solid states of reactants
and products are represented by the notations (g), (l), (aq) and (s),
respectively.
25. The word aqueous (aq) is written if the reactant or product is present as a
solution in water.
56. THERE ARE 5 TYPES OF REACTIONS WE ARE GOING TO STUDY :-
1. COMBINATION REACTIONS
2. DECOMPOSITION REACTION
3. DISPLACEMENT REACTIONS
4. DUBLE DISPLACEMENT REACTIONS
5. REDOX REACTIONS
TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS
57. When two or more substances (elements or compounds)
combine to form a single product, the reactions are called
combination reactions
A reaction in which a single product is formed from two or
more reactants is known as a combination reaction.
COMBINATION REACTIONS
59. Calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to produce
slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) releasing a large amount
of heat.
CaO + H2O > Ca(OH)2
Calcium hydroxide reacts slowly with the carbon dioxide in
air to form a thin layer of calcium carbonate on the walls.
Calcium carbonate is formed after two to three days of white
washing and gives a shiny finish to the walls.
It is interesting to note that the chemical formula for marble
is also CaCO3.
COMBINATION REACTIONS
60.
61. Reactions in which heat is released along with the formation of
products are called exothermic chemical reactions.
Burning of natural gas and the decomposition of vegetable matter
into compost are also an example of an exothermic reaction.
62.
63.
64.
65. Endothermic reaction are those reactions in which heat is
absorbed.
During digestion, food is broken down into
simpler substances.
For example, rice, potatoes and bread contain
carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are
broken down to form glucose. This glucose
combines with oxygen in the cells of our body
and provides energy. So Exothermic process S

67. When a product breaks up into its constituent
reactants the reaction is termed as decomposition
reaction.
Decomposition reactions
Heat
2FeSO4 (s) Fe2O3(s) + SO2 (g) + SO3 (g)
68. In this reaction you can observe that a single reactant breaks
down to give simpler products. This is a decomposition reaction.
Decomposition reactions
69.
Ferrous sulphate crystals (FeSO4, 7H2O) lose water when heated
and the colour of the crystals changes.
It then decomposes to ferric oxide (Fe2O3), sulphur dioxide (SO2)
and sulphur trioxide (SO3). Ferric oxide is a solid, while SO2 and
SO3 are gases.
Decomposition reactions

Calcium oxide is called lime or quick lime. It has many uses –
one is in the manufacture of cement.
When a decomposition reaction is carried out by heating, it is
called thermal decomposition.
Decomposition reactions
77. Take a plastic mug. Drill two holes at its base and
fit rubber stoppers in these holes. Insert carbon
electrodes in these rubber stoppers. Connect
these electrodes to a 6 volt battery.
Fill the mug with water such that the electrodes are
immersed.
Add a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid to the
water.
Take two test tubes filled with water and invert
them over the two carbon electrodes.
Switch on the current and leave the apparatus
undisturbed for some time.
Electrolytic decomposition (electrolysis)
78. You will observe the formation of bubbles
at both the electrodes. These bubbles
displace water in the test tubes.
We will see hydrogen at the cathode and
oxygen at the anode and oxygen is
double of hydrogen in terms of volume.
Electrolytic decomposition (electrolysis)
79. white silver chloride turns grey in sunlight.
This is due to the decomposition of silver
chloride into silver and chlorine by light

Photolytic reactions are used in black and white
photography

The decomposition reactions require energy either in the
form of heat, light or electricity for breaking down the
reactants.
Reactions in which energy is absorbed are known as
endothermic reactions.
Decompsition Reactions
88. • In activity 1.7, gas collected in one of the test tubes is double of
the amount collected in the other because water gets
hydrolysed to release H2 and O2 gas.
• Here, after electrolysis two molecules of Hydrogen and one
molecule of oxygen gas are released; hence, the amount of
Hydrogen collected would be double than that of oxygen.
89.
90. When a element displaces another element from its
respective compound of lower reactivity it is said to be
a displacement reaction

101. When a product breaks up into its constituent reactants the reaction is termed as

simpler products. This is a decomposition reaction. Ferrous sulphate crystals
(FeSO4, 7H2O) lose water when heated and the colour of the crystals changes. It
then decomposes to ferric oxide (Fe2O3), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and sulphur
trioxide (SO3). Ferric oxide is a solid, while SO2 and SO3 are gases.

125. • Many non-metals react with bases to form salts.
• Bases are electron donors whereas non-metals are electron

readily accepts them and form a salt.
• Reactions of non-metals with bases are complex.
