PHYSICAL CHANGE:-

·         A kind of changes in which a substance undergoes a change in its physical properties is called a physical change.

·              Properties such as colour, shape, size and state of substance are called physical properties.

·         A physical change is generally reversible

·         In physical change where no new substance are formed.

·         The chemical properties of the substance doesn’t change.

CHEMICAL CHANGE:-

·         A kind of change in which a substance undergoes a change in its chemical properties is called a chemical change. Means totally a new substance is formed.

·         The chemical change is irreversible .It is permanent.

·         During chemical change heat, light, sound or gas may produce.

·         A change in colour or smell may occur.

·         Following are example of chemical change-

Ø  Burning of paper

Ø  Burning of wood

Ø  Burning of coal

Ø  Burning of magnesium ribbon

Ø  Making of curd from milk

Ø  Digestion of food

Ø  Ripening of fruits

Ø  Bursting of a cracker

Ø  Boiling of egg

Chemical reaction

·         Chemical change is also known as chemical reaction.
·    In chemical reaction changes in physical state, formation of a precipitate, change of color, change in temperature or evolution of a gas take place.

 Burning of magnesium ribbon:-

·          Burning of magnesium :Magnesium reacts with oxygen and form magnesium oxide in air.

·         The word-equation for the above reaction would be –

 Magnesium + Oxygen → Magnesium oxide

·         The substances that undergo chemical change in the reaction (1.1), magnesium and oxygen, are the reactants.

·         The new substance, magnesium oxide, formed during the reaction, is the product.

·       In word-equation change of reactants to products is  shows through an arrow placed between them.

·    Reactants are written on the (LHS) with a plus sign (+) between them.

·     Products are written on the  (RHS) with a plus sign (+) between them.

·         The arrowhead pointing towards the products, Which shows the direction of the reaction

Writing a Chemical Equation

·         Chemical equation can be written by using chemical symbols of reactants and products instead of their names.

Mg + O2 → MgO

·         Is the number of atoms of each element the same on both the sides equal? If not, then the equation is unbalanced because the mass is not the same on both sides of the equation. Such a chemical equation is a skeletal chemical equation or unbalanced chemical equation for a reaction.

·         A chemical equation in which the number of atoms of each element of reactants is equal to that of products, is called a balanced chemical equation.

Balancing a Chemical Equation

·         Equalizing the number of atoms of each element on reactants and products sides of a chemical equation is called balancing a chemical equation.

·         The word-equation for may be represented as –

Zinc + Sulphuric acid → Zinc sulphate + Hydrogen

·         The above word-equation may be represented by the following chemical equation –

Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2

·         Counting the number of atoms in reactants and product side

Element

Number of atoms reactants (LHS)

Number of atoms in products (RHS)

Zn

·         As the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow, chemical is a balanced chemical equation.

TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

Ø  Combination Reaction

Ø  Decomposition Reaction

Ø  Displacement Reaction

Ø  Double Displacement Reaction

Ø  Oxidation and Reduction Reaction

Combination Reaction

Ø  A reaction in which two or more substances combine together to form a single product is known as a combination reaction.

Ø  The combination reaction is often called synthesis.

Ø  Example:

1.      Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) releasing a large amount of heat.

CaO (s) + H2O (l) → Ca(OH)2 (aq)

In the above reaction, calcium oxide and water react to form a single product, calcium hydroxide. This kind of reaction in which a single product is formed from two or more reactants is known as a combination reaction.

2.      Formation of water from

H2(g) and O2(g) 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)    

3.      Burning of coal

C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)

 

 

Decomposition Reaction

Ø   Reactions in which a single substance breaks down to form two or more substances, is called a decomposition reaction.

Ø  Decomposition of calcium carbonate (Limestone) to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide on heating is an important decomposition reaction used in various industries. Calcium oxide is known as lime or quick lime. It has many uses  one is in the manufacture of cement. If decomposition reaction is carried out by heating, it is called thermal decomposition.

                           CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2(g)

Ø  Decomposition of FeSO4 on heating.

 2FeSO4(s) Fe2O3(s) + SO2(g) + SO3(g)

Displacement Reaction

Ø  The reaction in which one atom or a group of atoms of a compound is replaced by another atom, is called a displacement reaction.

Ø  Generally, a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution in displacement reaction.

Ø  The series in which metals are arranged in the decreasing order of their reactivity is called activity series of metals.

Activity series of metals.



FOR EASTING REMEMBERING THE REACTIVITY SERIES:

Examples of displacement reaction

Ø  Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

In above reaction, iron has displaced or removed another element, copper, from copper sulphate solution. This reaction is known as displacement reaction

Ø  Other examples of displacement reactions are

Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq)→ ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

Pb(s) + CuCl2(aq) → PbCl2(aq) + Cu(s)

Zinc and lead  both are more reactive elements than copper and They displace copper from its compounds

Double Displacement Reaction

 

Ø  The reaction in which anions and cations of two different molecules exchange places, forming two completely different compounds, is called double displacement reaction. For example,

 Na2SO4 (aq) + BaCl2(aq) → BaSO4 (s) + 2NaCl(aq)

Oxidation and Reduction

Oxidation: If any substance gains oxygen or loses hydrogen in a reaction, the substance is said to be oxidized and the reaction is known as oxidation.

 

Oxidizing Agent: If any  substance oxidizes the other substance gets reduced, then

It is known as an oxidizing agent.

Ø  The surface of copper powder becomes coated with black copper(II) oxide.

Ø  Why has this black substance formed?

Ø  This is because oxygen is added to copper and copper oxide is formed.

2Cu + O2   2CuO

Ø  This is called oxidation reaction.

Ø  If a substance gains oxygen during a reaction, it is said to be oxidised.

Ø  If a substance loses oxygen during a reaction, it is said to be reduced.

Reduction: If any substance loses oxygen and gains hydrogen in a reaction, the substance is said to be reduced and the process involved is known as reduction.

 Reducing Agent: If any substance reduces the other substance but itself gets oxidized, then

it is known as a reducing agent.

Ø  Example of reduction reaction

2 Na + H2S  Na2S + H2

Redox reaction:

Ø  In redox rection,Oxidation and reduction reaction taking place simultaneously

CuO+H2 →Cu+H2O

During above reaction the copper(II) oxide is losing oxygen and is being reduced. The hydrogen is gaining oxygen and is being oxidised.

 

HAVE YOU OBSERVED THE EFFECTS OF OXIDATION REACTIONS IN EVERYDAY LIFE? Y LIFE?

Ø  Oxidation has a damaging effect on metals as well as on food. The damaging effect of oxidation on metals is studied as corrosion, and that on food is studied as rancidity. Thus, two common effects of oxidation reactions observed in daily life are corrosion of metals and rancidity of food
