Chemical reactions and equations

 What we will study:-

- Chemical reactions

- Chemical equations

- Types of chemical reactions.

Why study chemical reactions?

Because it occurs in our day to day life.

For example:- Food left at room temperature during summer starts melting.( Because chemical reaction happen in food )

Medicines taken react in body and we feel better.

Trees derive it's food by photosynthesis that is nothing but chemical reactions.

We respire (food + oxygen--> energy)

Remote cells

Rusting of iron (Fe + O2 ---> rust)

Digestion of food

In vehicle, fuel burns and produces energy and heat.

Observations:- following observations helps us to determine whether a chemical reaction has taken place:-

  • Change of state
  • Change of colour
  • Evolution of a gas
  • Change of temperature.

Activity:-

  • Clean a magnesium ribbon about 2 cm long by rubbing it with sand paper.
  • Hold it with a pair of tong.
  • Burn it using a spirit lamp or burner and collect the ash.

Observations:- 

  • Magnesium ribbon burns with a dazzling white flame and changes into a white powder.
  • Magnesium + Oxygen (heat ) -----> Magnesium oxide
  • Mg(s) + O2 (g) ∆ ---> MgO (s)

Reactant :- The substances that undergo chemical change in the reaction.

Product :- The new substance, formed during the reaction is the product.

Mg + O2 are reactant and MgO is product.

Writing chemical equation:- 

Mg + O2 ∆ --> MgO

CO (g) + 2H2(g) (340 atm) --- > CH3OH (l)

6CO2 (aq) + 6H2O (l) [sunlight and chlorophyll] ----> C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2(aq)

This is the reaction of photosynthesis.

States of chemicals (Reactants and Products) :-

aq -> aqueous solution (dissolved in water)

l -> liquid

s -> insoluble solid or precipitate

g -> gas


Balanced chemical equation:-

According to law of conservation of mass , mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction. That means total mass of elements presents in products of a  chemical reaction has to be equal to total mass  of elements present in reactants.

Number of atoms of each element remains the same before and after a chemical reaction.

Example :-

2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO

Zn + H2SO4 -----> ZnSO4 + H2

Balanced chemical equation:- Exercise:- Is the equation balanced?

YES

Balance a chemical equation:- rule:-

Displacement chemical reaction:

Mix the two solutions

Observations:-  NaCl precipitate out.

Reaction:- Na2SO4 (aq) + BaCl2 (aq) ---> BaSO4 (s) + 2NaCl(aq)

Combustion Chemical reaction:-

C +O2 ---> CO2 + H2

Precipitation chemical reaction:-

General form:-

Solution A + Solution B ---> Insoluble solid C + Solution D

Description:- In a precipitation reaction two solutions are mixed together to produce an insoluble solid which is called the precipitate.

It is a type of double displacement reaction:-

Solubility :- Two solutions can be:-

- Soluble ( Milk + water)

- Moderately Soluble (NaCl + H2O)

- Insoluble [ sand + water]

Solubility is a Physical property of a pure substance . many observations over time have led to some rules about solubility of certain salts. 

1. Solubility is dependent on temperature. The solubility of most, but not all salts increases as temperature increases.

Example:- Potassium nitrate has a solubility of 31.2g per 100g of water at 20°C.

A solution that contains the maximum amount of a dissolved solute is said to be saturated.

As it cools , the Solution can no longer hold as much salt so excess amount separates as solid.

If the solution is cooled slowly enough the solid separates as crystals. The process of recrystallization is used to purify substances.

Neutralisation (Acid - Base) chemical reaction :-

 General form:- Acid + Base --> salt + water.

Description:- Reactants are a base and an acid and water. The positive charge of the hydrogen ion of acid and negative charge of the hydroxyl group lose their electric charge and become covalent molecules of water.

It is a type of double displacement reaction generally.

Example:- HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O

Exothermic and endothermic chemical reaction:- 

Reactions in which heat is given out along with the products are called exothermic reactions.

Reactions in which energy is absorbed are known as endothermic reactions.

Example:- Mg  + O2 + heat---> MgO (endothermic reaction)

CaO + CO2 --> CaCO3 + heat (exothermic reaction)

Why is respiration considered as an exothermic reaction? Explain.

Because food we eat combines with oxygen present in atmosphere to produce energy and heat . Since heat is given out . So the reaction is exothermic.

Food + O2 --> energy + heat.

Redox reaction :- Oxidation and Reduction : Reaction that involves gain or loss of oxygen or hydrogen by substances is called redox reaction.

Oxidation is the gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen.

Reduction is the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.

2Cu + O2 + heat ---> 2CuO

Copper is oxidised

CuO + H2+ heat --> Cu + H2O 

Copper is reduced and hydrogen is oxidised.

Corrosion:- redox reaction in daily life.

When a metal is attacked by substances around it such as moisture, acid etc. It is said to corrode and the process is called corrosion. 

Example:- black coating on silver

Green coating on copper

Rusting of iron (4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3)

Methods to prevent corrosion:-

By applying paints

By oiling

By electroplating

Rancidification:- Redox reaction in daily life :- 

When fats and oils are oxidised, they become rancid and their smell and taste change.

Method to prevent rancidification:-

Keeping food in air tight containers help to slow down oxidation.

Chips manufacturers usually flush bags of chips with gas such as nitrogen to prevent the chips from getting oxidised.

By preserve it in fridge.
