    Activity 1

    Observation: Magnesium ribbon burns with a dazzling white light and changes into a
    white powder. The white powder is magnesium oxide.
    Balanced chemical equation
    2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
    Type of chemical reaction
    Combination reaction
    Conclusion: It is clear that Mg burns and changes into a new substance of a new state,
    which is magnesium oxide (MgO).

    Activity 2
    Observation On mixing two solutions a yellow colour precipitate of lead iodide is
    formed.
    Balanced chemical equation
    Pb (NO3)2 (aq) + 2KI (aq) → PbI2 (s) + 2KNO3 (s)
    Type of chemical reaction
    double displacement reaction
    Conclusion: On mixing Pb(NO3)2 and KI, the yellow-coloured precipitate of PbI2 is
    obtained.

    Activity 3
    Observation
    The formation of bubbles and experiencing the change in temperature
    Balanced chemical equation
    Zn(s) + H2SO4 (aq) → ZnSO4 (aq) + H2(g) ↑
    Type of chemical reaction
    Double displacement reaction
    Conclusion: The temperature change observed in this activity demonstrates the concept
    of exothermic reactions, where energy is released in the form of heat.

    Activity 4
    Observation
    Calcium oxide and water combine vigorously to produce slaked lime (Calcium
    hydroxide), releasing a large amount of heat.It is accomplished by a hissing noise,
    bubbles, and calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) is formed.
    Balanced chemical equation
    CaO(s) + H2O(I) → Ca(OH)2(aq)
    Type of chemical reaction
    Exothermic reaction and combination reaction.
    Conclusion: Heat is evolved during the reaction hence; it is an exothermic
    reaction.Calcium hydroxide is formed by the combination of calcium oxide and water.
    Therefore, the reaction is a combination reaction.

    Activity 5
    Observation: Ferrous sulphate crystals lose water when heated and the colour of crystals
    changes.
    Ferrous sulphate crystals are green in colour and have 7 molecules of crystalline water.
    Balanced chemical equation
    FeSO4.7H2O(s) → FeSO4(s) + 7H2O(g)
    2FeSO4(s) → Fe2O3(s) + SO2(g) +SO3(g)
    Type of chemical reaction
    Thermal decomposition reaction
    Conclusion: When ferrous sulphate further decomposes, it gives a reddish-brown residue
    of ferric oxide and fumes of sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide evolve.

    Activity 6
    Observation On heating lead nitrate, reddish-brown fumes with a pungent smell are
    evolved and a yellow residue remains in the test tube.
    Balanced chemical equation
    2Pb(NO3)2 (s) → 2PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
    Type of chemical reaction
    Thermal decomposition reaction
    Conclusion: On the decomposition of lead nitrate, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas are
    evolved.

    Activity 7
    Observation
    Bubbles of gases appear above the electrodes in both the test tubes.
    Balanced chemical equation
    2H2O(I) → 2H2(g) + O2 (g)
    Type of chemical reaction
    Displacement reaction
    Conclusion: The bubbles produced by the passing current are hydrogen and oxygen gases
    which are formed by the decomposition of water on the passing electric current.

    Activity 8
    Observation When silver chloride is placed in the sunlight. Colour of silver chloride
    changes.
    Balanced chemical equation
    2AgCI (s) → 2Ag(s) + CI2 (g)
    Type of chemical reaction
    Photochemical decomposition reaction
    Conclusion: On the decomposition of silver chloride which is white in colour, it changes
    to grey.

    Activity 9
    Observation We find that the blue colour of the copper sulphate solution fades and
    changes to light green colour which is different from the colour of the copper sulphate
    solution in test tube A.
    Balanced chemical equation
    Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
    Type of chemical reaction
    Displacement reaction
    Conclusion: This activity shows the displacement of copper from copper sulphate by
    iron.

    Activity 10
    Observation: it is observed that an insoluble white solid substance is formed.
    Balanced chemical equation
    Na2SO4(aq) + BaCI2(aq) → BaSO4(s) + 2NaCI(aq)
    Type of chemical reaction
    Double displacement reaction
    Conclusion: The insoluble white substance formed is known as a precipitate. This is also
    known as Precipitation Reaction.

    Activity 11
    Observation On heating, a black coating is formed on the surface of copper.Balanced
    chemical equation
    2Cu + O2→2CuO
    Type of chemical reaction
    redox reaction
    Conclusion: In the above reaction, copper is oxidized to copper oxide, and oxygen is
    reduced to copper oxide. This is a redox reaction.
