Chemical Reaction and Equation 1
Substances which take part in chemical reaction. New substances produced as a result of chemical
reaction
QUES Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air? To remove protective
layer of basic magnesium carbonate from the surface of magnesium ribbon. It is cleaned by
using sand paper. So that it burns properly.
CHEMICAL EQUATION
The method of representing a chemical reaction with the help of symbols and formulae of the
substances involved in it is known as chemical equation.
TYPES OF EQUATION
Balanced Unbalanced / skeletal
It has an equal number of atoms of different It has an unequal number of atoms of different
elements on the both sides. elements on the both sides.
Need for balancing - As per law of conservation of mass.
Write physical states like (s) (l) (g) (aq) aq = aqueous solution = water + solution
1. Combination reaction
Such a reaction in which a single product is formed from two or more reactants is called combination
reaction. For ex CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2
White washing

Ca(OH)2 + H2O → CaCO3 + H2O
Calcium carbonate
White shiny surface
Exothermic reaction Endothermic reaction
Those reactions in which heat is released are called Those reactions in which heat is absorbed are
exothermic reaction. called endothermic reaction.
All combustion and combination reaction are All decomposition reactions are endothermic
exothermic reaction. For ex reaction. For ex
Burning of natural gas Photosynthesis
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O Electrolysis of water
(Methane) CaCO3 + heat → CaO + O2
Respiration (breaking down of glucose)
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6O2 + 6H2O + energy
Glucose
Decompose of vegetable matter into compost.
3. Displacement reaction
Those reaction in which highly reactive element displace less reactive element is called
displacement reaction. FOR EX-
• CuSO4 + Zn → ZnSO4 + Cu
Blue colourless
• CuCl2 + Pb → PbCl2 + Cu
Green colourless
Substance which gets oxidised is the Substance which gets reduced is the OXIDISING AGENT.
REDUCING AGENT.

CuO + H2 → Cu + H2 ZnO + C → Zn + CO 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + Cl2 +H2O
CORROSION
When a metal is attacked by substances around it such as moisture, acids etc. it is said to
be corrode and this process is called corrosion.
Black coating silver
Rusting of iron is the most common form of corrosion.
Green coating copper
4Fe + 3O2 + 2xH2O → 2Fe2O3.xH2O
Reddish brown coating iron
Hydrated iron (iii) oxide rust
Corrosion causes damage to car bodies, bridges and to all objects made of metals.
RANCIDITY
It is the process in which oil and fat containing food items get oxidised and give
unpleasant smell and taste is called rancidity.
Food can be prevented (retarded) from rancidity by
