Chemical Reactions and Equations
What is a Chemical Reaction?




A Chemical Reaction is taken place when a Chemical Change occurs
...

For Example, Rusting of Iron, Digestion of food, Respiration, Fermentation of grapes
...

Change in color
...

Evolution of Gas
...


What is a Chemical Equation?


A Chemical Equation is a simplest form to write a Chemical Reaction in the form of word
Equation
...
H
...
Similarly,
products are written on R
...
S with a plus sign (+) between
...


Unbalanced Chemical Equation



If the number of atoms of each element is unequal at both sides, then it means mass is not same
on both side and the equation is unbalanced
...


Why to balance chemical equation?


To satisfy the Law of conservation of mass
...

For Example,





Formation of Slaked lime
CaO + H2O -> Ca[OH]2
Burning of Coal
Formation of water
...

For Example,
▪ Burning of Natural Gas
...


3) Decomposition Reaction
AB -> A + B



In this reaction single reactant break down to give two or more products
...

For Example,
▪ Fe + CuSO4 -> FeSO4 + Cu
▪ Zn + CuSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Cu
▪ Pb + CuCl2 -> PbCl2 + Cu

5) Double Displacement Reaction
AB + CD -> AD + CB


A reaction in which there is a mutual exchange of ions between reactants is called Double
Displacement Reaction
...

A reaction in which substance gains hydrogen and loses oxygen is called Reduction
...


Effects of Oxidation in everyday life
• Corrosion


When a metal gets attacked by a substance around it such as moisture, acid, etc
...


• Rancidity



When fats and oil get oxidized, they become rancid or their smell and taste change
...
