Ncert class 10 - science - chapter 1 - chemical reactions and equations

This presentation contains the important points for NCERT - Class 10 - Science - Chapter 1 - Chemical Reactions and Equations.

1. Chemical Reactions and Equations Class X – Science Chapter 1 Chemistry

2. Chemical Reactions The breaking and making of bonds between different atoms to produce new substances is called Chemical Reaction . There are two type of changes namely physical and chemical changes. Melting of Ice ( Physical Change ) Rusting of Iron ( Chemical Change ) Formation of Curd ( Chemical change )

3. Physical change Vs Chemical Change Any change that involves chemical changes is called Chemical reaction . Physical Change Chemical Change Change is temporary Change is permanent No new substance is formed. There is change only in physical properties. New substances are formed with entirely different physical and chemical properties Change can be reversed by simple physical methods Change cannot be reversed by simple physical methods Energy may or may not be released or absorbed Energy is released or absorbed during chemical change

4. Chemical Equations The representation of chemical reactions in the form of formulae of reactants and products separated by an arrow mark is called Chemical Equation . Word Equation Magnesium + Oxygen Magnesium Oxide (Reactants) (Product) LHS RHS Chemical Equation Mg + O 2 MgO (Reactants) (Product) LHS RHS

5. Balanced Equation The same number of atoms of each element on the LHS (i.e. reactants) and RHS (i.e. products) of the equation. Chemical Equation – Example 1 Mg + O 2 MgO LHS RHS Mg  1 O  2 Mg  1 O  1 LHS RHS Mg  1 O  2 x 1 Mg  1 O  1 x 2 Mg + O 2 2 MgO

6. Balancing of Equations Mg + O 2 2MgO LHS RHS Mg  1 O  2 Mg  2 O  2 LHS RHS Mg  1 x 2 O  2 Mg  2 x 1 O  2 2 Mg + O 2 2MgO

7. Balancing of Equations Chemical Equation – Example 2 Fe + H 2 O Fe 3 O 4 + H 2 LHS RHS Fe  1 H  2 O  1 Fe  3 H  2 O  4 LHS RHS Fe  1 x 3 = 3 H  2 O  1 Fe  3 x 1 = 3 H  2 O  4 3 Fe + H 2 O Fe 3 O 4 + H 2

8. Balancing of Equations 3 Fe + H 2 O Fe 3 O 4 + H 2 LHS RHS Fe  3 H  8 O  4 Fe  3 H  2 O  4 LHS RHS Fe  3 H  2 O  1 x 4 = 4 Fe  3 H  2 O  4 x 1 = 4 3 Fe + 4 H 2 O Fe 3 O 4 + H 2

9. Balancing of Equations LHS RHS Fe  3 H  8 O  4 Fe  3 H  8 O  4 Thus the equation is balanced!!!! LHS RHS Fe  3 H  8 O  4 Fe  3 H  2 x 4 = 8 O  4 3 Fe + 4 H 2 O Fe 3 O 4 + 4 H 2

22. Exothermic Reaction Respiration is an exothermic process. The food that we intake is broken down into simpler substances such as carbohydrates, protein, fats during digestion. Carbohydrates thus absorbed are broken down to glucose. Glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body and provides energy. This reaction is called as respiration C 6 H 12 O 6 ( aq ) + 6O 2 ( aq ) CO 2 (g) + 2H 2 O (g) + Energy (Glucose) (Oxygen) (Carbon (Water) dioxide)

24. Rancidity The process of slow oxidation of oil and fat present in the food materials resulting in the change of smell and taste in them is called rancidity . Rancidity of food can be prevented By keeping food materials in air tight container. Refrigeration of cooked food at low temperature Packing of food items like potato chips in packs containing nitrogen gas instead of air. It prevents oils and fats from reacting with air. Avoid keeping the cooked food and food materials in direct contact with air. By adding anti-oxidants e.g. BHA ( Butrylated Hydroxy Anisole).

25. Corrosion The phenomenon in which metals are slowly eaten away by the reaction of air, water, chemicals present in the atmosphere is called Corrosion. E.g. Black coating on Silver and Green coating on Copper Rusting of Iron is due to corrosion. It can be prevented: By Applying paint on Iron articles, rusting (Corrosion) can be prevented. Paint does not allow oxygen and moisture to come in contact with the surface of Iron.
