Study Notes
Chemical Reaction
- Chemical Reaction: Transformation of one substance into another, e.g. rusting of iron, setting of milk into curd, digestion of food, respiration, etc.
- Characteristics of Chemical Reactions:
- Evolution of gas: e.g. Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
- Change in Colour: e.g. citric acid and potassium permanganate solution
- Change in state of substance: e.g. combustion of candle wax (solid → liquid → gas)
- Change in temperature: e.g. quick lime water to form slaked lime
- Formation of precipitate: e.g. sulphuric acid and barium chloride solution
Chemical Equation
- Chemical Equation: Representation of chemical reaction using symbols and formulae of substances
- Example: A + B → C + D (A and B are reactants, C and D are products)
- Types of Chemical Equations:
- Balanced Chemical Equation: Number of atoms of each element equal on both sides, e.g. Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
- Unbalanced Chemical Equation
