Study Notes

Chemical Reactions and Changes

  • Chemical reactions occur when the identity and nature of a substance change.
  • Daily life examples include milk spoiling, rust on iron, fermentation of grapes, cooking, digestion, and respiration.
  • It's essential to differentiate between physical changes (no new substance) and chemical changes (new substance formed).

Indicators of Chemical Reactions

  • The occurrence of a chemical reaction can be identified by:
    • Change in state (solid, liquid, gas).
    • Change in color.
    • Evolution of gas (bubbles).
    • Change in temperature (exothermic or endothermic reactions).

Activities Demonstrating Chemical Reactions

  • Activity 1.1: Burning Magnesium

    • A magnesium ribbon (3-4 cm) is cleaned and then burned to produce magnesium oxide, an observation of shiny combustion.
    • The reaction between magnesium and oxygen creates a white powder (magnesium oxide).
  • Activity 1.2: Lead Nitrate and Potassium Iodide

    • Mixing lead nitrate with potassium iodide in a test tube leads to the formation of a yellow precipitate, indicating a chemical reaction.
  • Activity 1.3: Zinc with Acid

    • Zinc granules reacting with dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid raises the temperature of the solution and produces hydrogen gas.

Chemical Equations

  • Chemical reactions can be represented in a concise manner using word equations.
  • For example, the conversion of magnesium and oxygen into magnesium oxide is represented as:
    • Word Equation: Magnesium + Oxygen → Magnesium Oxide
  • In chemical reactions, reactants are the substances initially involved, while products are the substances formed after the reaction.
