CHEMICAL REACTIONS & EQUATIONS

Chemical reactions

1. Chemical reaction-

Chemical reactions are the processes in which new substances are formed.

Example-

Magnesium + oxygen----> Magnesium oxide

The burning of magnesium in air to form magnesium oxide is an example of chemical reaction.

Types of chemical reactions-

1. Combination reactions

2. Decomposition reactions

3. Displacement reactions

4. Double displacement reactions

5. Oxidation and reduction reactions

Components of chemical reaction are-

1. Reactant

2. Product

Characteristics of chemical reaction-

1. Evolution of gas

2. Formation of a precipitate (ppt)

3. Change in colour

4. Change in temperature

5. Change in state
Chemical equations

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 a chemical equation.

Example-

Mg₃N₂ + 3H₂O ----> 3MgO + 2NH₃

Some chemical equations are given below-

1) 2Fe₂O₃ +3C----> 4Fe+3CO₂

2)H₂SO₄+CaCO₃----> CaSO₄+H₂CO₃

3) 2H₂+0₂----> 2H₂O

4) CH₃COOH+C₂H₅OH----> CH₃COOC₂H₅+H₂O

5) 1 AgNO₃ + 1 LiOH ----> 1 AgOH + 1 LiNO₃

6) CH₄+2O₂----> CO₂+2H₂O.

7) Sn+2H₂SO₄----> SnSO₄+2H₂O+SO₂

8) CuO+H₂SO₄----> CuSO₄+H₂

9) Mg₃N₂ + 3H₂O ----> 3MgO + 2NH₃

10) N₂ + O₂----> 2 NO

Periodic table

Periodic table ELEMENTS- Elements are pure from of matter that are made up of one type of atom. · DOBEREINER- Grouped all elements in three (triads). · NEWLAND- Observed that when elements are arranging in increasing order of their atomic mass. Every eighteen element beginning from any element resemble the first element in its physical and chemical properties. · DMITRI MENDLEVE- He is a Russian chemist gave the first periodic table of elements based on his law which states that “The properties of elements are the periodic functions of their atomic mass.” · Modern periodic table was given by HENERY MOSELEY. Periodic table- A tabular form of elements in group and periods highlighting the regular trends in...

Akhilesh yadav

Akhilesh Yadav, son of Mulayam Singh Yadav is a dynamic young leader of Samajwadi leader. In March 2012, at the age of 38 years, he became the youngest person to hold the post. Akhilesh Yadav is now the president of National President of Samajwadi Party. Before the elections there was tussle in the Yadav family while Shivpal Singh wanted to push his candidates, Akhilesh was adamant on finalizing the candidate list. After much bickering in the family he assumed the command of the Samajwadi Party by dislodging his father Mulayam Singh Yadav and sidelining his uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav. He went on to forge an alliance with the congress after securing the command of the party before the assembly elections of Uttar Pradesh and campaigned for the party. He harped upon the development and asked peo...

J.J Thomson

J.J. THOMSON J.J. Thomson was born on December 18, 1856, in Cheetham Hill, England, and went on to attend Trinity College at Cambridge, where he would come to head the Cavendish Laboratory. His research in cathode rays led to the discovery of the electron, and he pursued further innovations in atomic structure exploration. Thomson won the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physics, among many accolades. He died on August 30, 1940. In 1906, Thomson began studying positively charged ions, or positive rays. This led to one of his other famous discoveries in 1912, when he channeled a stream of ionized neon through a magnetic and an electric field and used deflection techniques to measure the charge to mass ratio. In doing so, he discovered that neon was composed of two different kinds of atoms, and proved the existence of isotopes in a stable element. This was the first use of mass spectrometry. Personal Life and Later Years Thomson married Rose Paget, one of his students, in 1890. They ...
