• Proposed Material: Will be available in Telegram or description

Chemical Reaction and Equation

Chemical Reaction

• Definition: Reaction involving chemical changes
• Example: Rusting

Chemical Equation

• Representation: Using symbols and formulas
• Parts:
  • Reactants: Substances on the left side
  • Products: Substances on the right side

Informative Equations

• For complete information:
  • Physical states (solid, liquid, gas, aqueous)
  • Energy released or absorbed
  • Present temperature and pressure

Important Terminology

Precipitate

• Definition: Insoluble solid that settles after a reaction

Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions

• Exothermic: Heat is released
• Endothermic: Heat is absorbed
• Example:
  • Digestion - Exothermic
  • Photosynthesis - Endothermic

Catalyst

• Definition: Influences the rate of reaction without itself being changed

Characteristics of Chemical Reactions

• Change in color
• Change in temperature
• Change in physical state
• Production or disappearance of odor
• Evolution of gases

Balancing Chemical Equations

• Importance: Conservation of mass
• Process: Equalizing molecules of Reactants and Products
• Example: Practice questions are provided

Types of Chemical Reactions

Combination Reaction

• Example: Mixing Calcium oxide with water

Decomposition Reaction

• Types: Thermal, Photolytic, Electrolytic

Displacement Reaction

• Single and Double Types
• Example: Displacement of a less active element by a more active one

Redox Reactions

• Definition: Involves both oxidation and reduction processes
• Example: CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O

Reducing and Oxidizing Agents

• Trick: The one that gets reduced is the oxidizing agent
• The one that gets oxidized is the reducing agent

Corrosion and Rancidity

Corrosion

• Meaning: Deterioration of metal
• Example: With silver, copper

Rancidity

• Meaning: Oxidation of fat-containing food products
• Prevention: Use of antioxidants
