RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations

Question 8.
What is chemical equation? Explain.
Answer:
In any chemical reaction the presentation of all reactants and products and their physical state in the form of symbols present, is called chemical equation. The description of a chemical reaction in a sentence form is quite long, so it can be written in a shorter form. The simplest way to do this, is to write it in the form of word equation.
Example:  Magnesium oxide is formed by the reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The word equation for this reaction would be.
RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 9

In this reaction, magnesium and oxygen are those substances that undergo chemical change and are called reactants. The new substance, magnesium oxide, formed during the reaction is called product.

Question 9.
How the chemical equation is written? Explain with example.
Answer:
Chemical equation can be written by two types:
(1) Word equation: In a word equation, formation of reactants from products are shown by an arrow between them. The reactants are written on the left hand side (LHS) with a plus sign (+) between them. Similarly, products are written on the right hand side (RHS) with a plus sign (+) between them. The arrowhead points towards the products, and shows the direction of the reaction.
RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 10

(2) Equation in the form of formulae:
Chemical equations become more concise and useful when we use chemical formulae instead of words. A chemical equation represents a chemical reaction.
Example: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)

Question 10.
What is oxidation? Explain with example.
Answer:
Oxidation: The chemical reaction in which a substance gains oxygen or losses hydrogen is called oxidation.
Example:
(i) 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
(ii) H2S + Cl2 → 2HCl + S
In the example (i) O2is gained by Mg, while in example (ii) H2S is losing H2.

Question 11.

RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations

Essay Type Questions:

Question 1.
How the chemical equation is balanced ? Explain the different steps of it with, examples.
Answer:
Balancing of chemical equation:
When the number of all the elements before and after the chemical reaction are same, means number of atoms of reactants and products are same, then this chemical equation is called balanced chemical equation.
A balanced chemical equation can be presented as
Zn + H2SO4 →  ZnSO4 + H2
In this equation the number of atoms of reactants are equal to the number of atoms of products so this equation is balanced. Mainly seven steps are involved to balance an equation.
Balancing of following equation occurs in the steps given below:
Fe + H2O →  Fe3O4 + H2
Step 1.
To balance a chemical equation, first draw the boxes around each formula.
RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 22

Step 2.
List the number of atoms of different elements present in the unbalanced equation.

Elements Number of atoms in reactants (LHS) Number of atoms in products (RHS)
Fe 1 3
H 2 2
O 1 4

Step 3.
Now for conveniency by select the element in reactant or product containing maximum number of atoms. On the basis of this we select the oxygen.
To balance the oxygen atoms:

Atoms of Oxygen In reactants In Products
(i) Initial
(ii) To balance
1 (in H2O) 1 x 4 4 (in Fe3O4)4

To equalise the number of atoms, we cannot alter the formulae of the compounds or elements involved in the reactions. So to balance oxygen atoms put coefficient ‘4’ as 4H2O. NOW the partly balanced equation becomes:
RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 23

Step 4.
Now to balance the hydrogen atoms make the number of molecules of hydrogen as four on the RHS.

Atoms of Hydrogen In reactants In products
(i)  Initial
(ii) To balance
8 (in 4H2O) 8 2 (in H2) 2 x 4

The Equation would be

RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 24
Step 5.
To balance the Fe we take three atoms of Fe on the LHS.
RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 25
Step 6.
In the end to check the balanced equation we count atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. The numbers of atoms of elements on both sides of this equation are equal.

RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 26

So this is balanced equation. This method of balancing chemical equations is called hit- and-trial method as we make trials to balance the equation by using the smallest whole number coefficient.

Step 7.
Writing symbols of physical states: In this step the physical states of the reactants and products are mentioned along with their chemical formulae. The gaseous, liquid, aqueous and solid states of reactants and products are represented by the notations (g), (l), (aq) and (s) respectively.
The balanced equation becomes:  3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) → Fe2O4(s) + 4H2(g)
The symbol (g) is used with H2O to indicate that in this reaction water is used in the form of steam.

Question 2.
Classify the chemical reactions in different types. Explain the combination and decomposition reactions with examples.
Answer:
Chemical reaction: In a chemical reaction new substances are formed by breaking and formation of bonds between atoms. Chemical reactions are mainly of following types:
(1) Combination reaction
(2) Decomposition reaction
(3) Displacement reaction
(4) Double displacement reaction
(5) Oxidation and reduction
(6) Precipitation reaction

(1) Combination reaction: A reaction in which a new substance (single product) is formed by the combination of two or more substances (reactants) is known as combination reaction.
Example: (i) Calcium oxide (quick – lime) reacts vigorously with water to produce slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) releasing a large amount of heat.
RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 27
(ii) Burning of coal
C(s) + O2 → CO2

(2) Decomposition reaction:  The reaction in which a single substance (reactant) decomposes to give two or more substances (Product), is called Decomposition reaction.
Example:
(i) On heating lead nitrate, lead oxide, NO2 and O2 are formed. In this reaction brown fumes are emitted due to NO2.

RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 32

(ii) Then fill the mug with water so that the electrodes are immersed. Add a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid to the water also.

(iii) After this take two calibrated test tubes filled with water and invert them over the two carbon electrodes. Switch on the current and leave undisturbed for some time.

(iv) We observe the formation of bubbles at both the electrodes. These bubbles displace water in the calibrated test tubes.

(v) Once the test tubes are filled with the respective gases, remove them carefully and test these gases one by one by bringing a burning candle close to the mouth of the test tubes.
Conclusion Water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen gas and these gases are filled in both test tubes.
RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 33

Question 5.
(a) Write the method of formation of slaked lime. Write the related chemical reaction and draw the labelled diagram.
(b) What is double displacement reaction ? Explain with example.
Answer:

(ii) Now when we touch the beaker then it is found that the temperature of beaker is changed and it becomes hot
RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 34
RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 35
(b) Reactions in which there is exchange of ions between the reactants are called double displacement reactions.
Example:  When solutions of sodium sulphate and Barium chloride are mixed then the following reaction takes place:
RBSE Class 10 Science Important Questions Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations 36
In this reaction, the sulphate ion of sodium sulphate is displaced with the chloride ion whereas the chloride ion of barium chloride is displaced with the sulphate ion. As a result of this barium sulphate and sodium chloride are obtained as products.
