Definition: Chemical Change

A chemical change is a process in which the composition of matter changes, resulting in the formation of one or more new substances.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 10

Definition: Reactants

The substances taking part in chemical reaction are called reactants.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 10

Definition: Products

The substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction by formation of new bonds are called products.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 8

Types of Chemical Reaction:

Type of reaction Definition Equation
Combination Two or more elements or compounds combine to make a more complex substance. A + B = AB
Decomposition Compounds break down into simpler substances. AB = A + B
Replacement Occurs when one element replaces another in a compound AB + C = AC + B
Double replacement Occurs when different atoms in two different compounds trade places AB + CD = AC + BD

Experiment

1. Aim: To observe and differentiate between chemical and physical changes through various experiments.

2. Requirements

  • Apparatus: thermometer, evaporating dish, tripod stand, funnel, Bunsen burner.
  • Chemicals: limestone powder (CaCO₃), copper sulphate (CuSO₄), zinc dust (Zn), potassium chromate (K₂CrO₄), barium sulphate (BaSO₄), sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃), calcium chloride (CaCl₂), and phthalic anhydride.

3. Procedure

  • Heat limestone powder strongly in an evaporating dish over a high blue flame.
  • Add zinc dust into the copper sulphate solution and observe any changes.
  • Mix potassium chromate solution with barium sulphate solution and note the reaction.
  • Add sodium carbonate solution to calcium chloride solution and observe any precipitate formation.
  • Heat phthalic anhydride in an evaporating dish with an inverted funnel placed over it and observe changes.

4. Observation

Activity Colour Change (if present) Gas Released (Yes/No) Temperature Change (if present) Nature of Change (Chemical/Physical)
1 No Yes Yes Chemical
2 Yes No Yes Chemical
3 Yes No Yes Chemical
4 Yes No Yes Chemical
5 No No No Physical

5. Conclusion: The experiments show that chemical changes result in the formation of new substances with distinct properties, whereas physical changes are reversible and do not alter the composition of the substance.
