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.

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.
