Chemical Reactions and Equations
Any process that involves the rearrangement of structure of the substance or conversion of reactants into products is defined as Chemical Reaction.
For a Chemical Reaction to occur, the change can be observed in the form of –
- Change in State: Melting of ice into water.
- Change in Colour: Iron rusting which has colour change from silver to reddish brown.
- Change in Temperature: There are two types of reaction i.e Exothermic and Endothermic Reaction.
Exothermic Reactions: Those reactions in which energy is released in the form of heat are called Exothermic Reactions.
Examples –
(1) All combustion reactions e.g.
CH4+ 2O2 —> CO2 + 2H2O + Heat
(2) Thermite reactions e.g.
2A1 + Fe2O3 —> 2Fe + Al2O3 + Heat
Combinations are generally exothermic in nature. The decomposition of organic matters into compost is an example of exothermic reaction.
Endothermic Reactions: Those reactions in which energy is absorbed are called Endothermic Reactions.
Examples –
also, the reaction of photosynthesis –
- Evolution of any gas: When Zinc reacts with sulphuric acid it gives hydrogen gas.
Zn + H2 SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
Formation of Precipitate: When a soluble carbonate reacts with Barium, Barium Carbonate precipitate can be observed.
Change in State
Some chemical reactions are characterised by a change in state.
- When wax is burned (in the form of wax candle,) then water and carbon dioxide are formed.
- Now, wax is a liquid whereas carbon dioxide is a gas. This means that during the combustion reaction of wax, the physical state changes from solid to liquid and gas.
Physical Change
- In this change identity of the substance remains same.
- For Example, Melting, Boiling etc.
Chemical Change
- The identity of the substances change
- Reactants are converted into substance due to formation or broken down of older bonds
Chemical Equation
The symbolic representation of chemical reaction using symbols and formulae is known as Chemical Equation. For this, reactants are written on the left hand side whereas products are written on the right.
Balanced Chemical Equation
A balanced chemical equation is the one where the number of atoms involved in reactants side is equal to number of atoms on product side.
Eq.1. Example of Balanced Chemical Equation
Steps to form Balanced Equation
To show how to balance the equation, the following equation is used-
Fe + H2O → Fe3O4 + H2
Step 1: First of all, draw the boxes around each formula as shown below-
Step 2: Find out the number of atoms of each element. For Example, on reactant side, 1 for Fe, 2 H, and 1 O and on product side we have, 3 for Fe, 4 for O and 2 for H.
Step 3: Start to balance the equation with the compound having maximum number of atoms. While balancing does not alter the formula of the compound.
Step 4: One by one balance each element on reactant and product side.
Step 5: After balancing number of atoms on both the side of the equation, finally check the correctness of the balanced equation.
Step 6: then write the symbols of the physical state of reactants and products as shown below-
3Fe(s) + 4H2O (g) → Fe3O4 (s) + 4H2 (g)
This above equation represents the balanced equation.
Balancing a Redox Reaction
The basic ionic form of the equation is-
Fe2+ + Cr2O72- → Fe3+ + Cr3+
Oxidation half reaction is-
Reduction half reaction is-
Use the reduction half method to balance the equation. Balance the atoms in each half of the reaction except H and O atoms.
Cr2O72- (aq) → 2 Cr3+(aq)
Add water molecules as the reaction is taking place in acidic solution. This is to balance the O atoms and hydrogen ions.
Cr2O72- (aq) + 14 H+(aq) → 2 Cr3+(aq) + 7H2O (I)
Then balance the charges in both half reactions.
Fe2+(aq) → Fe3+(aq) + e–
Cr2O72- (aq) + 14 H+ + 6e– → 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O
6 Fe2+(aq) → 6 Fe3+(aq) + 6e–
Two half of the equations are added to get the overall reaction
6Fe2+(aq) + Cr2O72-(aq) + 14H+(aq) → 6Fe3+(aq) + 2Cr3+(aq) + 7H2O (I)
Types of Chemical Reaction
- Combination Reaction is reaction when single product is formed from the combination of two or more reactants. For Example-
Eq.2. Example of Combination Reaction
Reactions can be exothermic as well as endothermic. Exothermic reaction release heats and raises the temperature of the surroundings. For Example, Respiration is an example of exothermic reaction.
Eq.3. Example of Exothermic Reaction
Endothermic reaction involved the absorption of the heat and thus it cools the surrounding. The decomposition of dead organic material is an endothermic reaction.
- Decomposition Reaction is type of reaction which involves breakdown of single reactant into simpler products. Decomposition of silver chloride into silver and chlorine in presence of sunlight is an example of decomposition reaction.
Eq.4. Example of Decomposition Reaction
- Displacement Reaction is a reaction in which more reactive element will displaces the less reactive element.
Eq. 5. Example of Displacement Reaction
- Double Displacement Reaction is a type of reaction in which cations and anions in the reactants switch the places to form new products.
Eq. 6. Example of Double Displacement Reaction
- Redox Reaction is also known as Oxidation-reduction Reaction. In this type of reaction transfer of electrons occurs between the two species. Oxidation is defined as addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen. Reduction is defined as removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen. Oxidizing agent is the one which gains the electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Reducing agent is oxidized in a chemical reaction and it loses the electrons. Fluorine is the strongest oxidizing agent. Formic acid is a reducing agent
Eq.7. Example of Redox Reaction
Corrosion
Metals are prone to corrosion. It is a slow conversion of metals into some undesirable compounds. This occur may be due to reaction with oxygen, gases, acids etc. When irons reacts with atmospheric oxygen and moisture, a red layer is formed on the surface of the iron, this process is known as Rusting.
Eq. 8. Equation for Iron Rusting
Rancidity
When food containing fats and oils are exposed to the atmosphere, the oxidation of fat and oil occurs, this is known as Rancidity.
Methods to Prevent Rancidity
- Store cooking oils from direct sunlight.
- Food should be placed at low temperature.
- By adding antioxidants food can be protected from rancidity.
- Chemical Reactions and Equations
- Minimize the use of salts in fried foods.

Crop : When plants of the same kind are grown and cultivated at one place on a large scale,
it is called a crop.In India, crops can be broadly categorised into two types based on seasons – Rabi and Kharif crops. Sowing of seeds at appropriate depths and distances gives good yield.
Good variety of seeds are sown after selection of healthy seeds.
Sowing is done by seed drills.
Soil needs replenishment and enrichment through the use of organic manure introduction of new crop varieties.
Basic practices of crop production:
(i) Preparation of Soil: One of the most important tasks in agriculture is to
turn the soil and loosen it.The process of loosening and turning of the soil is
called tilling or ploughing.(ii) Sowing: Sowing of seeds at appropriate depths and distances gives good yield.
Good variety of seeds is sown after selection of healthy seeds. Sowing is done by seed
drills.(iii) Adding Manure and Fertilisers Soil needs replenishment and enrichment through the use of organic manure and fertilisers.
Use of chemical fertilisers
fertilisers has increased tremendously with the introduction of new crop varieties.
Fertiliser: The inorganic compounds containing nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. They are made in the factories.
Example: ammonium sulphate, potash, etc.
Manure: A natural substance prepared from decomposition of plant and animal wastes (cow dung, animal bones, dead leaves, dead insects and vegetable wastes) by t(he action of microbes.
iv) Irrigation : Supply of water to crops at appropriate intervals is called
irrigation. Method of Irrigation:
(a)Tradition methods of Irrigation: Moat, Chain pump, Dheki, Rahat.(b) Modern methods of Irrigation: Sprinkler system, Drip
(v) Protection from Weeds: Weeding involves removal of unwanted and
uncultivated plants called weeds.(vi) Harvesting: Harvesting is the cutting of the mature crop manually or by
machines.(vii) Storage Proper storage of grains is necessary to protect them from pests
and microorganisms.Harvested food grains normally contain more moisture than
required for storage.Large scale of storage of grains is done in silos and granaries to
pest like rats and insects.Farmers store grains in jute bags or metallic bins.
Food is also obtained from animals for which animals are reared.

Linear Equations in One Variable
An algebraic equation is an equality involving variables. It says that the value of the expression on one side of the equality sign is equal to the value of the expression on the other side.
The equations we study in Classes VI, VII and VIII are linear equations in one variable. In such equations, the expressions which form the equation contain only one variable. Further, the equations are linear, i.e., the highest power of the variable appearing in the equation is 1.
A linear equation may have for its solution any rational number.
An equation may have linear expressions on both sides. Equations that we studied in Classes VI and VII had just a number on one side of the equation.
Just as numbers, variables can, also, be transposed from one side of the equation to the other.
Occasionally, the expressions forming equations have to be simplified before we can solve them by usual methods. Some equations may not even be linear to begin with, but they can be brought to a linear form by multiplying both sides of the equation by a suitable expression.
The utility of linear equations is in their diverse applications; different problems on numbers, ages, perimeters, combination of currency notes, and so on can be solved
using linear equations.

The main digestive glands which secrete digestive juices are:
- the salivary glands,
- the liver and
(iii) the pancreas.
The human digestive system consists of the alimentary canal and secretory glands.
It consists of:
- buccal cavity,
- oesophagus,
- stomach,
- small intestine,
- large intestine ending in rectum
- anus.
Animal nutrition includes nutrient requirement, mode of intake of food and its utilisation in the body.
The stomach wall and the wall of the small intestine also secrete digestive juices.
The modes of feeding vary in different organisms.
Nutrition is a complex process involving:
- ingestion,
- digestion,
- absorption,
- assimilation and
- egestion.
Digestion of carbohydrates, like starch, begins in the buccal cavity.
The digestion of protein starts in the stomach.
Bile secreted from the liver, the pancreatic juice from the pancreas and the digestive juice from the intestinal wall complete the digestion of all components of food in the small intestine.
The digested food is absorbed in the blood vessels from the small intestine.
The absorbed substances are transported to different parts of the body.
Water and some salts are absorbed from the undigested food in the large intestine.
The undigested and unabsorbed residues are expelled out of the body as faeces through the anus.
The grazing animals like cows, buffaloes and deer are known as ruminants.
They quickly ingest, swallow their leafy food and store it in the rumen.
Later, the food returns to the mouth and the animal chews it peacefully.
Amoeba ingests its food with the help of its false feet or pseudopodia.
The food is digested in the food vacuole.
It pushes out finger-like pseudopodia which engulf the prey.
