Define a chemical reaction . State four observations which help us to determine that a chemical reaction has taken place. Write one example of each observation with a balanced chemical equation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Process in which new substances with new properties are formed by the rearrangement of atoms is known as chemical reaction.
(i) Evolution of gas : The chemical reaction between zinc and dilute `H_(2)SO_(4)`
`Zn(S)+H_(2)SO_(4) (aq) rarr ZnSO_(4)(aq)+H_(2)(g)`
(ii) Change in colour : the chemical reaction between potassium iodide solution and lead nitrate solution.
` underset (("Colourless"))(Pb(NO_(3))_(2)(aq))+2Klrarr2KNO_(3)(aq)+ underset (("Yellow"))(PbI_(2)(s))`
(iii) Formation of precipitate : The chemical reaction between sulphuric and barium chloride solution.
`BaCl_(2)(aq)+H_(2)SO_(4)(aq)rarr2HCl(aq)+underset(("White precipitate"))(BaSO_(4)(S))`
(iv) Change in temperature : The chemical reaction between quick lime and water .
`underset (("Quicklime"))CaO(S)+H_(2)O(l)rarrCa(OH)_(2)(aq)+"Heat"`
