A CHEMICAL REACTION TAKES PLACE,whenever bonds between atoms are broken or made.In each case , atoms or groups of atoms rearrange , making new substances (products), from the original ones(reactants). Reaction happens naturally or can be made to happen ;they may take years or only an instant .A reaction usually involves a change in energy.In a burning reaction , for example , the making of new bonds between atoms release energy as heat and light.This type of reaction in which heat is given off,is an exothermic reaction .Many reactions , like burning is irreversible, but some can take place in either direction,and are said to reversible .
Reactions can be used to form solids from solutions ;in a double decomposition reaction , two compounds in solutions break down and reform into two substances , often created a precipitate(insoluble solid);In displacement an element (eg.copper)displaces another element (eg.silver) from a solution.The rate (speed) of reaction is determined by many factors such as temperature,and the size and shape of the reactants .To describe and keep track of reactions ,internationally recognized chemical symbols and equations are used
Reactions are also used in laboratory to identify matter .An experiment with candle wax , for example . demonstrates that it contains carbon and hydrogen.
SALT FORMATION (ACID ON MEAL)
Hydrochloric acid added to zinc produces zinc chloride and hydrogen.-Zn+2HCL- ZNCL2+H2.
DISPLACEMENT
Copper metal added to Silver nitrate solution produces Copper
nitrate and silver metal.
Cu +2AgNO3- Cu(NO3)2 +2Ag
FERMENTATION
Yeast convert sugar and warm water into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
BURNING MATTER
When lit , ammonium dichromate combines with Oxygen from air.Ammonium dichromate converts chromium oxide.Nitrogen monoxide(NO) and water vapor (H2O)
(NH4)2Cr2O7+O2=Cr2O3+4H2O+2NO.
