FAQs on Chemical Reactions and Equations - 2 Class 10 Worksheet Science

1. What is a chemical reaction?
Ans. A chemical reaction is a process that involves the transformation of one or more substances into different substances. It occurs when chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed. This process is accompanied by the rearrangement of atoms and the release or absorption of energy.
2. How can we represent a chemical reaction?
Ans. A chemical reaction can be represented using a chemical equation. In a chemical equation, the reactants are written on the left side of the equation, and the products are written on the right side. The reactants are separated from the products by an arrow, indicating the direction of the reaction. Coefficients are used to balance the equation, ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides.
3. What are the different types of chemical reactions?
Ans. There are several types of chemical reactions, including: 1. Combination or synthesis reactions: These reactions occur when two or more substances combine to form a new compound. 2. Decomposition reactions: These reactions involve the breakdown of a compound into simpler substances. 3. Displacement or substitution reactions: In these reactions, one element replaces another element in a compound. 4. Double displacement or metathesis reactions: These reactions involve the exchange of ions between two compounds, resulting in the formation of two new compounds. 5. Redox reactions: Also known as oxidation-reduction reactions, these involve the transfer of electrons between reactants, resulting in changes in their oxidation states.
4. How can you determine if a chemical reaction has occurred?
Ans. There are several signs that indicate a chemical reaction has occurred: 1. Formation of a precipitate: A solid substance that forms when two solutions are mixed together. 2. Evolution of gas: Production of bubbles or a change in the volume of a gas. 3. Change in color: A noticeable color change in the reactants or products. 4. Release or absorption of heat: A change in temperature, either an increase or decrease, during the reaction. 5. Formation of a new substance: The formation of a compound with different properties than the reactants.
5. Why is it important to balance chemical equations?
Ans. It is important to balance chemical equations because they must follow the law of conservation of mass. This law states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged. Balancing the equation ensures that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides, maintaining the overall mass of the system. Without balancing, the equation would not accurately represent the chemical reaction.
