Chemical Reactions and Equations notes 2024-2025 10th class
Chapter 1: Chemical Reactions and Equations Welcome to the fascinating world of Chemical Reactions and Equations! In this chapter, we will dive into the fundamental processes that govern how substances interact and transform around us every day. What Are Chemical Reactions? Imagine this: you mix baking soda with vinegar and suddenly, fizz! That's a chemical reaction in action. Chemical reactions occur when substances (like baking soda and vinegar) undergo a transformation, resulting in the formation of new substances with different properties. Why Should You Care? Understanding chemical reactions is crucial because they explain so much of what happens in the world around us. From the rusting of iron to the combustion in engines, chemical reactions are the driving force behind countless natural and industrial processes. Balancing Act: Chemical Equations Think of chemical equations as recipes for reactions. They show us what goes into a reaction (reactants) and what comes out (prod...
