NCERT Class 9 Science Lab Manual – Types of Reactions and Changes

NCERT Class 9 Science Lab Manual – Types of Reactions and Changes

Experiment

Aim
To carry out the following chemical reactions and classify them as physical or chemical changes.

  1. Iron with copper sulphate solution in water.
  2. Burning of magnesium ribbon in air.
  3. Zinc with dilute sulphuric acid.
  4. Heating of copper sulphate.
  5. Sodium sulphate with barium chloride in the form of their solutions in water.

Theory

  1. Physical Change: When there is no change in the composition of a substance and no change in chemical nature of the substance, such change is called as physical change.
  2. In physical change, the interconversion of state takes place. For example,
    NCERT Class 9 Science Lab Manual - Types of Reactions and Changes 1
  3. Chemical Change: It is a change which brings change in the chemical properties of matter and a new substance is obtained. For example, burning of oil, fuel.
  4. In a chemical change – heat is evolved or taken in, formation of bubbles, gas, fumes takes place, there is a change in colour of the reactants when they form a product.
    \(Reactants\longrightarrow Products\\ A+B\longrightarrow C(Chemical\quad reaction)\)

The chemical reactions are of four types:

  1. Combination reaction: Two elements/compounds combine to form a single product.
    \(A+B\longrightarrow C\\ 2Mg(s)+{ O }_{ 2 }(g)\longrightarrow 2MgO(s)\\ CaO(s)+{ H }_{ 2 }O(l)\longrightarrow Ca{ (OH) }_{ 2 }(aq)\)
  2. Decomposition reaction: When a compound decomposes/breaks due to energy, heat, light or electricity to form simpler substance.
    NCERT Class 9 Science Lab Manual - Types of Reactions and Changes 2
  3. Displacement reaction: It takes place when more reactive metal reacts with the salt of less reactive metal and displaces it to form a new compound.
    NCERT Class 9 Science Lab Manual - Types of Reactions and Changes 3
  4. Double displacement reaction: In this reaction when two salts are mixed together in solution form then exchange of ions takes place and a new product is obtained.
    E.g.

VIVA VOCE

Question 1:
Why is a chemical change called a chemical reaction?
Answer:
In chemical change, two or more substances react together to form a new product with new properties, so it is called a chemical reaction.

Question 2:
State four different types of chemical reactions.
Answer:
Combination reaction, decomposition reaction, displacement reaction and double displacement reaction.

Question 3:
Give two examples of combination reaction seen in daily life.
Answer:
Iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide and copper reacts with carbonates present in air to form copper carbonate.

Question 4:
Name the metal that is silver grey, brittle in nature, present in granules.
Answer:
Zinc.

Question 5:
Name the metal that is silvery white, present in ribbon form.
Answer:
Magnesium.

Question 6:
What would happen if you place zinc metal in copper sulphate solution?
Answer:
Zinc metal reacts with copper sulphate to form zinc sulphate, colourless solution and copper metal is displaced.

Question 7:
Give one example of a chemical reaction in which precipitate is formed.
Answer:
Sodium sulphate and barium chloride react together to form barium sulphate, which is white insoluble precipitate.

Question 8:
Give two physical properties of hydrogen gas.
Answer:
It is colourless, odourless and combustible gas.

Question 9:

Answer:
It is green in colour.

PRACTICAL BASED QUESTIONS 

Question 1:
Give one example/reaction which shows both physical change and chemical change.
Answer:
Burning of candle
Melting of wax \(\longrightarrow \)Physical change
Burning of wax\(\longrightarrow \) Chemical change

Question 2:
Why is burning of magnesium ribbon considered to be a chemical change?
Answer:
When magnesium ribbon is burnt, it reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, a completely new product with new properties.

Question 3:
What happens to blue colour copper sulphate when zinc is added to it?
Answer:
The blue colour fades and becomes colourless because zinc displaces copper ions from copper sulphate to form zinc sulphate solution.

Question 4:
When sodium sulphate reacts with barium chloride, white ppt. is formed. What is it due to?
Answer:
When sodium sulphate reacts with barium chloride an insoluble white precipitate (ppt.) of barium sulphate is formed.

Question 5:
When zinc reacts with sulphuric acid, what is formed and how do you test the same?
Answer:
When zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid, zinc sulphate solution is formed and hydrogen gas is released, it can be tested by bringing a burning matchstick near the evolving gas which will bum with a pop sound.

Question 6:
Give the test for H2 gas.
Answer:
Take a burning matchstick near the mouth of a test tube in which hydrogen gas is released, the matchstick burns with a pop sound.

Question 7:
What happens to the blue colour copper sulphate solution when you dip an iron nail into it?
Answer:
When iron nail is dipped into blue coloured copper sulphate solution, the blue colour changed to green as iron displaces copper ions and on the surface of iron, brown colour copper metal gets deposited.

Question 8:
Give two examples of decomposition reaction.
Answer:

  1. Silver bromide decomposes to form silver and bromine gas, when exposed to light.
  2. Lead nitrate on heating decomposes to form lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas.

Question 9:
Give one example of exothermic reaction.
Answer:
Zinc + dil. sulphuric acid reaction is highly exothermic.

Question 10:
What type of reaction is the rusting of iron?
Answer:
Rusting of iron is a chemical change showing combination reaction.

Question 11:
What happens when copper metal is dipped in iron sulphate solution?
Answer:
No change as copper is less reactive than iron and cannot displace it.

Question 12:
What is your observation when you bum magnesium ribbon in air?
Ans.
It catches fire, bums with dazzling white flame and forms white powdery mass of magnesium oxide.

Question 13:
What happens when crystals of copper sulphate are heated in a test tube?
Answer:
The blue coloured copper sulphate crystals on heating loses water and turns white.

Question 14:
Why do we mb magnesium ribbon with sand paper before burning it?
Answer:
Magnesium metal is reactive in nature, it forms a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface due to corrosion, hence to remove the impurities present on its surface we clean it with sand paper.

Question 15:
Give the chemical equation of double displacement reaction.
Answer:
\(N{ a }_{ 2 }{ SO }_{ 4 }(aq)+Ba{ Cl }_{ 2(aq) }\longrightarrow Ba{ SO }_{ 4 }(ppt)+2Nacl(aq)\)

Question 16:
Give the chemical equation to show displacement reaction.
Answer:
\(Fe(s)+CuS{ O }_{ 4 }(aq)\longrightarrow FeS{ O }_{ 4 }(aq)+Cu(s)\)

NCERT LAB MANUAL QUESTIONS

Question 1:
Why should magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning it in air?
Answer:
To remove the impurities from magnesium ribbon and use it in pure form. Magnesium has the tendency to form a layer of magnesium oxide on the strip.

Question 2:
Why does the red litmus paper turn blue when touched with aqueous solution of magnesium oxide?
Answer:
The aqueous solution of magnesium oxide is called magnesium hydroxide which is an alkali. The red litmus turns blue when it comes in contact with an alkali.

Question 3:
Is there a possibility of a compound other than MgO formed in the above reaction?
Answer:
If the ribbon is clean and the reaction takes place in controlled conditions then only MgO will be formed. But if the Mg ribbon is not pure or the air contains some other impurities then some other compound may also form.

Question 4:
Why is it suggested to wear dark coloured goggles while watching the burning of magnesium ribbon in air?
Answer:
The burning of magnesium ribbon produces white dazzling flame; to protect our eyes the dark coloured goggles are used.
