Exercise -2 (C),  Chemical Changes and Reactions Solutions of Revised Concise Chemistry Selina Publishers Class-9   

Question 1

What is a chemical change? Give two examples of chemical change?

Answer 1 

A chemical change is a permanent change in which the chemical composition of a substance is changed and a new substance is formed.

Examples:

Heating of copper carbonate

Formation of curd from milk

Question 2

Why energy is involved in a chemical change?

Answer 2 

In every chemical change, change in energy is involved.

There is a difference between the chemical energies of the reactants and products. It involves the breaking up of chemical bonds between the atoms resulting in the absorption of energy in the form of heat and simultaneous formation of bonds with the release of energy.

Question 3 

What do you understand by ‘chemical reaction’?

Answer 3 

A chemical reaction is the process of breaking the chemical bonds of the reacting substances (reactants) and making new bonds to form new substances (products).

A chemical change or chemical reaction occurs when particles collide. Collisions occur when reactants are in close contact or by supply of energy.

C + O2 → CO2 + Heat

When hydrogen is burnt in oxygen, water is formed and heat is released.

2H2 + O 2H2O + Heat

Endothermic reaction:

A reaction in which heat is absorbed is called endothermic reaction.

Example:

When carbon is heated with sulphur at high temperature, liquid carbon disulphide is formed.
