The Effect of Oxidation-Reduction in Daily Life Corrosion Many metals are chemically active elements and get easily affected by substances like moisture, air, acids, etc and undergo Oxidation, Reduction in Daily Life. Corrosion – The process of slow conversion of metals into their undesirable compounds due to their reaction with oxygen, water, acids, gases etc. present in the atmosphere is called corrosion. Rusting of Iron: We know iron articles that are shiny when new and gets coated with a reddish-brown powder when left for some time this process is called Rusting of Iron. Chemically, Rust is a hydrated ferric oxide (Fe2O3.xH2O) Advantages of Corrosion:…

Chemistry Balancing Chemical Equations Practice Balanced Equation A balanced equation is one in which the number of atoms on the reactant and product sides is equal.  Or A number of atoms of an element on the reactant side = number of atoms of that element on the product side. The simple form of representation of a chemical reaction in words is known as a word equation. Magnesium    +     Oxygen    ———–> Magnesium Oxide       Representation of a chemical reaction with the help of chemical formula is called a chemical equation.    2Mg + O2→  2MgO             Chemistry Balancing Chemical…

Chemical Reactions And Equations Notes Physical Change  Change in physical properties.  Melting  Boiling Condensation Note- No change occurs in the identity of the substance Chemical Change Atoms in the reactants are rearranged to form one or more different substances. Old bonds are broken, new bonds are formed. Reactants lose their properties to form products of different properties.  Examples – Cooking of food Rusting of iron Heating of Lead nitrate Souring of milk Ripening of fruit. Rusting of iron is a chemical change because  A new substance iron oxide is formed. The change is permanent; the article has got a rust layer (which may only peal off).  There is an increase in mass when rust forms. An energy change…
