Real LIfe Applications:
 No new chemical species forms in a physical change. Changing state of a pure substance
between solid, liquid, and gas phases of matter are all physical changes, since the identity of the
matter does not change,melting an ice cube,casting silver in a mold,breaking a bottle
 A new compound (product) results from a chemical change as the atoms rearrange them-
selves to form new chemical [Link] wood,souring milk,mixing acid and base,digesting
food,cooking an egg,heating sugar to form caramel,baking a cake
§§ Introduction:
In our daily life, we observe many changes a round us everything in this universe undergoes
a change. These changes may be observed by us at school, home, play ground, garden or any other
[Link] changes can bring about different kinds of alterations in things around us. Some of the
alterations brought about are permanent in Nature and other are temporary in Nature are permanent
in Nature and other are temporary in Nature.

Classification of changes: The changes taking place around us can be classified as under
1) Slow and fast changes 2) Reversible and irreversible changes
3) Desirable and undesirable changes 4) Periodic and non periodic changes
5) Physical and chemical changes.

VI - CLASS 1
CHEMISTRY CHANGES AROUND US
§§ Slow and fast changes:
Some changes are very fast. These changes occur with in seconds (or) minutes.
Examples:burning of a match stick, bursting of a cracker, spinning of a top etc are examples
of fast changes. Some changes take place very slowly. These changes may take hours, days, months
(or) years to complete.
Eg:Rusting of an iron.
The water changes into ice in a fridge in a few hours.
§§ Reversible and Irreversible changes:
A Change which can be reversed is called a reversible change. In this change, the prod-
ucts formed can be converted back into their original forms.
Examples:Water can be changed into ice by placing it in the freezing chamber of the fridge. The ice
so formed can be converted back into water by placing the ice outside the fridge.
A change which cannot be reversed is called an irreversible change. In this change, the
products cannot be converted back into their original form.
Examples:When a paper is burnt, it changes to ash and smoke. From ash and smoke, we cannot
get back paper. Thus, the change is irreversible.
 Activity
Take some dough and make a ball. Try to roll out a roti May be you are not happy with its shape and
wish to change it back into a ball of
dough again.

A ball of dough and a rolled out roti

Now, think about the three changes you observed .. What do they have in common? Was it possible
to get the balloon back to its original shape and size? Was the size of the paper same as before and
after making an aeroplane? Was it possible to get back the ball of dough again? What do you con-
clude? In each of the three activities, is it possible to get back to the material with which we started
our activity? If the answer is yes, it means that the changes occurring in these activities can be
reversed. Now, let us repeat the same
activities with a difference.

ACTIVITY
[Link] CHANGE CAN BE REVERSED
1 Raw egg to boiled egg Yes/No
2 Batter to idli
3 Wet clothes to dry clothes
4 Woollen yarn to knitted sweater
5 Grain to its flour
6 Cold milk to hot milk
7 Straight string to coil String
8 Bud to flower
9 Solid ice cream to molten ice cream
10 Stretched rubber band to its normal size
§§ Desirable and undesirable changes :
A change brought about by a person (or) the nature, which is useful, is called a desirable
change.
Examples:
1) Formation of curd from milk is a desirable change. It is because curd is more easily digest-
ible as compared to milk.
2) Melting of snow on the mountains.
3) Change of weather from winter to summer is a desirable change.
§§ Undesirable change:
A change brought about by a person (or) the nature, such that it has harmful effects is called
an undesirable change.
Examples:Food turning bad in summer is an undesirable change.
1) Breaking of glass ware/glass article is an undesirable change.
2) Rusting of articles of iron is an undesirable change.
§§ Periodic and non periodic changes:
Periodic Changes: The changes which occur again and again, after fixed intervals of time, are
called periodic changes.
Examples:Swinging of a clock pendulum is a periodic change.
1) Phases of moon is a periodic changes
2) Change of seasons is a periodic change.
3) High and low tides at sea is a periodic change.
4) Beating of heart is a periodic change.
Non Periodic changes:The changes which do not repeat themselves at regular intervals of time,
are called non periodic changes.
Examples:
1) Earth quakes are non periodic changes.

VI - CLASS 3
CHEMISTRY CHANGES AROUND US
2) Land slides during rainy season are non-periodic changes.
3) Falling of leaves from a tree is a non - periodic change.
4) Rusting of iron articles is non periodic changes.
§§ Physical and chemical changes:
All substances around us undergo changes. In some cases, the changes are small and
difficult to defect. In other cases, the changes are obvious and easy to defect. These changes gen-
erally get accerelated if we heat the substances.
Most of these changes can be classified under two headings.
a) Physical change b) Chemical Change
Physical changes are generally temporary in nature and no new substances are formed.
b) Chemical changes are generally permanant in and new substances are which have en-
tirely new properties.

¶¶ Def of Physical Change: A physical change is one that changes the shape ,size,physicalstate,and
appearance of a substance, but not its chemical composition
¶¶ Characteristics of physical change :
1) No new substances are formed during physical change.
2) Physical change is temporary and can be easily reversible
3) There is no change in weight during physical change.
4) Only a little heat is absorbed (or) given off during a physical change.
5)There is usually no loss or gain of energy during a physical change
¶¶ Every day examples of physical changes:
Some of the very common examples of physical changes
1) Melting of ice (or) wax (or) butter (or) ghee.
2) Freezing of water to ice (or) solidification of liquid wax to solid wax.
3)sublimation of iodine or camphor
4) magnetisation of iron
5) breaking of a glass
6) Crystallisation of salts or sugar from their solutions
7) Changes of colour due to heat as in case of Zinc oxide (Zno) (or) lead monoxide.
§§ Chemical Change: .
Definition:A change which alters the specific properties of a substance by bringing about a change
in its molecular composition, followed by a change in its state is called chemical change.
¶¶ Characteristics of a chemical change:
1) When a chemical change occurs new substances, with entirely new properties are
VI - CLASS 4
CHEMISTRY CHANGES AROUND US
formed.
2) Chemical change is permanant change,i.e it cannot be easily reversed
3) There is usually a change in weight or mass during chemical reaction
4) Lot of heat is usually given off (or) absorbed during a chemical changes.
¶¶ Every day examples of chemical changes.
1) Cooking of food
2) Food turning bad after a few days.
3) Curdling of milk
4) Germination of seeds
5) Digestion of food with in our bodies
6) Fermentation of sugar solution to alcohol.
7) Rusting of Iron.
¶¶ Differences between physical change and chemical change.
Physical Change Chemical Change
1. The Change takes place only in 1. The Change takes place
in state, color, texture, color, texture etc., along with
However, composition remains the same. the change in composition.
2. Specific properties of the substance 2. Specific properties of
do not change substancechange completely.
3. No new substances are produced. 3. New substances, with new
chemical properties are produced.
4. There is no net absorption (or) release 4. There is always net
absorbtion (or) of energy
release of energy.
5. It is a temporary change and can be reversed. 5. It is a permanent change
and cannot be reversed.

§§ Chemical Equation:
Definition: The chemical equation is a statement that describes a chemical
change in terms of symbols and formulae.
H2O + O2  2H2O
1. a) Reactants: The substances which take part in a chemical reation are called
reactants. The reactants are always written on the left hand side of a chemical equation.
(b) Products: The substances formed, as a result of chemical change are called products.
The products are always written on the right hand side of a chemical equatio.
2. A chemical equation consists of formulae of reactants connected by a (+) plus sign and an
arrow , followed by the formulae of products connected by (+) plus sign.
¶¶ Information convayed by eqation:
[Link] shows the reactants which enter into areaction and the products which are formed by the
reaction.
[Link] amounts of each substance used and substants produced.
¶¶ Two important principles to remember:
[Link] chemical compound has a formula which cannot be altered
2.A chemical reaction must account for evary atom that is used .This is an application of the
law of conservation of Matter which state that in a chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor
destroyed
¶¶ Some things to remember about writing eqations:
1. The di atomic molecules are always written H2,N2,O2,F2,Cl2,Br2,I2
2. The sign( ) means "yeilds" and shows the direction of the reaction .
3. A small delta(  ) , above the arrow shows that heat has been added.
4. A double arrow , shows that the reaction is reversible and can go in both directions.

§§ Explanation of Chemical equation :
Like symbols and formulae, chemical equation conveys both qualitative and quantitative
meanings.
1. The equation below can be interpreted qualitatively, by saying that hydrogen reacts with
oxygen to form water.
2H2O + O2  2H2O
Hydrogen oxygen Water.
2. Quantitatively, the equation has number of meanings
(a) Two molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of oxygen to form two molecules of
water.
(b) It states that two volumes of hydrogen will completely react with one volume of oxygen to
form two volumes of water.
What is a balanced chemical equation ?
(a) Sodium nitrate decomposes on heating and forms sodium nitrite and oxygen.
Writing the symbols and formulae of reactants and products, the equation can be represented as
shown below.

NaNO3  NaNO2  O2
sodium nitrate sodium nitrite oxygen
However, the given equation is not a correct equation, because the total number of oxygen
atoms on the reaction side is 3, where as on the products side is 4. Such type of equation is called
unbalanced equation.
However, if we write the above equation as shown below, the number of atoms on each side
i.e, reactants and products is same.

2 NaNO3  2 NaNO2  O2
In the above equation, there are 2 sodium atoms, 2 nitrogen atoms and 6 oxygen
atoms on each side. Such equation is called abalanced equation.
§§ Balanced equation :
An equation in which the number of each atom of an element on reactants side is equal to the
number of each atom of an element on product side, is called balanced equation.
Following points necessary before one starts writing a balanced equation.
[Link] (or) not reaction takes place between two (or) more reactants.
2. One must know all the products formed during the chemical reaction
3. One must know the correct symbols and formulae of the reactants and products.
How to balance a chemical equation
Example: Ferric hydroxide reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to form ferric sulphate
And [Link] reaction can be written in the form of word equation as
Ferric hydroxide + Sulphuric acid(dil)----------> Ferric sulphate + water
counting the number of various atoms in reactants and products.

Iron atoms sulphur atoms Hydrogen atoms oxygenatoms
in reactants 1 1 5 7
in products 2 3 2 13
¶¶ Balancing iron atoms : As the number of atoms of iron on the products side is 2, therefore,
in order to make equal number of iron, we will multiply Fe(OH)3 with numeral 2.
2 FeOH 3  H 2 SO4 dil   Fe2 SO4 3  H 2O
¶¶ Balancing sulphur atoms : Sulphur atoms are 3 towards the products side and one
towards the reactants side Thus, in order to equalise sulphur atoms, we will multiply H2SO4 with
numeral 3.
2 FeOH 3  3H 2 SO4  Fe2 SO4 3  H 2O
¶¶ Balancing hydrogen atoms: Hydrogen atoms towards reactants side are 12(6 in 2Fe(OH)3
and 6 in 3H2SO4). However, hydrogen atoms towards the products side are 2 in H2O. Thus, in order
to equalise hydrogen atoms, the H2O on the products side should be multiplied by numeral 6.
2 FeOH 3  3H 2 SO4  Fe2 SO4   6 H 2O
¶¶ Balancing oxygen atoms :Oxygen atoms towards the side of reactants are 18 (6 in 2
Fe(OH)3 and 12 in H2SO4).Oxygen atoms towards the products side are 18 (12 in Fe2(SO4)3 and 6 in
6H2O). Thus, oxygen atoms are equal on the sides of reactants and products.
The whole balanced equation can be written as
2 FeOH 3  3H 2 SO4  Fe2 SO4 3  6 H 2O .
