Class X Question 1: Chapter 1 – Chemical Reactions and Equations Science Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air? Answer Magnesium is very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper to remove this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed into air. Question

1. Everything is made of chemicals. You are made of chemicals. So is your dog. So is your desk. So is the sun. Drugs are chemicals. Food is made from chemicals. 2. Many of the changes you observe in the world around you are caused by chemical reactions. Examples include changing colors of leaves‚ cooking food and getting clean. 3. Knowing some chemistry can help you make day to day decisions that affect your life. Can I mix these household chemicals? What are safe mosquito repellents? Will

INTRODUCTION – OBJECTIVES In this first experiment‚ we will perform 8 chemical reactions and 1 flame test in order to determine 2 things : a) firstly‚ we can know whether a reaction occurred or not. To complete our mission‚ we need to observe carefully some signs of chemical reaction’s appearance such as the change in color of solution‚ precipitate’s existence‚ the release

Introduction: A chemical reaction involves the breaking and forming of bonds in order to create the necessary energy required to cause movement. Each reaction is catalyzed (an increase in rate because of a present catalyst) by a specific enzyme. Enzymes are able to denature proteins‚ meaning that a protein loses its original shape by uncoiling‚ giving it a random‚ unstructured shape. The pineapple plant contains bromelain which‚ because of its unique characteristics‚ keeps gelatin from thickening

Oscillating chemical reaction Aim: The overall reaction rate and concentrations of some reaction intermediates of certain chemical reactions oscillate‚ even in a homogeneous system. This phenomenon is commonly found in living organisms. These periodical variations occur when a feedback mechanism is available in which a product changes the reaction rate. In this experiment will produce oscillations in both time and space in the concentrations of cerium(IV) and cerium(III) in the BZ reaction. Use the

Observations of Chemical Changes Purpose/Hypothesis: To observe how acids react with bases and examine reactions of common household cleaners and the macroscopic changes these chemicals undergo. I expect for each solution to react differently when mixed with acids and bases. Procedure: I have a well-plate-96‚ a piece of white and black paper‚ and the chemicals from the Observation of Chemical Changes Experiment Bag. I used a different well for each combination of solutions. I placed two
