Notes of Ch 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations| Class 10th Science Introduction → Most of the substance around us undergoes various changes. Some of these changes are temporary with no new substance being formed. They are called physical changes. → In certain other changes the new substance formed in which the reactant or the parent loses its identity to form new substance called product. These changes are permanent changes as we won’t get the reactant back. Chemical Reaction → Chemical reaction is the process by which two or more substance react with each other to form new substance with different properties. → These are the following changes to determine that the chemical reaction has taken place: (i) Change in state (ii) Change in colour (iii) Evolution of gas (iv) Change in temperature Chemical Equation → A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and formulae, wherein the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side ...
