Chapter 01: Chemical Reactions and Equations

Chapter Map:

Introduction: Chemical reactions are taking place very frequently in our day to day life. E.g. mangoes changing

their colour from green to yellow (broadly ripening of all fruit), milk left at room temperature during summer (it curdles) an iron nail or tawa/ pan exposed to humid air (rusts, oxidizes) grapes fermenting, food being cooked and digested, respiration of living organisms etc.

In all the above examples the characteristics of all the substances taking part in the reaction (physical and chemical) have changed along with their identity. When their physical form changes we say that a physical reaction has taken place. However when their chemical nature/ properties changes and a new substance/s are formed we say that a chemical reaction has taken place.

When a magnesium ribbon is burnt in oxygen, it gets converted to magnesium oxide. This is a word statement. However, it can be written as a chemical equation as 2Mg + O2 2MgO.

Chemical Equations: Observations to determine whether a chemical reaction has taken place. When a chemical

reaction takes place we observe the following: Change in state of reactants Change in colour of reactants Evolution of a gas as a product Change in temperature of the entire reaction.

The word-equation for the reaction when Magnesium reacts with oxygen to give us Magnesium oxide would be Magnesium + Oxygen Magnesium oxide

The substances that undergo chemical change in the above reaction i.e. magnesium and oxygen, are the reactants. The new substance, magnesium oxide, formed during the reaction is the product.

What is a word-equation? A chemical reaction written in words showing change of reactants to products by an arrow

placed between them is called a word equation. The reactants are written on the left-hand side (LHS) with a plus sign (+) between them if they are more than one. Similarly, products are written on the right-hand side (RHS) with a plus sign (+) between them if they are more than one. The arrowhead points towards the products, and shows the direction of the reaction.

Writing a Chemical Equation: A chemical equation represents a chemical reaction and is written using symbols for element

and formulae for compounds. The reaction of magnesium with oxygen to form magnesium oxide can be written as

2Mg + O2 2MgO The number of atoms of each element on the LHS and RHS of the arrow must be the same on

both the sides. If not, then the equation is unbalanced as the mass of the elements is not the same on both sides of the equation.

Balancing Chemical Equations: The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a

chemical reaction. That is, the total mass of the elements present in the products of a chemical reaction has to be equal to the total mass of the elements present in the reactants. The number of atoms of each element remains the same, before and after a chemical reaction. Hence, we need to balance a chemical equation. The wordequation for the reaction of zinc with sulphuric acid is Zinc + Sulphuric acid Zinc sulphate + Hydrogen

The above word-equation may be represented by the following chemical equation, Zn + H2SO4 ZnSO4 + H2

Let us count the number of atoms of different elements on both sides of the arrow.

Element Number of atoms in reactants (LHS) Number of atoms in

products (RHS) Zn 1 1 H 2 2 S 1 1 O 4 4

As the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow. The above equation is a balanced chemical equation. Let us try to balance the following chemical equation,

Fe + H2O Fe3O4 + H2 Step I: List the number of atoms of different elements present in the unbalanced equation

Element Number of atoms in reactants (LHS) Number of atoms in

products (RHS) Fe 1 3 H 2 2 O 1 4



Step II: Start balancing with the compound that contains the maximum number of atoms. It may be a reactant or a product. We select Fe3O4 and the element oxygen in it. There are four oxygen atoms on the RHS and only one on the LHS.

To balance the oxygen atoms: Atoms of oxygen In reactants In products

Initial 1(in H2O) 4 (in Fe3O4) To balance 1 4 4

To equalise the number of atoms, we cannot alter the formulae of the compounds or elements involved in the reactions. For example, to balance oxygen atoms we can put coefficient 4 as 4H2O and not H2O4 or (H2O)4. Now the partly balanced equation becomes: Fe + 4H2O Fe3O4 + H2 [partly balanced equation]

Step III: Fe and H atoms are still not balanced. Let us balance hydrogen atoms in the partly balanced equation. To equalise the number of H atoms, make the number of molecules of hydrogen as four on the RHS.

Atoms of hydrogen In reactants In products Initial 8(in 4 H2O) 2(in H2) To balance 8 2 4

The equation would be, Fe + 4 H2O Fe3O4 + 4 H2 [partly balanced equation]

Step IV: Now balance Fe in the equation. Atoms of iron In reactants In products

Initial 1 (in Fe) 3(in Fe3O4) To balance 1 3 3

To equalise Fe, we take three atoms of Fe on the LHS. 3Fe + 4H2O Fe3O4 + 4 H2 [balanced equation]

The number of atoms of elements on both sides of the equation are equal. This equation is now balanced. This method of balancing chemical equations is called hit-and-trial method as we make trials to balance the equation by using the smallest whole number coefficient.

Step V: Finally, to check the correctness of the balanced equation, we count atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.

3Fe + 4H2O Fe3O4 + 4H2. Step VI: Writing Symbols of Physical States: To make a chemical equation more

informative, the physical states of the reactants and products are mentioned along with their chemical formulae. The gaseous, liquid, aqueous and solid states of reactants and products are represented by the notations (g), (l), (aq) and (s) respectively. The word aqueous (aq) is written if the reactant or product is present as a solution in water. The balanced equation above becomes

3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) Fe3O4(s) + 4H2(g) Sometimes the reaction conditions, such as temperature, pressure, catalyst etc., for the

reaction are indicated above and/or below the arrow in the equation. For example:

CO(g) + 2H2(g) atm340 CH3OH(l)

6CO2(aq) + 6H2O(l) lChlorophyl

Sunlight C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(aq) (Glucose)

Types of Chemical Reactions: We have learnt in Class IX that during chemical reactions atoms of one element do not change

into those of another element. Nor do atoms disappear from the mixture or appear from elsewhere, chemical reactions involve the breaking and making of bonds between atoms to produce new substances.

Chemical change or chemical reaction is always associated with change in energy. In a reaction where a large amount of heat is evolved the reaction mixture is warm. Reactions in

which heat is released along with the formation of products are called exothermic chemical reactions.

Examples of exothermic reactions are: Burning of natural gas, CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) + heat Respiration is an exothermic process.

We all know that we need energy to stay alive and work. We get this energy from the food we eat. During digestion, food is broken down into simpler substances.

For example, rice, potatoes and bread contain carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are broken down to form glucose. This glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body and provides energy. The special name of this reaction is respiration.

C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(aq) 6CO2(aq) + 6H2O(l) + energy (Glucose)

The decomposition of vegetable matter into compost is also an example of an exothermic reaction.

Reactions in which energy is absorbed are known as endothermic reactions. Examples of endothermic reactions are: Reaction of barium hydroxide with ammonium chloride to give barium chloride and ammonium

hydroxide. Calcium carbonate on heating breaks up into calcium oxide and carbon dioxid

Combination Reaction: Calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to produce slaked lime (calcium hydroxide)

releasing a large amount of heat. CaO(s) + H2O(l) Ca(OH)2(aq)

(Quick lime) (Slaked lime)

In this reaction, calcium oxide and water combine to form a single product, calcium hydroxide. Such a reaction in which a single product is formed from two or more reactants is known as a combination reaction. Some more examples of combination reactions are: Burning of coal, C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g) Formation of water from H2(g) and O2(g); 2H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(l)

Decomposition Reaction: The decomposition reactions require energy either in the form of heat, light or electricity for

breaking down the reactants. Splitting of the compounds by heat energy is called thermal decomposition.

2FeSO4(s) Heat Fe2O3(s) + SO2(g) + SO3(g) (Ferrous sulphate) (Ferric oxide) In this reaction you can observe that a single reactant breaks down to give simpler

products. This is a decomposition reaction. Ferrous sulphate crystals (FeSO47H2O) lose



water when heated and the colour of the crystals changes. It then decomposes to ferric oxide (Fe2O3), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and sulphur trioxide (SO3). Ferric oxide is a solid, while SO2 and SO3 are gases.

Decomposition of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide on heating is an important decomposition reaction

CaCO3(s) Heat CaO(s) + CO2(g) (Limestone) (Quick lime)

Another example of a thermal decomposition reaction is

2Pb(NO3)2(s) Heat 2PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g) (Lead nitrate) (Lead oxide) (Nitrogen oxide) (Oxygen)

Splitting of a compound by light energy is called photochemical reaction. White silver chloride turns grey in sunlight. This is due to the decomposition of silver

chloride into silver and chlorine by light.

2AgCl(s) Sunlight 2Ag(s) + Cl2(g) Silver bromide also behaves in the same way.

2AgBr Sunlight 2Ag(s) + Br2(g) The above reactions are used in black and white photography.

Decomposition brought about by electrical energy is known as electrolytic decomposition or electrolysis.

2H2O(l) currentelectric 2H2 + O2 (acidified water)

Displacement Reaction: Consider the reaction, Fe + CuSO4 FeSO4 + Cu The iron nail become brownish in colour and the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades In this reaction, iron has displaced or removed another element copper, from copper sulphate

solution. This reaction is known as a displacement reaction. Other examples of displacement reactions are

Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s) (Copper sulphate) (Zinc sulphate)

Pb(s) + CuCl2(aq) PbCl2(aq) + Cu(s) (Copper chloride) (Lead chloride)

As zinc and lead are more reactive elements than copper. They displace copper from its compounds.

A chemical reaction in which less reactive atom or group of atoms is displaced by another more reactive atom or group of atoms to form a new substance is called a displacement reaction.

Double Displacement Reaction: In the reaction below

Na2SO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2NaCl(aq) (Sodium sulphate) (Barium chloride) (Barium sulphate) (insoluble) (Sodium chloride) (soluble)

A white substance, which is insoluble in water, is formed. This insoluble substance formed is known as a precipitate. Any reaction that produces a precipitate can be called a precipitation reaction. A double displacement reaction always produces a precipitate.

The white precipitate of BaSO4 is formed by the reaction of SO 24 and Ba2+. The other product

formed is sodium chloride which remains in the solution (soluble)

6


A chemical reaction in which the cations of two compounds mutually exchange places to form two new compounds one of which is a precipitate is called a double displacement reaction.

Oxidation and Reduction Reactions: In this reaction, 2Cu + O2 Heat 2CuO The surface of copper powder becomes coated with black copper (II) oxide. This is because

oxygen is added to copper and copper oxide is formed. If hydrogen gas is passed over this heated material (CuO), the black coating on the surface turns brown as the reverse reaction takes place and copper is obtained.

CuO + H2 Heat Cu + H2O If a substance gains oxygen during a reaction, it is said to be oxidised. If a substance loses

oxygen during a reaction, it is said to be reduced. During the above reaction the copper(II) oxide is losing oxygen and is being reduced. The hydrogen is gaining oxygen and is being oxidised. In other words, one reactant gets oxidised while the other gets reduced during a reaction. Such reactions are called oxidation-reduction reactions or redox reactions.

Some other examples of redox reactions are: i) ii)

In the first reaction carbon is oxidised to CO and ZnO is reduced to Zn. In the second reaction HCl is oxidised to Cl2 whereas MnO2 is reduced to MnCl2. From the above examples we can say that if a substance gains oxygen or loses hydrogen during a reaction, it is oxidised. If a substance loses oxygen or gains hydrogen during a reaction, it is reduced.

Oxidation reaction in everyday life: Iron articles are shiny when new, but get coated with a reddish brown powder when left for

some time. This process is commonly known as rusting of iron. Some other metals also get tarnished in this manner.

When a metal is attacked by substances around it such as moisture, acids, etc., it is said to corrode and this process is called corrosion.

The black coating on silver and the green coating on copper are other examples of corrosion.

Corrosion causes damage to car bodies, bridges, iron railings, ships and to all objects made of metals, especially those of iron. Corrosion of iron is a serious problem. Every year an enormous amount of money is spent to replace damaged iron.

When fats and oils are oxidised, they become rancid and their smell and taste changes. Usually substances which prevent oxidation (antioxidants) are added to foods containing fats and oils. Keeping food in air tight containers helps to slow down oxidation.

that takes place is

2Pb(NO3)2(s) Heat 2PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g) (Lead nitrate) (Lead oxide) (Nitrogen dioxide) (Oxygen) Activity 1.7 (Experiment): Aim: To show that water is a compound

containing two atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen

Apparatus: Plastic mug, rubber stoppers, carbon electrodes, 6 volt battery, water, dilute sulphuric acid, burning candle

Procedure: Take a plastic mug. Drill two holes at its base and fit rubber stoppers in these holes. Insert carbon electrodes in these rubber stoppers as shown in fig then connect these electrodes to a 6 volt battery. Fill the mug with water such that the electrodes are immersed. Add a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid to the water. Take two test tubes filled with water and invert them over the two carbon electrodes. Switch on the current and leave the apparatus undisturbed for some time. Observe the formation of bubbles at both the electrodes. These bubbles displace water in the test tubes. The volume of the gas collected is not the same in both the test tubes. Once the test tubes are filled with the respective gases, remove them carefully. Test these gases one by one by bringing a burning candle close to the mouth of the test tubes.

Observation: We observe the formation of bubbles at both the electrodes. These bubbles displace water in the test tubes. The volume in one test tube is twice that in the other test tube. The test tube containing hydrogen gas has double the volume of the test tube containing oxygen gas. Hydrogen gas burns with a light blue flame with a pop sound.

Activity 1.8 (Experiment): Aim: To show how silver chloride is affected by sunlight Apparatus: silver chloride and a china dish. Procedure: Place this china dish containing silver chloride in

sunlight for some time. Observe the colour of the silver chloride after some time.

Observation: White silver chloride turns grey in sunlight. Conclusion: This is due to the decomposition of silver chloride into silver and chlorine by light 2AgCl(s) Sunlight 2Ag(s) + Cl2(g) Activity 1.9 (Experiment): Aim: To show displacement reaction Apparatus: two iron nails, sand paper, copper sulphate solution, thread and two test tubes. Procedure: Take two iron nails and clean them by rubbing them with sand paper. Take two test

tubes marked as (A) and (B). In each test tube, take about 10 ml copper sulphate solution. Tie one iron nail with a thread and immerse it carefully in the copper sulphate solution in test tube A for about 20 minutes. Keep one iron nail aside for comparison. After 20 minutes, take out the iron nail from the copper sulphate solution. Compare the intensity of the blue colour of copper sulphate solutions in the test tubes (A) and (B). Also, compare the colour of the iron nail dipped in the copper sulphate solution with the one kept aside.

Observation: the iron nail dipped in the copper sulphate solution in test tube A becomes brownish in colour and the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades in test tube A. While the blue colour of copper sulphate solution in test tube B remains the same.

Conclusion: iron has displaced or removed another element, copper, from copper sulphate solution in test tube A. This reaction is known as displacement reaction.

Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) [copper sulphate] [Iron sulphate] Activity 1.10 (Experiment): Aim: To show double displacement reaction Apparatus: 3 ml of sodium sulphate, 2 test tubes, 3 ml of

barium chloride solution. Procedure: Take about 3 ml of sodium sulphate solution in a

test tube. In another test tube, take about 3 ml of barium chloride solution, Mix the two solutions.

Observation: A white substance, which is insoluble in water, is formed. This insoluble substance formed is known as a precipitate. Any reaction that produces a precipitate can be called a precipitation reaction.

Conclusion: This is a double displacement reaction shown by the equation below where Na+ being more reactive than Ba+2 displaces Ba+2 from its compound BaCl2 and takes its place to form NaCl.

Chapter Map:

What is an acid? An acid is a compound which on dissolving in water gives hydronium ions as the only

positively charged ions. What is a base?

Any substance which gives hydroxyl ions on dissolving in water or reacts with acids to form salt and water only or neutralizes an acid is called a base.

What is litmus solution? This solution is a natural indicator. It is neither basic nor acidic its colour is purple. However,

this colour changes to red in an acidic medium and to blue in a basic medium. There are other indicators as well eg Turmeric, methyl orange, methyl red, phenolphthalein. Some naturally occurring materials like red cabbage leaves, coloured petals of some

flowers eg. Hydrangea, Petunia, Geranium also indicate the presence of an acid or a base in a solution.

What is a Salt? A salt is an ionic compound containing a positive ion other than hydrogen ion and a

negative ion other than a hydroxyl ion. A salt is a substance having different tastes. It has a mild irritating sensation when touched.

Reaction of Acids with metal carbonates & Metal Hydrogencarbonates: Acids react with metal carbonates to give salt, water and CO2.

Na2CO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) Acids react with metal hydrogen carbonates to give salt, water and CO2.

NaHCO3(s) + HCl(aq) NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Reaction of metallic oxides with Acids: When acids react with metallic oxides a salt and water are formed. This reaction is similar to

the reaction when acids and bases react with each other. This proves that metallic oxides are basic in nature.

Na2O + 2HCl 2NaCl + H2O

Reaction of nonmetallic oxides with bases: When bases react with nonmetallic oxides a salt and water are formed. This reaction is

similar to the reaction when acids and bases react with each other. This proves that nonmetallic oxides are acidic in nature. Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) (Lime water) (White precipitate)

Comparative properties of all Acids and Bases: All Acids generate hydrogen gas on reacting with metals, so hydrogen seems to be common to

all acids. Hence, when we pass electricity through an acidic solution the electric current is carried through the solution by ions.

Since the cation present in acids is H+, this suggests that acids produce hydrogen ions, H+(aq), in solution, which are responsible for their acidic properties.

When we dissolve a base like sodium hydroxide in water; (OH) ions (anions) are generated in water.

When HCl is added to water the following reaction takes place HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl

The separation of H+ ions from HCl molecules cannot occur in the absence of water. Hydrogen ions cannot exist alone, but they exist after combining with water molecules. Thus

hydrogen ions must always be shown as H+(aq) or as an hydronium ion (H3O+). Acids give H3O+ or H+(aq) ions in water. Now, when a base is dissolved in water, OH ions are

generated in water. Bases which are soluble in water are called alkalis. Eg.

NaOH(s) OH2 Na+(aq) + OH(aq) KOH(s)

OH2 K+(aq) + OH(aq)

Mg(OH)2(s) OH2 Mg2+(aq) + 2O H(aq)

18


All bases do not dissolve in water. Now as we have identified that all acids generate H+(aq) and all bases generate OH(aq), we can

view the neutralisation reaction as follows, Acid + Base Salt + Water H X + M OH MX + HOH H+(aq) + OH(aq) H2O(l)

The process of dissolving an acid or a base in water is a highly exothermic one. Care must be taken while mixing concentrated nitric acid or sulphuric acid with water. The acid must always be added slowly to water with constant stirring.

If water is added to a concentrated acid, the heat generated may cause the mixture to splash out and cause burns. The glass container may also break due to excessive local heating.

What is dilution of an acid or a base? Mixing an acid or a base with water results in decrease in the concentration of ions

(H3O+/OH) per unit volume. Such a process is called dilution and the acid or the base is said to be diluted.

Strength of acidic or basic solutions: Acid-base indicators are used to distinguish between an acid and a base. On dilution or decreasing the concentration of H+ or OH ions in solutions, per unit volume

we can quantitatively find the amount of these ions present in a solution. Thus, we judge how strong a given acid or a base is. We can do this by making use of an

universal indicator, which is a mixture of several indicators. The universal indicator shows different colours at different concentrations of hydrogen ions in a solution.

A scale for measuring hydrogen ion concentration in a solution, called pH scale has been developed. The p in pH stands for potenz in German, meaning power. This scale was introduced by Sorensen.

Definition: pH of a solution is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration or

pH = log [H+] If hydrogen ion conc. is expressed as 10 raised to its negative power numerical value

then the numerical value written over 10 is called pH of the solution. i.e. if [H+] = 10X then pH = X.

Every aqueous solution whether neutral, acidic or basic contains both H+ and OH ions. The product of [H+] [OH] for any solution is always 1 1014 at 25C. If H+ concentration is more, the solution is acidic and if OH concentration is more, the solution is

basic. Thus a convenient scale for pH was devised; termed as pH scale.

In pure water [H+] = [OH] = 107mol / litre On the pH scale we can measure pH from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline). pH should be

thought simply as a number which indicates the acidic or basic nature of a solution. Higher the hydronium ion concentration, lower is the pH value.

[H+] = 107 pH = (7) log 10 (pH = log [H+]) pH = 7(neutral)

[H+] 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 1010 1011 1012 1013 1014

pH 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14



Solutions with pH from 0 to 6.9 are acids while solutions with pH from 7.1 to 14 are bases. Solutions with pH 0 to 3 are strong acids while those with pH 4 to 6 are weak acids. Solution with pH 7.1 to 10 are weak bases Solutions with pH 11 to 14 are strong bases.

Strong Acids / Weak Acids: Strong acids are those acids, which undergo complete dissociation on dissolving in water

and hence release large number of hydrogen ions in aqueous solutions. Eg. HCl, H2SO4 e.g. HCl(aq) H+(aq) + Cl(aq)

Weak acids do not undergo complete dissociation and hence release few hydrogen ions. e.g. Acetic acid, Oxalic acid.

e.g. CH3COOH(aq) CH3COO(aq) + H+(aq)

Strong Bases / Weak Bases: Strong bases are those bases, which release large number of hydroxyl ions by undergoing

complete dissociation in aqueous solutions. E.g. Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide

Weak bases release few hydroxyl ions, as they do not dissociate completely. E.g. Ammonium Hydroxide.

Importance of pH in Everyday Life: Our body works within the pH range of 7.0 to 7.8. Living organisms can survive only in a

narrow range of pH change. When rain water dissolves SO2 and NO2 gases present in the atmosphere its pH is less

than 5.6. This is called acid rain. When this acid rain flows into the rivers and seas it lowers the pH of the water there, thus making aquatic life difficult.

pH of the soil in your backyard: Plants require a specific pH range for their healthy growth i.e. between 6.0 7.5.

pH in our digestive system: Our stomach produces hydrochloric acid. It helps in the digestion and preservation of the

food stored in the stomach during digestion of food without harming the stomach. During indigestion the stomach produces too much acid and this causes pain and irritation.

To get rid of this pain, people use bases called antacids. These antacids neutralise the excess acid. Magnesium hydroxide (Milk of magnesia), a mild base, is often used for this purpose.

pH change is the cause of tooth decay: Tooth decay starts when the pH of the mouth is lower than 5.5. Tooth enamel, made up of

calcium phosphate is the hardest substance in the body. It does not dissolve in water, but is corroded when the pH in the mouth is below 5.5.

Bacteria present in the mouth produce acids by the degradation of sugar and food particles that remain in the mouth after eating.

The best way to prevent this is to clean the mouth after eating food. Using toothpastes, which are generally basic, for cleaning the teeth can neutralise the excess acid and prevent tooth decay.

Self defence by animals and plants through chemical warfare: Bee-sting leaves an acid; formic acid which causes pain and irritation. Use of a mild base

like baking soda on the stung area gives relief. Stinging hair of nettle leaves inject methanoic acid causing burning pain.

More about salts: Salts of a strong acid and a strong base are neutral with pH value of 7. On the other hand,

salts of a strong acid and a weak base are acidic with pH value less than 7 and those of a strong base and a weak acid are basic in nature, with pH value more than 7.

Chemicals from Common Salt: Common salt is formed by the combination of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide

solution and is called sodium chloride. This is the salt that is used in food, it is a neutral salt. Seawater contains many salts dissolved in it. Sodium chloride is separated from these salts.

Deposits of solid salt are also found in several parts of the world. These large crystals are often brown due to impurities. This is called rock salt. Beds of rock

salt were formed when seas of bygone ages dried up. Rock salt is mined like coal. Common salt A raw material for chemicals. The common salt thus obtained is an important raw material for various materials of daily

use, such as sodium hydroxide, baking soda, washing soda, bleaching powder and many more.

Sodium hydroxide: When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (called brine), it

decomposes to form sodium hydroxide.



The process is called the chlor-alkali process because of the products formed chlor for chlorine and alkali for sodium hydroxide.

2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O(l) yelectricit 2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) + H2(g) Chlorine gas is given off at the anode, and hydrogen gas at the cathode. Sodium hydroxide

solution is formed near the cathode. The three products produced in this process are all useful. Figure below shows the different

uses of these products.

Bleaching Powder: Formula: CaOCl2 Industrial method of preparation is the action of

chlorine on dry slaked lime. Ca(OH)2 + Cl2 CaOCl2 + H2O It is also called as chloride of lime

Uses: Used for bleaching cotton, linen in textiles

industry, wood pulp in paper factories As an oxidizing agent. For disinfecting

drinking water.

Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate): Common Name: Baking Soda Formula: NaHCO3 It is produced using sodium chloride as one of the raw materials.

NaCl + H2O + CO2 + NH3 NH4Cl + NaHCO3 (Ammonium chloride) (Sodium hydrogencarbonate)

Properties: Crystals are white in color, sparingly soluble in water, this solution is alkaline If solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate is boiled or heated, CO2 is given off. So it is

used as baking powder to aerate the dough.

2NaHCO3 Heat Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 It is a mild non-corrosive base. The following reaction takes place when it is heated

during cooking:

2NaHCO3 heat Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2 (Sodium hydrogencarbonate) (Sodium carbonate)

Sodium hydrogencarbonate has got various uses in the household. Uses:

The soda commonly used in the kitchen for making tasty crispy pakoras is baking soda. Sometimes it is added for faster cooking.

As an antacid. As an additive in food and drinks. In fire extinguishers.

Note: Baking powder contains tartaric acid, which neutralises sodium carbonate and thus prevents the cake from tasting bitter

Uses of sodium hydrogencarbonate (NaHCO3): For making baking powder, which is a mixture of baking soda (sodium hydrogencarbonate)

and a mild edible acid such as tartaric acid. When baking powder is heated or mixed in water, the following reaction takes place NaHCO3 + H+ CO2 + H2O + Sodium salt of acid (From any acid)

Carbon dioxide produced during the reaction causes the dough for the bread or cakes to rise making them soft and spongy.

Washing soda Another chemical that can be obtained from sodium chloride is Na2CO3.10H2O (washing

soda). Common name: Washing soda Formula: Na2CO3 . 10 H2O A Molecule of sodium carbonate contains 10 molecules of water of crystallization.

Anhydrous sodium carbonate is commonly known as soda ash. Sodium carbonate can be obtained by heating baking soda. On recrystallisation of sodium

carbonate we get washing soda. It is also a basic salt. Na2CO3 + 10H2O Na2CO3 . 10H2O (Sodium carbonate)

When Na2CO3 10H2O is strongly heated then the following reaction takes place.

Na2CO3 10H2O .heating.strong Na2CO3 + 10H2O (soda ash)

Uses: In the manufacture of glass, soap, paper and other sodium compounds such as borax,

caustic soda etc. for removing permanent hardness of water In laundry as washing soda



As a cleansing agent for domestic purposes As a laboratory reagent.

Na2CO3 . 10H2O is an efflorescent salt i.e. at room temperature it gives out 9 molecules of its water of crystallization and dissolves in this water. This phenomenon is called efflorescence

Na2CO3 . 10H2O .temp.room Na2CO3 . H2O + 9H2O That is why washing soda is sold as soda ash in grocer shops.

Crystals of Salts are not dry: Blue copper sulphate crystals which seem to be dry contain water of crystallisation. When

we heat the crystals, this water is removed and the salt turns white. If you moisten the crystals again with water, you will find that the blue colour of the crystals

reappears. Water of crystallisation is the fixed number of water molecules present in one formula unit of

a salt. Five water molecules are present in one formula unit of copper sulphate. Chemical formula for hydrated copper sulphate is CuSO4 . 5H2O.

One other salt, which possesses water of crystallization is gypsum. It has two water molecules as water of crystallization. It has the formula CaSO4.2H2O.

Plaster of Paris: Formula: CaSO4 H2O hemihydrated salt of calcium sulphate.

Preparation: It is prepared by controlled heating of gypsum at 373 K in a kiln.

CaSO4 2H2O K373 (CaSO4) H2O + 1H2O Note: If heating is not controlled anhydrous calcium sulphate is formed. This is called burnt gypsum.

Properties: Plaster of Paris is a white powder. When it is mixed with water, crystals of gypsum are

produced again, but this time they are set to form a hard solid mass. CaSO4 H2O + 1 H2O CaSO4 2H2O

Plaster of Paris Gypsum

Half a water molecule is shown to be attached as water of crystallisation. It is written in this form because two formula units of CaSO4 share one molecule of

water. About 5000 years ago, Egyptians obtained a powder by heating gypsum (calcium

sulphate) in open air fires. This powder was used for cementing blocks of their monuments. The powder is called

plaster of Paris because it is made by using gypsum, which was mainly found in Montmartre in Paris.
