    Exp1: Types of Chemical Reactions

    Aim:To perform and observe the following reactions and classify them into:
    (a) Combination reaction (b) Decomposition reaction
    (c) Displacement reaction (d) Double displacement reaction.
    1. Action of water on quick lime.
    2. Action of heat on ferrous sulphate crystals.
    3. Iron nails kept in copper sulphate solution.
    4. Reaction between sodium sulphate and barium chloride solutions.
    Combination Reaction:
    Action of water on quick time
    1.Quick lime is calcium oxide (CaO). It combines with water to form calcium hydroxide
    [Ca(OH)2] also called as slaked lime.

    2. Two substances are combining to form one product, hence it is a combination reaction.
    3. Heat is released in the reaction, hence it is called as exothermic reaction.
    4.Slaked lime solution turns red litmus blue, hence it is basic in nature.
    5.The freshly prepared slaked lime is also called as lime water.
    6. It turns milky when carbon dioxide gas is passed through it.

    Decomposition Reaction
    Action of heat on ferrous sulphate crystals
    1. Ferrous sulphate crystals are light green in colour. The colour is due to the water of
    crystallization.
    2.On heating the crystals of ferrous sulphate, it undergoes following changes:
    3. The colour changes to brown and gases are released due to the formation of new
    compounds.
    4. Single compound decomposes to form three new compounds, hence it is called as
    decomposition reaction.
    5. SO2 and SO3 gas turns moist blue litmus paper into red, hence it is acidic in nature.
    6. Water of crystallisation is released by the crystals.
    7. SO2 gas has choking smell, do not inhale the gas, keep the mouth of the test tube away
    from your face.

    Iron nails when kept in blue coloured solution of copper sulphate, shows following
    changes:
    (a) The blue colour solution changes slowly into light green colour.
    (b) Fe2+ ions replace Cu2+ ions and form iron sulphate in the solution, hence, this is called
    as displacement reaction.
    (c) Iron nail gets the deposit of reddish copper ions on it.
    (d) Fe atom forms Fe2+ ions by loss of electrons and undergoes oxidation and Cu2+ ions
    gain electrons to become Cu atom and undergoes reduction.

    Double Displacement Reaction


    Reaction between sodium sulphate and barium chloride solutions

    1. Sodium sulphate solution and barium chloride solution are colourless.


    2.Mixing of both the solutions gives white colour precipitate due to the formation of
    barium sulphate
    3.The exchange of ions takes place in the reaction and is called as double displacement
    reaction.
    4.Barium sulphate is insoluble in water and hence it forms precipitate.
    Materials Required

    A beaker, four test tubes, test tube holder, tongs, test tube stand, a dropper, a piece of sand
    paper and bunsen burner. Chemicals required: A small piece of quick lime, ferrous
    sulphate crystals, iron nails (clean and unrusted), copper sulphate solution, sodium
    sulphate solution, barium chloride solution and distilled water.
    Procedure
    Precautions:
    1. Do not touch quick lime with hands, use tongs.
    2. Mixing of quick lime and water releases large amount of heat, so add water drop
    by drop and use borosil beaker.
    3.For heating, use hard glass tubes.
    4.Never inhale any gas, just waft the gas.
    5.Do not touch any chemical with hands.
    6.Keep the mouth of the test tube away from your face while heating.
    7.The iron nails must be cleaned properly by using sand paper before dipping them
    in copper sulphate solution.
