What Happens During a Chemical Reaction

Here you will know what happens during a chemical reaction. In this article, we will discuss different types of chemical reactions and their complete explanation.



Chemical Reaction:-  A change in which the chemical composition of the substance is changed is called a chemical reaction.


A chemical change brings a change in chemical properties that's why it is called a chemical reaction. 

What Happens During a Chemical Reaction




What are the characteristics of chemical reactions class 10


1. Formation of a new substance

2. Change in temperature

3. Evolution of gases

4. Formation of a precipitate (insoluble substance)

5. Change in physical state

6. Change in colour of the substance(s)


1. Formation of a  new substance

 During a chemical reaction one or more  new substances are produced that are called products

         Reactant →Product


          A+ B →  AB


         `2Mg + O_2 \rightarrow 2MgO`

in the above reaction, Magnesium oxide is a product.


2. Change in temperature

During a chemical reaction, a change in temperature can be observed.

The temperature may increase or decrease. Temperature increases in exothermic reactions and temperature decreases in endothermic reactions.


  `N_2+ O_2 +180.5kJ\rightarrow 2NO`(Endothermic reaction)


In this reaction, 180.5kJ of energy is absorbed.


  `C + O_2\rightarrow CO_2  + 395kJ`(Exothermic reaction)


In this reaction, 395 kJ of energy is released.


3. Evolution of gases

 In some chemical reactions, one or more gases are produced.

`Pb(NO_3)_2 \rightarrow PbO(s)   + NO_{2(g)}   + O_{2(g)}`


Two gases nitrogen dioxide and oxygen are produced.


 `Zn + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow  ZnSO_4 + H_{2(g)}`


Hydrogen gas is produced.


4. Formation of a precipitate

In some chemical reactions, precipitate an insoluble solid is formed.


`Na_2SO_4  + BaCl_2  \rightarrow BaSO_4(s)↓ + NaCl(aq)`


Barium sulphate is an insoluble solid substance formed during this reaction.


5. Change in physical state

In some chemical reactions, products are in different physical states.


`2H_2O_{(l)} \rightarrow  2H_{2(g)}  + O_{2(g)}`


In this reaction, water is in a liquid state and products hydrogen and oxygen are in a gaseous state.


6. Change in colour

During some chemical reactions, colour gets changed when products are formed.

`Fe + CuSO_4  \rightarrow FeSO_4  + Cu`

         (blue)                     (faded green)


Copper sulphate is blue and product Ferrous sulphate is faded green in colour.


These are the main characteristics of a chemical reaction, These changes do not occur in all chemical reactions.


Today we will discuss different types of chemical reactions and know what happens during a particular reaction.
