Q & A

What is a chemical reaction?

A chemical reaction is a process in which atoms in substances are rearranged to form new substances. The bonds between atoms change, transforming reactants into products. It can involve energy release, such as heat or light.

What happens when magnesium reacts with oxygen?

When magnesium reacts with oxygen, it forms magnesium oxide (a white powder). This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. The magnesium initially needs a spark or flame to start the reaction.

How does potassium permanganate react with glycerin?

Potassium permanganate reacts with glycerin to produce potassium carbonate, dimanganese trioxide, carbon dioxide gas, and water. This reaction is spontaneous and generates enough heat to ignite the surrounding paper.

What occurs when calcium carbide reacts with water?

When calcium carbide reacts with water, it produces acetylene gas and calcium hydroxide. The reaction also forms a white powder, calcium hydroxide, which is used in construction.

How does acetylene burn in air?

Acetylene gas, when burned in air, reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. This is a combustion reaction that generates heat and light.

What happens when hydrogen peroxide reacts with potassium permanganate and vinegar?

When hydrogen peroxide reacts with potassium permanganate and vinegar, oxygen gas, water, and a manganese ion are produced. The reaction causes a color change from purple to colorless due to the transformation of permanganate into manganese.

What is the role of potassium iodide in the reaction with hydrogen peroxide?

Potassium iodide acts as a catalyst in the reaction with hydrogen peroxide. It helps break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, facilitating the reaction without being consumed in the process.

What is the ‘elephant toothpaste’ experiment?

The 'elephant toothpaste' experiment involves hydrogen peroxide, potassium iodide, and a bit of detergent to produce a rapid release of oxygen gas, which creates a large foamy eruption. The foam is created by the oxygen bubbling through the soap.

What happens when sodium reacts with water?

When sodium reacts with water, it produces sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is highly exothermic, generating a lot of heat. The hydrogen gas released is highly flammable and can ignite upon contact with the heat.

What does sulfuric acid do to sugar in the experiment?

Sulfuric acid acts as a powerful dehydrating agent and removes water from the sugar (sucrose). This results in the formation of carbon, and the sugar turns black as the hydrogen and oxygen are removed and released as water.
