, CHEMICAL REACTIONS & EQUATIONS
Balanced Chemical Equation: Pb(NO₃)₂ → PbO + NO₂ + O₂ MnO₂ + HCl → MnCl₂ + H₂O + Cl₂

1.Combination Reaction:

2Mg + O₂ 2MgO (white powder)
Mg ribbon should be cleaned with sandpaper before burning (removes MgO layer).
• It burns with a dazzling bright white flame.
• It is also an oxidation reaction (Mg gains oxygen).
• The reaction is exothermic (heat and light are produced).




CaO (s) + H₂O (l)→ Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + Heat EXOTHERMIC REACTIONS:
Slaked lime [Ca(OH)₂ solution] is used for whitewashing walls. 1. Burning of Natural Gas (Methane)
It reacts slowly with carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air. CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g)→ CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g) + Heat
Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) forms on the walls after 2–3 days. 2. Decomposition of Vegetable into Compost :
This thin layer of CaCO₃ gives walls a shiny finish. Vegetable waste → Compost (Khad) + Heat
Marble also has the same chemical formula: CaCO₃.
Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + CO₂ (g) → CaCO₃ (s) + H₂O (l) 3. Respiration is an Exothermic Process:

When Excess CO₂ is Passed: the white precipitate of CaCO₃
Reaction:C₆H₁₂O₆ (aq) + 6O₂ (aq) → 6CO₂ (aq) + 6H₂O (l) + Energy
ENDOTHERMIC REACTIONS:
dissolves. It forms soluble calcium hydrogen carbonate.

CaCO₃ (s)+CO₂ (g)+H₂O (l) Ca(HCO₃)₂ (aq)
Photosynthesis : 6CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (l) → C₆H₁₂O₆ (aq) + 6O₂ (g)
(In presence of sunlight and chlorophyll)
