Rancidity, types of reactions. Class 10th science chapter1
TYPES OF REACTIONS: DETAILED
• Combination reaction:
Those reaction in which two or more chemical substances (elements & compounds) combine together to form a single chemical substance.
Ex. Mg + O2 ➡ 2MgO
• Decomposition reaction:
Those reactions in which a single chemical substance breaks down to give two or more simpler substances.
Ex. • Thermal decomposition:
FeSO4. 7H2O ➡ FeSO4 + 7H2O
•Electrolytic decomposition:
2H2O ➡ 2H2 + O2
•photo decomposition:
2AgCl ➡ 2Ag + Cl2
• Displacement reaction:
Those reactions in which a more active element displaces a less active element from its compound.
Ex. Fe + CuSO4 ➡ FeSO4 + Cu
• Double Displacement:
Those reactions in which two compound react with each other by exchanging their ions to form two new compounds.
Ex. BaCl2 + Na2SO4 ➡ BaSO4 + 2NaCl
• Oxidation & Reduction:
OXIDATION:
• It is process which involves gain or addition of oxygen.
• It is also a process which involves removal or loss of hydrogen.
REDUCTION:
•It is process which involves gain or addition of hydrogen.
•It is a process which involves removal or loss of oxygen.
Oxidising & Reducing Agents
An oxidising agent is a substance which
• supplies oxygen
• takes up hydrogen.
An reducing agent is a substance which
• supplies hydrogen
• takes up oxygen.
Effects of Oxidation & Reduction:
• Corrosion of metals
• Rancidity of food
CORROSION
Oxidation of metals in the presence of air, moisture or chemicals called corrosion of metals.
Ex. Rusting
4Fe + 3O2 + 2xH2O ➡ Fe2O3 . XH2O
Preventions of Rusting:
Rusting of iron can be prevented by keeping the iron objects away from contact with the damp air.
• painting: By painting the iron articles like iron gates, steel furniture, window grills, bodies of Cars etc.
• Galvanisation: By coating the surface of iron objects with a thin layer of zinc.
• Greasing: By greasing and oiling the iron articles like machine parts, mechanical tools etc.
RANCIDITY
Oxidation of oils/fats in a food by atmospheric oxygen resulting into an unpleasant smell and taste, called Rancidity.
Preventions of Rancidity:
• By addition of antioxidants: In food industry, there are a number of special types of substances which are added before packing in order to slow down the process of oxidation.
• Vaccum packing: In a number of cases, after packing of food, the container is evacuated before sealing so that no air is available to bring about the oxidation of food.
