Points to Remember:
1. A chemical reaction involves the transformation of original substance into an altogether new
substance(s).
2. A chemical reaction can be represented with the help of the symbols or the formulae of the elements
and the compounds taking part in that reaction. This gives a chemical equation.
3. Certain necessary conditions for a chemical reaction to happen are — close contact, solution form,
heat, light and catalyst.
4. Characteristics of chemical reactions are — change of colour, evolution of a gas, formation of a
precipitate, change of state, change of smell and evolution/absorption of heat.
5. A complete chemical equation symbolically represents the reactants, products and their physical
states.
6. The substances that react with each other are called reactants and they are represented on the left
hand side of the equation. The substances that are formed as a result of the reaction are called
products. They are represented on the right hand side of the equation.
7. A chemical equation needs to be balanced to make it follow the law of the conservation of mass.
8. The law of conservation of mass states that mass can be neither created nor destroyed, it can only be
transformed from one form to another.
9. A chemical equation gives both qualitative and quantitative information about the reactants and
products.

Catalyst ICSE SOLUTIONS SOLUTIONS ISC & ICSE SPECIMEN PAPERS 2019
Answer:
(a)
Heat Energy:
On heating the reactants – the reacting particles, collide swiftly and with greater intensity.
Example:
Heat on zinc carbonate:
(b)
Light Energy:
In presence of light – the molecules of the reactants absorb light energy and collide swiftly and react
rapidly.

Plants manufacture food [glucose] from carbon dioxide and water – in the presence of chlorophyll [green
pigment in plants] and sunlight.
(c)
Electrical Energy:
It dissociates the reactant in molten or solution state, into ions, which are charged particles and hence
respective products are obtained.
Example:
Electrolysis of acidi ed water.

Pressure:
It causes the reacting molecules, to come together and collide with greater intensity.
Example:
Production of ammonia.
(e)
Catalyst:
It is a substance which alters the rate of the reaction [i.e. increases or decreases the rate] without taking
part in the reaction.It itself remains chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction.

Question 3.
A characteristic change of colour is seen when a piece of iron is added to copper [II] sulphate solution.
Answer:
A characteristic change of colour is seen when piece of iron is added to Copper (II) sulphate Solution. This
