Module 3: Chemical Reaction

From the time we wake up in the morning to the time we sleep at night, chemical changes are taking place within
us and outside of us. Plant grow through photosynthesis, foods that we eat are digested by the body, metals
corrode, raw materials are being converted to useful products, new medicines are being developed, more versatile
and cost effective materials are being made. All the different chemical changes that occur around us have a
significant to our environment and consequently to our bodies. Factories produce products that make our life easy
to live, but they also produce waste that go to our environment. When we use different kinds of products we
produce wastes that go to our surroundings that continuously undergoes chemical reactions that can have bad
effects to our health.

Learning Competency: Apply the principles of conservation of mass to chemical reactions (S10MT-IVe-g-23)
Activity 1: “What’s in a Reaction?”
Objectives: Distinguish between reactants and products and write a chemical equation
A. REACTANTS AND PRODUCTS
Procedure: Read the given reactions in sentence form and fill in the table that follows with the list of products and
reactants the below each number write the symbol of each reactant and product. Number 1 is given as an example.
List of Chemical Reactions
1. Iron (Fe) reacts with copper sulphate(CuSo 4) and forms iron (II) sulphate (FeSo4)and copper (Cu).
2. Magnesium (Mg) combines with oxygen gas(O2) to produce magnesium oxide(MgO).
3. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence of Manganese dioxide (MnO2) produces water(H2O) and oxygen
gas(O2).
4. Acetic acid(CH3COOH) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) produces sodium acetate(C2H3NaO2) with the release
of carbon dioxide and water.
5. Copper sulphate reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce copper (II) hydroxide and sodium sulphate)
solution

Factors Affecting Chemical Reactions

The rate of chemical reaction could be increased or decreased through different ways. In the chemical industry, scientists
continuously find means to hasten the manufacture of a certain product and generate a higher yield at the least expense. The
food industry, however, has a reverse concern. Food technologists research on ways to retard reactions and thus control food
spoilage. Several factors can affect the rate of a chemical reaction such as temperature, concentration, particle size of reactants,
and catalysts. The rate of reaction/reaction rate refers to the speed at which reactants combine to form new substances. The
activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that reactant particles must have to initiate a reaction.

Learning Competency: Explain how the factors affecting rates of chemical reactions are applied in food preservation
and materials production, control of fire, pollution, and corrosion. ( S10MT-IVh-j-24 )

ACTIVITY: “ Race to the Finish Line”

In this activity, learners will study that the factors affecting rates of chemical reaction.

Part 1: Collision Theory

Task: Analysis of molecular representation of collision theory. The illustrations below show the effective(successful) and
ineffective(unsuccessful) collision of molecules to effect a chemical reaction.

Guide Questions:
1. What causes a chemical reaction?

2. What must happen for a chemical reaction to take place?

3. Describe effective/successful collision resulting to formulation of products?

Part 2. Factors Affecting Reaction Rates

Task. Analyze the following diagrams and answer the questions that follow.
A. Temperature

Q1. When are particles more active? Higher

temperature or lower temperature?

Q2. What do you think is the effect of

temperature on reaction rate?
B. Particle Size

Q3. Which reaction will proceed faster, the

one with smaller particle(fine salt) or bigger
particle(coarse salt)?

Q4. Describe in your own words the effect of

particle size on the rate of reaction.

C. Catalyst

Q5. What role does a catalyst

play in a chemical reaction?

Q6. How does the presence of

a catalyst make a reaction
proceed faster?

Q7. Can a reaction proceed

without a catalyst?

D. Effect of Concentration

Q8. Can a chemical reaction

proceed using low
concentration reactions?

Q9. What difference will there

be if high concentration of
reactants are used?

 Introduction:
Chemical reactions are processes that continuously occurs inside our bodies as well as in our environment. It
is a process that is needed for the environment to support living things and it is also needed inside the
bodies of living things in order to survive.

1. Chemical reaction can occur in nature or they can also be human controlled to produce products needed by
human to live an easily comfortable life. The process of digesting the food that we eat into its component
simple sugars, fats, and proteins that our body use to survive is an example. Food processing so that they
survive longer a shelf life in our stores and we just buy them as we need. These are just some examples of
chemical re
