LESSON PLAN

CLASS: IX A DATE: 21-08-19

SUBJECT: CHEMISTRY TIME: 40 MIN

TOPIC: ATOMS AND MOLECULES

SUB-TOPIC: LAWS OF CHEMICAL COMBINATION

GENERAL OBJECTIVES:

 To promote understanding of basic principles in Chemistry while retaining the

excitement in Chemistry.
 To develop positive scientific attitude, and appreciate contribution of Chemistry towards
the improvement of quality of human life.
 To develop problem solving skills and nurture curiosity in students.
 To inculcate values of honesty, integrity, cooperation, concern for life and preservation
of the environment.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to:

 Recall terms like matter, elements, and compounds.

 Conclude from the activities how mass is conserved during a chemical reaction.
 Experiment with some examples of physical and chemical changes to understand Law of
Conservation of Mass.
 Explain the laws of chemical combination with examples.
 State laws of chemical combination.
 Solve numerical based on the laws of chemical combination.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: Students are already aware of:

 Matter, elements, compounds

 Difference between physical change and chemical changes.

TEACHING AIDS: Conical flask, ignition tubes, weighing machine, copper sulphate, sodium carbonate,
barium chloride, sodium sulphate, lead nitrate, sodium chloride solutions.

INTRODUCTION:

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

Teacher: In our previous chapter we studied about
matter.
Teacher: Define matter?
Teacher: What is the basic unit of matter?
Teacher: What are elements?
Teacher: What are compounds?
Teacher: Do elements randomly combine with
Student: Matter is anything that occupies space
and has mass.
Student: Atoms
Student: Elements are pure substances made up
of only one kind of atoms.
Student: Compounds are the pure substances
formed of two or more elements.
each other to form compounds? Student: No, a chemical reaction has to take
Like if I mix iron fillings and sulphur powder place between them
together will I get a compound ?
Teacher: Reactions are the essence of
Chemistry. In the 18th century, chemists found Students listen to the explanation inquisitively.
that all chemical reactions always take place in
accordance to certain laws. These laws are
referred to as Laws of chemical Combination.

PRESENTATION:

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

Teacher demonstrates an activity wherein Students follow the activity inquisitively.
solutions of two salts are kept separately in a
conical flask. The conical flasks with the
ignition tube and the two salt solutions are
weighed before mixing and again after mixing
the salt solutions. Students are instructed to fill
in their findings in an observation sheet.

Has any chemical reaction taken place:
Yes

Teacher asks the students to deduce conclusion on

the basis of their observations noted in the
observation sheets.

Student:H2O
Based on the findings of each group, teacher
concludes that “The total mass of the substance Student: H O

taking part in a chemical reaction remains the
same throughout the reaction.”

Teacher: The First Law of Chemical Student:1:8

Combination is Law of Conservation of Mass
which states that mass can neither be created
nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
 Students listen to the explanation curiously.
Teacher: What is the chemical formula of
water?
And of Distilled water Student:14:3
Rain water
River water
Teacher:What is the ratio of atoms in water?
If we take ratio of the mass of hydrogen to the
mass of oxygen.Mass of hydrogen atom is 1
and oxygen 16.
So the ratio will be?
Yes 1:8 whatever the source of water, which
also implies that 9g of water decomposes to
give 1g of hydrogen and 8g of oxygen.
Similarly in ammonia,nitrogen and hydrogen
are present in what ratio ?If mass of nitrogen
is 14 and mass of hydrogen 1 ?
Teacher:Yes,14:3,whatever the method or
source from which they are obtained.
Teacher: Here we come with the Law of
Constant Proportion also known as the Law of
Definite Proportions which states that in a
chemical substance the elements are always
present in the definite proportions by mass.

RECAPITULATION:

 If 18g of pure water is electrolysed,2g of hydrogen and 16g of oxygen is obtained. Which
law of chemical combination is illustrated by this statement?
 State law of conservation of mass?
 Hydrogen and oxygen combine in the ratio of 1:8 by mass to form water. What mass
would be required to react completely with 3g of hydrogen gas.
 State the law of definite proportions.

HOME ASSIGNMENTS:

 Does burning of candle comply with the law of conservation of mass.

VALUES: Working in group, sharing information.

SKILLS DEVELOPED: Thinking skills, observation skills.
