Sub Topic Name : Charge Is Conserved |
|
Introduction
The total charge of the isolated system is always conserved.
Pre-Requisites:
Types of charges, Additivity of charges.
Activity:
In your school chemistry lab, you can observe the charges on elements before the reaction and after the reaction. They are found to be equal.
Real Life Question:
“What is meant by the conservation of charges in a chemical reaction?”
Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Conserved Charges Isolated | We can neither create any charge nor destroy any. A system which is closed and there is no contact with the atmosphere. |
Learning aids / Gadgets
| Gadgets | How it can be used |
|---|
Real life uses :
To calculate the charge inside any substance.
Places to visit :
Your school chemistry lab has equipments to show you the chemical reaction.
Practical examples around us
| Examples | Explainations |
|---|---|
| Every chemical process | In any chemical process there is conservation of charge. |
What you learn in Theory:
The total charge of the isolated system is always conserved. There may be production of charges in any chemical reaction but total charge before the reaction and after the reaction is zero.
What you learn in Practice:
We can neither create the charge nor destroy the charge. In any substance total charge is zero and remains zero even after the chemical reaction.
