UP Board Class 10 Science Book – Chemical Reactions and Equations

The chapter “Chemical Reactions and Equations” in the UP Board Class 10 Science Book helps students understand how substances change into new products through chemical reactions. It begins with examples like rusting of iron, burning of fuels, and digestion of food to show the presence of chemistry in daily life.



Students learn to write and balance chemical equations according to the law of conservation of mass. The chapter explains different types of reactions — combination, decomposition, displacement, double displacement, oxidation, and reduction — using simple and relatable examples. It also covers corrosion and rancidity, explaining their causes and prevention.

Based on the NCERT syllabus, this chapter builds a strong foundation for understanding chemical processes and equations, making it essential for board exam preparation and future science studies.
