When two or more substances react and form some new substance, it is called a chemical reaction. Chemical equation is represented in terms of symbols, molecular formulas, moles, states, etc. As we know, all chemical reaction obeys law of chemical combination. Therefore, chemical reactions need to be balanced. It is done by hit and trial method. The chemical reactions can be classified into different types such as combination reaction, decomposition reaction, displacement reaction, double displacement reaction. The reactions take place in solution is precipitation reactions and neutralisation reactions.

(i) Define a chemical equation.
(ii) Which law is followed by all chemical reactions?
(iii) Name four types of chemical reactions.
or
(iv) Give example of precipitation reactions.
