Study Notes

Acids and Bases

Acids have a pH less than 7 and taste sour.
Bases have a pH greater than 7 and taste bitter.
Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water, increasing their concentration.
Bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water, increasing their concentration.
Strong acids completely dissociate in water, while weak acids only partially dissociate.
Strong bases completely dissociate in water, while weak bases only partially dissociate.

Neutralization Reactions

Acids react with bases to form salt and water.
The hydrogen ions from the acid and hydroxide ions from the base combine to form water (H2O).
The salt is formed from the anion of the acid and the cation of the base.
Acids react with metals to form salt and hydrogen gas.
The hydrogen ions from the acid form the hydrogen gas.
Most metals react with acids.
Acids react with metal carbonates to form salt, water, and carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide can be detected by reacting it with lime water, which will turn cloudy due to the formation of calcium carbonate.

Combustion Reactions

A combustion reaction is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, typically producing carbon dioxide and water.
The reaction usually involves a hydrocarbon and oxygen, releasing heat and light.
The products of combustion are heat/light, water, and carbon dioxide.

Corrosion

Corrosion is the oxidation of metals due to reactions with substances in the environment.
Water is often involved in corrosion reactions.
Corrosion occurs at different speeds depending on the metal and the environment.
Corrosion can reduce the tensile strength of a material, hamper its ability to conduct electricity, and create pitting and holes.
Corrosion can be prevented by protecting the surface of the metal with a layer of paint or oil, preventing air and water from contacting the metal.

Newton's Laws of Motion

Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia): An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a net external force.
Newton's Second Law of Motion: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This can be represented by the equation F = ma, where F is the net force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Action-reaction pairs act on different objects and do not cancel each other out, resulting in movement.

Energy Transformations and Conservation

Energy is the ability to do work.
Energy can be transformed (converted) or transferred (from one object to another).
Kinetic Energy (KE): The energy an object possesses due to its motion. KE is proportional to the square of the object's speed/velocity. KE = ½mv², where m is the mass and v is the velocity.
Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE): The energy stored in an object due to its position relative to a reference point. GPE is proportional to the object's mass and height. GPE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.
Elastic Potential Energy (EPE): The energy stored in an elastic object when it is stretched or compressed. EPE = ½kx², where k is the spring constant and x is the extension or compression.
The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
Energy Efficiency: The use of less energy to perform the same task or produce the same result.
Work: The transfer of energy by a force acting on an object as it moves a distance. Work = force x distance.

Momentum, Impulse, and Collisions

Momentum: A measure of an object's mass in motion. Momentum = mass x velocity. It is a vector quantity.
Impulse: The change in momentum of an object due to the application of a force over a time interval. Impulse = change in momentum.
Conservation of Momentum: In a closed system, the total momentum remains constant unless acted upon by an external force.
Collision: An event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other for a short period.
Elastic Collision: A collision where kinetic energy is conserved. Objects separate after impact without losing kinetic energy.
Inelastic Collision: A collision where kinetic energy is not conserved. Objects lose kinetic energy, often transforming it into heat energy.
- Perfectly Inelastic Collision: Objects stick together and move as one after the collision, losing velocity but conserving momentum.
- Partially Inelastic Collision: Objects briefly stick together and then separate, losing some velocity but conserving momentum.

Evolution

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck: One of the first to propose a theory of evolutionary change, believing that organisms could inherit characteristics acquired during their lifetime.
Living Fossils: Organisms that have remained relatively unchanged for millions of years and closely resemble their ancient ancestors. They provide insights into species that have survived with little evolutionary change.
Divergent Evolution: Occurs when two or more species with a common ancestor evolve in different directions, leading to increasing differences over time. It often results in homologous structures—similar structures with different functions due to adaptations to different environments.
Convergent Evolution: Occurs when unrelated species evolve similar traits independently due to similar selective pressures. It often results in analogous structures—different structures with similar functions.
Homologous Structures: Similar structures in different species that come from a shared ancestor, even if they have different functions.
Analogous Structures: Different structures in unrelated species that have similar functions, but did not come from a shared ancestor.

Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction

Meiosis: A type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
- First stage of Meiosis: The vast majority of the cytoplasm ends up in the oocyte, resulting in the smaller cell dying.
- Second stage of Meiosis: Occurs after the sperm combines with the oocyte, producing a haploid ovum that accepts DNA from the sperm.
Fertilization: The fusion of a sperm cell and an egg cell, forming a diploid zygote.
Genetic Diversity: Meiosis contributes to genetic diversity by creating new combinations of genetic material in each of the four daughter cells. This results from the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes.

Gregor Mendel and Genetics

Mendel's Experiments: Mendel studied inheritance in pea plants and identified consistent patterns of inheritance for seven traits.
Mendel's Contributions:
- Factors: Mendel proposed the concept of "factors" inside cells that control characteristics (later called genes).
- Two Copies of Each Gene: He recognized that each individual carries two copies of each gene, one from each parent.
- Segregation of Genes: Genes separate from each other during gamete formation and recombine during fertilization.
- Independent Assortment: Genes controlling different characteristics are passed onto the next generation independently of each other.
Law of Segregation: Each individual carries two copies of each gene, and these copies segregate during gamete formation.
Law of Independent Assortment: Genes controlling different characteristics are inherited independently of each other, with each pair of chromosomes segregating autonomously during meiosis.
