Study Notes
Acids, Bases, and Neutrals
- Acids have a sour taste, turn litmus red, and have a pH less than 7.
- Bases have a bitter taste, turn litmus blue, and have a pH greater than 7.
- Neutral substances have a pH of 7, do not change litmus color, and have no particular taste.
- Examples of acids include lemon and tomato.
- Examples of bases include bleach and soap.
- Examples of neutrals include salt and water.
Neutralization
- Neutralization is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base, producing a salt and water.
pH
- pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution.
- It ranges from 0 to 14.
- A pH of 7 is neutral.
- A pH less than 7 is acidic.
- A pH greater than 7 is basic.
Physical vs. Chemical Changes
- A physical change alters the appearance or form of a substance without changing its chemical composition.
- A chemical change results in the formation of a new substance with different properties.
- Examples of physical changes include cooking an apple, and folding a piece of paper.
- Examples of chemical changes include neutralization and boiling water.
- Changing shape or size is a physical change.
Solubility
- Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent.
- Solubility depends on temperature.
- As temperature increases, solubility generally increases (with some exceptions).
Law of Conservation of Mass
- The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
- The total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products. This means mass that is accounted for in all parts of the reaction, in the product, and reactants is the same.
