Study Notes
Acids and Bases and the pH Scale
- The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14, with 1-6 being acidic, 7 neutral, and 8-14 basic.
- Indicators, like litmus paper and phenolphthalein, are used to determine if a solution is an acid or a base.
Acids
- Acids contain hydrogen ions (H+).
- Common acids include sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and nitric acid.
- Acids have a sour taste.
- They react with metals to produce hydrogen gas.
- They react with bases to form salt and water.
- They can corrode metals.
- Acids are used in electrolyte solutions.
Bases
- Bases contain hydroxide ions (OH⁻).
- Common bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and ammonia.
- Bases have a bitter taste and feel slippery to the touch.
- They react with acids to form salt and water.
- Bases are used in electrolyte solutions.
Concentration of Solutions
- Concentration is the measure of solute in a solvent.
- Concentrated solutions have a high amount of solute.
- Dilute solutions have a low amount of solute.
Mechanics: Motion
- Motion is a change in position over time.
- A frame of reference is needed to measure motion.
- Speed is the rate of motion.
- Velocity is speed with direction.
- Average speed is the total distance divided by the total time.
- Instantaneous speed is the speed at a specific point in time.
- Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.
Newton's Laws
- Newton's First Law (Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- Newton's Second Law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. (F = ma)
- Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Force: A push or pull, measured in Newtons (N).
- Mass: The amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms (kg).
- Weight: The force of gravity on an object, measured in Newtons (N).
