Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve reactants transforming into products
- The number of atoms of each element must be conserved
- Reactants are substances that start the reaction
- Products are substances formed from reaction
- Chemical equations depict reactants and products
- Chemical formulas represent substances using element symbols and subscripts
- Types of chemical reactions include: combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, acid-base neutralization, combustion
- Conservation of mass principle means mass of reactants equals mass of products
- Exothermic reactions release heat
- Endothermic reactions absorb heat
- Neutralization reactions involve acids and bases reacting to produce salt and water
- Examples of chemical reactions include:
- Combustion: Burning of a substance in the presence of oxygen (e.g., C + O₂ → CO₂)
- Neutralization: Acid + Base → Salt + Water (e.g., HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O)
- Formation of a precipitate: Combining two soluble solutions to get an insoluble solid (e.g., AgNO₃ + NaCl → AgCl ↓ + NaNO₃)
pH and Indicators
- pH is a measure of acidity or basicity
- A pH value of 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is alkaline
- Indicators are substances that change color depending on pH
- Examples of indicators include litmus paper, phenolphthalein, universal indicator, and others
- Litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions
- Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic and neutral solutions, and pink or fuchsia in basic solutions
- Universal indicator shows a range of colors to represent different pH values
- pH can be measured using pH meters or indicators.
- Acids release H⁺ ions in water, while bases release OH⁻ ions.
- Acids have a sour taste; Bases have a bitter taste.
- pH scale ranges from 0 to 14
- Neutral solutions have a pH of 7
- Acidic solutions have a pH less than 7
- Basic solutions have a pH greater than 7
