Study Notes
Pure Substances
- Pure substances consist of only one type of element or compound.
Products of Chemical Reactions
- Products of chemical reactions often have a neutral pH (green on the universal indicator scale).
Chemical Reactions
-
Chemical reactions involve atoms joining to form compounds via electron transfer or sharing.
-
Chemical bonds form from this electron interaction.
-
Chemical reactions always result in new substances.
-
Energy is conserved in chemical reactions.
-
Energy is either released or absorbed during chemical reactions.
-
Changes of state (e.g., melting, freezing) are physical changes that do not form new substances.
-
Chemical changes (e.g., burning) are much harder to reverse than physical changes.
-
Atoms are rearranged during chemical reactions, but the total number of atoms remains constant (law of conservation of mass).
-
Bonds in reactants break, and new bonds form in products.
-
A balanced chemical equation has the same number of each element in reactants and products.
Reactants and Products
- Reactants are the starting materials in a chemical reaction.
- Products are the substances formed in the reaction.
Balancing Chemical Equations
-
Coefficients balance equations, not subscripts.
-
Changing subscripts changes the substance itself (e.g., CO vs. CO2).
Identifying Chemical Reactions
- Color change, bubbling (effervescence), change in temperature, and precipitate formation are indicators of chemical reactions.
Everyday Chemical Reactions
- Rusting (iron, oxygen, water), baking, and burning are examples.
Combustion
-
Combustion is the process of burning.
-
Fuels are substances burned to release energy.
-
Combustion is an oxidation reaction involving a fuel reacting with oxygen.
-
Combustion Equation: methane + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
-
Combustion uses fuels to transfer chemical energy.
-
Friction or heat can initiate combustion.
-
Released thermal energy sustains combustion until fuel is exhausted.
Incomplete Combustion
- Incomplete combustion occurs with insufficient oxygen, releasing less energy and producing carbon monoxide (soot) instead of carbon dioxide.
Thermal Decomposition
- Thermal decomposition is breaking down a compound by heating it.
- Only one reactant is involved, which breaks down into two products.
Displacement Reactions
- A more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound.
- The reactivity series predicts the outcome of displacement reactions.
- The displaced element becomes a pure, free element.
Oxidation and Reduction
- Oxidation is the addition of oxygen.
- Redox reactions involve one substance being oxidized and another being reduced. (losing oxygen)
- Neutralization reactions involve an acid reacting with a base to produce salt and water.
Exothermic Reactions
- Exothermic reactions release energy to their surroundings.
- Neutralization reactions and combustion are exothermic.
- The temperature increases due to the released energy.
- Products are at a lower energy level than reactants.
Endothermic Reactions
- Endothermic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings.
- Thermal decomposition and some cold packs utilize endothermic reactions.
- The temperature decreases due to energy absorption.
- Products are at a higher energy level than reactants.
Activation Energy
- Activation energy is the minimum energy needed for particles to react.
- Different reactions have different activation energy levels.
- Reaction profiles graphically illustrate energy changes during reactions.
Reaction Profiles
- Differences in reactant and product energies represent energy transferred to or from surroundings.
Magnetism
-
Magnets have north and south poles.
-
Magnetic forces are non-contact forces. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract.
-
Permanent magnets create their own magnetic fields.
-
Induced magnets become magnetic in magnetic fields and are always attracted to permanent magnets.
-
Magnetic metals include iron, steel, cobalt, and nickel.
Magnetic Fields
- Magnetic fields are regions where magnets experience forces.
- Magnetic field lines show the field's direction and strength.
- Field lines go from north to south poles.
- Iron filings align with magnetic field lines.
- Compasses align with magnetic field lines to map magnetic fields.
Earth's Magnetic Field
- The Earth is a giant magnet with a north magnetic pole (actually a south magnetic pole).
- Earth's magnetic field helps compasses point North.
Bond Making and Breaking
-
Breaking bonds absorbs energy (endothermic).
-
Making bonds releases energy (exothermic).
-
Bond energy is the energy needed to break a bond or released when a bond forms, measured in kJ/mol.
-
Reactions are endothermic if bond-breaking energy > bond-forming energy, & exothermic when the reverse is true.
-
Overall energy change = energy in - energy out - energy needed to break bonds - energy released to form bonds.
Electric Currents and Magnetic Fields
- Currents in wires produce magnetic fields.
- Stronger currents create stronger fields.
- Field lines are circular around the wire.
- Wire coils (solenoids) produce stronger magnetic fields.
Electromagnets
- Electromagnets are temporary magnets produced by current in a coil of wire around a magnetic core.
- Electromagnets can be turned on and off by controlling the current.
Motor Effect
- Current-carrying wires placed in magnetic fields experience forces.
- The force direction depends on the current and magnetic field directions.
- Increasing current or magnetic field strength increases the force.
- Motors utilize this effect for continuous rotation.
Generators
- Generators use movement to create electrical current.
- Motors use electrical currents to produce movement.
Sound Waves
-
Sound waves are longitudinal waves produced by vibrations in a medium (e.g., air).
-
Sound travels faster in solids due to tighter particle packing. Temperature also affects speed.
-
Sound waves are sensed when vibrations reach an ear or other sound detection mechanism
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound has frequencies above the human hearing range.
Light Waves
-
Light waves are transverse electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium.
-
Light from one material reflects when it hits a boundary of another different material
Refraction
- Waves change speed and direction when moving between substances of different densities.
Dispersion
- Different colors of light refract by different amounts in prisms, separating the light into a spectrum (rainbow).
Lenses
- Convex lenses converge parallel light rays, concave lenses diverge.
Ionic Bonds
- Ions are charged particles formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons in chemical reactions.
- Ionic bonds form between oppositely charged ions.
Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements based on electron configuration (number of electrons per shell).
- Groups (vertical) determine outer electron shell electrons.
- Periods (horizontal) determine the number of electron shells.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Groups and periods within the table group, elements that share similar properties.
- Halogens (Group 7) are highly reactive non metals.
- Alkali metals (Group 1) are also very reactive metals
- Noble gases (Group 0) are among the least reactive of all elements.
