Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve the transformation of one or more substances into new substances.
- There are four main types of chemical reactions:
- Synthesis reactions: two or more substances combine to form a new compound.
- Decomposition reactions: one substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
- Replacement reactions: one element replaces another element in a compound.
- Combustion reactions: a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light.
- Chemical reaction equations represent the reactants, products, and direction of the reaction.
- Reactants are listed on the left side of the equation.
- Products are listed on the right side of the equation.
- The arrow (→) indicates the direction of the reaction.
- Coefficients are used to balance the equation.
Chemical Reaction Rates
- Factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction include:
- Concentration
- Temperature
- Surface area
- Catalysts
- The rate of a chemical reaction is the speed at which reactants are converted to products.
Acids and Bases
- Acids and bases are classified based on their ability to donate or accept protons.
- According to the Arrhenius definition:
- Acids produce H+ ions in solution.
- Bases produce OH- ions in solution.
- According to the Brønsted-Lowry definition:
- Acids donate H+ ions (protons).
- Bases accept H+ ions (protons).
- The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
- pH 7 is neutral (neither acidic nor basic).
- pH < 7 is acidic.
- pH > 7 is basic.
- Acids and bases can be strong or weak, depending on their ability to dissociate in solution.
- Strong acids and bases completely dissociate in solution.
- Weak acids and bases partially dissociate in solution.
- Examples of acids include:

Chemical Reactions
Types of Chemical Reactions:
- Synthesis reaction occurs when two or more substances combine to form a new compound.
- Decomposition reaction involves a single compound breaking down into two or more substances.
- Replacement reaction occurs when one element replaces another element in a compound.
- Combustion reaction is a reaction between a substance and oxygen, often releasing heat and light.
- Neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water.
Chemical Equation:
- A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction using chemical formulas and symbols.
- Reactants are written on the left, products on the right, and the arrow (→) indicates the direction of the reaction.
- Coefficients are used to balance the equation, ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides.
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates:
- Increasing the concentration of reactants can increase the reaction rate.
- Higher temperatures can increase the reaction rate.
- Increasing the surface area of reactants can increase the reaction rate.
- Catalysts are substances that speed up the reaction without being consumed by it.
Acids and Bases
Definitions:
- An acid is a substance that donates a proton (H+ ion).
- A base is a substance that accepts a proton (H+ ion).
pH Scale:
- pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution.
- pH 7 is neutral, pH < 7 is acidic, and pH > 7 is basic.
Types of Acids and Bases:
- Strong acids completely dissociate in water, releasing all H+ ions.
- Weak acids partially dissociate in water, releasing some H+ ions.
- Strong bases completely dissociate in water, releasing all OH- ions.
- Weak bases partially dissociate in water, releasing some OH- ions.
Acid-Base Reactions:
- Neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water.
- Acid-base indicators are substances that change color in response to changes in pH, used to determine the acidity or basicity of a solution.
