Study Notes

Chemical Reactions

  • Types of Chemical Reactions:
    • Synthesis (Combination) Reaction: 2 or more substances combine to form a new compound
    • Decomposition Reaction: 1 substance breaks down into 2 or more simpler substances
    • Replacement (Substitution) Reaction: 1 element replaces another element in a compound
    • Combustion Reaction: a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light
  • Chemical Reaction Equations:
    • Reactants: substances on the left side of the equation
    • Products: substances on the right side of the equation
    • Arrow (→) indicates direction of reaction
    • Coefficients: numbers in front of formulas to balance the equation
  • Chemical Reaction Rates:
    • Factors Affecting Reaction Rate:
      • Concentration
      • Temperature
      • Surface Area
      • Catalysts
    • Rate of Reaction: speed at which reactants are converted to products

Acids and Bases

  • Arrhenius Definition:
    • Acids: substances that produce H+ ions in solution
    • Bases: substances that produce OH- ions in solution
  • Brønsted-Lowry Definition:
    • Acids: substances that donate H+ ions (protons)
    • Bases: substances that accept H+ ions (protons)
  • pH Scale:
    • Measures acidity/basicity of a solution
    • pH 7: neutral (neither acidic nor basic)
    • pH < 7: acidic
    • pH > 7: basic
  • Strong and Weak Acids/Bases:

    • Weak Acids/Bases: partially dissociate in solution
  • Examples of Acids and Bases:
    • Acids: HCl, H2SO4, CH3COOH
    • Bases: NaOH, KOH, NH3

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:
    • HCl
    • H2SO4
    • CH3COOH
  • Examples of bases include:
    • NaOH
    • KOH
    • NH3

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.
