Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
-
Definition: A chemical reaction involves the transformation of reactants into products through breaking and forming chemical bonds.
-
Types of Chemical Reactions:
-
Combination Reaction: Two or more substances combine to form one product.
Example: A + B → AB -
Decomposition Reaction: A single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
Example: AB → A + B -
Displacement Reaction: An element displaces another in a compound.
Example: A + BC → AC + B -
Double Displacement Reaction: Exchange of ions between two compounds.
Example: AB + CD → AD + CB - Redox Reactions: Involve the transfer of electrons, comprising oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons).
-
Combination Reaction: Two or more substances combine to form one product.
-
Indicators of Chemical Reactions:
- Color change
- Temperature change
- Gas production (bubbles)
- Precipitate formation (solid formation)
-
Balancing Chemical Equations: Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Equation balancing ensures the same number of each type of atom on both sides.
Acids and Bases
-
Acids: Substances that donate protons (H⁺ ions) in solution.
-
Properties:
- Sour taste
- Conduct electricity (electrolytes)
- React with metals to produce hydrogen gas
- Turn blue litmus paper red
- Examples: Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄)
-
Properties:
-
Bases: Substances that accept protons or produce hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in solution.
-
Properties:
- Bitter taste
- Slippery feel
- Conduct electricity
- Turn red litmus paper blue
- Examples: Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂)
-
Properties:
-
pH Scale:
- Measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
- Scale ranges from 0 (strong acid) to 14 (strong base), with 7 being neutral.
-
Neutralization Reaction:
- A reaction between an acid and a base that produces salt and water.
Example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
- A reaction between an acid and a base that produces salt and water.
-
Indicators:
- Substances that change color in response to pH.
- Common indicators include litmus, phenolphthalein, and methyl orange.

-
Indicators of Chemical Reactions:
- Color change signifies a reaction.
- Temperature change can indicate energy release or absorption.
- Gas production observed as bubbles.
- Precipitate formation results in a solid.
-
Balancing Chemical Equations: Adheres to the Law of Conservation of Mass; the number of atoms for each element must remain equal on both sides of the equation.
Acids and Bases
-
Acids: Substances that donate protons (H⁺ ions) in an aqueous solution.
-
Properties of Acids:
- Characteristically sour taste.
- Conduct electricity as electrolytes.
- React with metals to release hydrogen gas.
- Turn blue litmus paper to red.
-
Examples of Acids: Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).
-
Bases: Substances that accept protons or release hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in solution.

-
Neutralization Reaction: Involves an acid reacting with a base, producing salt and water. Example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O.
-
Indicators for pH: Substances that change color to show pH levels, such as litmus, phenolphthalein, and methyl orange.
