Study Notes

Potassium Chlorate Experiment

  • Heating potassium chlorate produces oxygen gas.

pH Scale

  • Measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.

Nuclear Reactors

  • Main purpose: create energy through nuclear fission.

Significant Figures

  • Rounding 4.756 to two significant figures results in 4.8.

Protons in an Atom

  • Protons are located in the nucleus of an atom.

Crystal Growth

  • Factors affecting crystal size include the temperature of the solution.

Oxidation

  • Defined as the loss of electrons from a substance.

Sodium Nitrate in Water

  • Sodium nitrate dissolves into sodium ions and nitrate ions.

Electrical Current

  • Current refers to the flow of electric charge.

Voltage Definition

  • Voltage is the pressure that pushes electrons through a circuit.

Mixing Solutions

  • A solid formed from mixed solutions is called a precipitate.

Supersaturated Solutions

  • A solution is supersaturated if it has dissolved more solute than it can normally hold.

Crystal Structure

  • Atoms in a crystal structure are arranged in an ordered and repeating pattern.

SI Unit for Mass

  • The SI unit for mass is the kilogram.

Gravity

  • Best defined as a force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

Density and Mass-Volume Increase

  • If both mass and volume of an object increase equally, its density stays the same.

Catalyst Role

  • A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed.

Exothermic Reactions

  • Define reactions that release heat.

Decomposition of Compounds

  • A decomposing compound breaks down into simpler substances.

Solid Material After Reactions

  • The solid left behind after a reaction is referred to as a precipitate or residue.

Static Electricity

  • Occurs when electric charges accumulate on the surface of a material.

Example of Static Discharge

  • A lightning bolt exemplifies static discharge.

Conductors

  • Conductors, such as copper, allow electricity to pass through them.

SI Unit for Electric Current

  • The SI unit for measuring electric current is the ampere.

pH in Daily Life

  • pH helps identify dangerous substances in food and water.

Mass Density Comparison

  • Different materials can have different densities, explaining mass variations despite similar sizes.

Noble Gases Reactivity

  • Noble gases are stable due to full electron shells, making them less reactive.
