    Study Notes

    Displacement Reactions

    • Displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound.
    • Example reaction:
      • Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
      • Iron displaces copper from copper sulfate solution.
    • Other displacement reaction examples:
      • Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
      • Pb(s) + CuCl2(aq) → PbCl2(aq) + Cu(s)

    Reaction of Metallic Oxides with Acids

    • Mixing copper oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid produces a blue-green solution of copper(II) chloride.
    • General reaction:
      • Metal oxide + Acid → Salt + Water
    • Metallic oxides are classified as basic oxides due to their reaction with acids.

    Reaction of Non-metallic Oxides with Bases

    • Non-metallic oxides react with bases (e.g., carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide) to produce water and salts.
    • This reaction demonstrates the acidic nature of non-metallic oxides.

    Properties of Acids and Bases

    • All acids generate hydrogen gas when reacting with metals (e.g., metal + acid → salt + H2).
    • Ions, particularly H+ ions, are responsible for the acidic properties of substances.
    • Acids, when dissolved in water, produce ions indicative of their acidity.

    Chemical Reactions Overview

    • Chemical equations must represent the conservation of mass, and thus must be balanced.
    • Types of reactions include:
      • Combination reactions: Two or more substances form one compound.
      • Decomposition reactions: One substance breaks down into two or more products.
      • Exothermic reactions: Heat is released.
      • Endothermic reactions: Heat is absorbed.
      • Oxidation-reduction reactions involve the transfer of oxygen and hydrogen.

    Conductivity of Solutions

    • Acids conducted electricity due to the presence of ions, whereas glucose and alcohol solutions did not.
    • A bulb connected in an electric circuit glows if acids are present in the solution, indicating ion flow.

    Common Acids and Bases

    • Strongly acidic substances have a low pH (e.g., hydrochloric acid).
    • Neutral substances have a pH of approximately 7.
    • Weakly acidic and alkaline substances have pH values that are closer to neutral.

    Reactions Involving Acids and Metals

    • Reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and metals like iron produces hydrogen gas and salt.
    • General reaction format:
      • Metal + Acid → Salt + Hydrogen

    Importance of Ionization

    • Acids need water to produce H+ ions, which are essential for their acidic nature.
    • Distilled water does not conduct electricity due to a lack of ions, while rainwater does contain impurities that lead to conductivity.

    Practical Applications

    • When testing solutions with universal indicators, pH values can be categorized to determine their nature.
    • Solutions tested include alkaline, acidic, and neutral based on pH and ion concentrations.

    Laboratory Safety

    • Mixing concentrated acids or bases with water must be done cautiously, as it is exothermic and can lead to splashes.
