Flashcards

What is a synthesis reaction?

A chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product. Often involves the release of energy (exothermic).

What is a decomposition reaction?

A chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. Often requires energy input to occur.

What is a single replacement reaction?

A chemical reaction where one element or compound replaces another element or compound in a compound. Often involves the exchange of ions in the reaction.

What is a double replacement reaction?

A chemical reaction where two compounds react to form two new compounds. Often involves the exchange of ions between the reacting compounds.

Study Notes

Unknown Liquids Data

  • Students investigated if unknown liquids are acids or bases
  • Dependent variable: color change of Litmus paper
  • Independent variable : pH of the unknown liquid
  • Constant: Litmus Paper indicator

Compounds and Elements

  • Compound: a pure substance with two or more elements bonded together
  • Element: the purest form of matter, cannot be broken down further

Identifying Substances

  • Examples of elements: H2
  • Examples of compounds: H2O, 2C6H12O6, NaCl, 3CuSO4
  • Example of a mixture: Air
  • Note: Different compounds have different numbers of atoms of each type (e.g., water has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom).

pH Scale

  • Substances on the pH scale:
    • Distilled water (pH 7.0): neutral
    • Battery acid (pH 1.5): acid
    • Milk (pH 8.5): base
    • Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) (pH 13.0): base

Properties of Acids and Bases

  • Acid properties: sour taste, rough, conduct electricity, react with bases, pH less than 7
  • Base properties: bitter taste, slippery, conduct electricity, react with acids, pH greater than 7

Atom Inventory

  • Compound examples (and atom count):
    • 4H2O: Hydrogen -8, Oxygen -4
    • 2C6H12O6: Hydrogen - 24, Carbon - 12, Oxygen - 12
    • NaCl: Sodium - 1, Chlorine - 1
    • 3CuSO4: Copper - 3, Sulfur - 3, Oxygen - 12

Chemical Equations

  • 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + O2: reactants are 6CO2 and 6H2O; products are C6H12O6 and O2
  • CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O: balanced equation
  • C3H8 + 5O2 → 4H2O + 3CO2: balanced equation

Law of Conservation of Mass

  • The mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products in a chemical reaction.

Physical and Chemical Changes

  • Physical change examples: ice melting, salt dissolving in water, changing the color of water, cutting a piece of paper
  • Chemical change examples: burning wood, mixing baking soda and vinegar, iron rusting, copper turning green

Types of Reactions

  • Exothermic reaction : releases heat to surroundings
  • Endothermic reaction: absorbs heat from the surroundings

pH Ranges

  • Acid pH range: 0 - 6.9
  • Base pH range: greater than 7

Neutral Substances

  • Neutral substance pH: 7

Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids

  • Properties of metals: luster (shiny), good conductors, ductile, malleable, solid at room temperature (some exceptions)
  • Properties of nonmetals: dull, poor conductors, brittle, may be gases at room temperature, sometimes solid

Types of Bonds

  • Ionic bond: forms between metals and nonmetals (electrons transferred)
  • Covalent bond: forms between nonmetals and nonmetals (electrons shared)

Ions

  • Ion: a charged atom.
  • Cation: positively charged ion
  • Anion: negatively charged ion

Isotopes

  • Isotopes: atoms of the same element with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
