Study Notes

Reaction Rates and Factors

Chemical powders have a greater surface area than solid lumps, increasing the reaction rate due to more available surface for collisions.
Agitation or stirring of reactants accelerates particle movement, leading to more frequent collisions and a higher reaction rate.

Combustion Reactions

Combustion occurs when a fuel reacts with oxygen, producing heat and light.
Word equation for combustion: Fuel + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water.
Common examples include petrol in engines, burning wood, gas stoves, and fireworks.
Complete Combustion occurs with excess oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water.
Incomplete Combustion occurs with insufficient oxygen, resulting in carbon or carbon monoxide production.

Phase Changes

Condensation: Transition from gas to liquid when heat is removed, causing particles to slow and attract each other.
Solidification (Freezing): Transition from liquid to solid when heat is removed, fixing particles in place.
Sublimation: Direct transition from solid to gas as surface particles gain enough energy to overcome bonds.
Deposition: Direct transition from gas to solid when gas particles lose energy and bond together.

Boiling and Melting Points

Boiling point: Temperature at which a liquid turns into gas (Water: 100°C).
Melting point: Temperature at which a solid turns into liquid (Water: 0°C).

Properties of Matter

Properties are measurable qualities of matter, including color, density, volume, mass, strength, viscosity, compressibility, and hardness.
Strength: High tensile strength allows stretching without breaking (e.g., elastic bands), and high compressional strength withstands force (e.g., concrete).
To convert kilograms to grams, multiply by 1000.

Measuring Volume

Volume is measured in cubic centimeters (cm³) or milliliters (mL); 1 L = 1000 mL.

Density Calculations

Density formula: Density = Mass/Volume.
Calculations involve converting units and applying the formula to find unknowns.

Solutions and Diffusion

A solution is formed through the process of dissolving, resulting in a uniform mixture.
Diffusion: Mixing of gases or liquids without stirring, as particles move until evenly distributed (e.g., odors spreading in a room).

Atoms and Elements

Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter; they can be single or combined in molecules.
Elements consist of only one type of atom; there are 90 naturally occurring elements.
The Periodic Table displays elements with atomic numbers indicating the number of protons.

Physical and Chemical Changes

Physical Change: The appearance changes, but the same elements and compounds remain (e.g., ice melting).
Chemical Change: Involves a reaction creating new substances (e.g., rusting iron forming iron oxide).
Indicators of chemical change include gas production, irreversible color changes, heat, or light release.

Reactants and Products

Reactants are the starting substances in a chemical reaction, while products are formed at the end.
Atom count remains the same, but atoms rearrange to produce different substances (e.g., mixing sodium chloride and silver nitrate produces silver chloride and sodium nitrate).
