    Study Notes

    Acids and Bases

    • Acids have a pH less than 7 and can donate protons.
    • Alkalis, known as bases, have a pH above 7.0 and react with acids to form salts.

    Chemical Compounds and Properties

    • Alkanolamines are used to neutralize acids and increase pH in hair care products.
    • Ammonia is a colorless gas composed of hydrogen and nitrogen, known for its strong smell.
    • Anions are negatively charged ions, while cations are positively charged ions.

    Chemistry Fundamentals

    • An atom is the smallest component of an element and retains its chemical properties.
    • Chemical change refers to alterations in a substance's composition, resulting in new substances.
    • Chemical properties can only be determined through specific reactions and changes.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemistry studies the properties, composition, and transformations of matter.
    • Combustion is a rapid oxidation process producing heat and light.
    • Exothermic reactions release heat.

    Molecules and Mixtures

    • Compounds result from chemical combinations of two or more different atoms.
    • Elemental molecules consist of two or more atoms of the same element bonded together.
    • An emulsion is a mixture of immiscible liquids, where one is dispersed in the other.

    Ion Formation and Chemistry Types

    • Ionization separates an atom or molecule into positively and negatively charged ions.
    • Inorganic chemistry involves substances that typically lack carbon.
    • Organic chemistry focuses on carbon-containing chemicals.

    Physical and Chemical Changes

    • Oxidation combines an element with oxygen, forming an oxide, while reduction entails subtracting oxygen or adding hydrogen.
    • The pH scale expresses acidity and alkalinity, with a pH of 7 as neutral.
    • Physical changes do not alter the identity of a substance, while physical properties can be observed without changing it.

    Solutions and Suspensions

    • A solution is a homogenous mixture of substances with evenly distributed molecules.
    • A solute is the substance that dissolves, whereas a solvent is the medium that dissolves it.
    • Suspensions consist of water mixed with nondissolved materials.

    Emulsions and Miscibility

    • Oil-in-water emulsions contain oil droplets dispersed in water, while water-in-oil emulsions contain water droplets in oil.
    • Miscible substances can mix uniformly, while immiscible ones cannot.

    Other Key Terms

    • Lipophilic substances are oil-loving and attracted to fats, while hydrophilic substances are water-attracted.
    • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are carbon-containing substances that evaporate easily.
    • Surfactants help oil and water mix by acting as a bridge between them.

    Miscellaneous

    • Glycerin is a sweet, colorless, oily substance often used as a solvent and moisture-retaining agent in creams.
    • Physical mixtures combine matter in any proportions and can be separated without chemical reactions.
