Study Notes
Motion and Forces
- Instantaneous Speed: Speed at a specific moment, measured by a speedometer.
- Velocity: Speed of an object in a specific direction.
- Acceleration: Change in speed over time, calculated with units of m/s²; uses final (V) and initial (u) velocities.
- Acceleration due to Gravity:
- Value is approximately 9.8 m/s².
- Falling objects accelerate towards Earth but experience air resistance, reducing acceleration to zero (terminal velocity).
Newton's Laws of Motion
- First Law: An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force; inertia is the resistance to change in motion.
- Second Law: Acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass (F = m*a).
- Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; forces exist in pairs.
Energy Concepts
- Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion, determined by the formula KE = ½ mv², where m is mass and v is velocity; measured in joules (J).
- Potential Energy: Energy stored due to position, calculated as PE = mgh (mass x gravity x height).
- Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred.
- Energy Efficiency: In energy transfers, some energy is lost as non-useful forms like heat.
Elements and Their Properties
- Group 2: Alkaline Earth Metals:
- Less reactive than Group 1, form +2 ions, shiny, low density, low melting and boiling points, react with hydrogen and water.
- Matter: Anything with mass that occupies space; conserved through physical and chemical changes.
- Law of Conservation of Matter: Total mass remains constant in chemical reactions.
- Group 14: Metalloids: Exhibit properties of both metals and non-metals, contain organic substances.
- Allotropes: Different forms of an element (e.g., carbon forms include graphite, diamond).
- Group 17: Halogens: Highly electronegative, exist as diatomic molecules, become larger and less reactive down the group.
- Group 18: Noble Gases: Colorless, stable, rarely react due to filled valence shells.
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical Equations: Represent reactants and products in reactions (Reactants → Products).
- Balanced Chemical Equations: Reflect conservation of atoms, with electrons gaining or losing charges to form ions.
- Acids and Bases:
- Acids: Produce H⁺ ions in water, sour, pH < 7, react with metals and carbonates.
- Bases: Produce OH⁻ ions in water, bitter, slippery, pH > 7, neutralize acids.
- Ionic Compounds: Formed by cations and anions in a neutral crystal lattice.
Rates of Chemical Reactions
- Factors affecting reaction rates include:
- Temperature: Higher temperatures increase particle speed and collision frequency.
- Concentration: More reactant particles lead to more collisions and reactions.
- Surface Area: Smaller pieces of reactants provide more area for reactions.
- Agitation: Stirring increases contact among reactants.
- Catalysts: Speed up reactions without being consumed, reduce necessary energy for reactions.
Reactions Involving Acids
- Neutralisation Reactions: Acids and bases react to form a salt and water.
- Acid and Metal Reactions: Create salt and hydrogen gas.
- Acid-Carbonate Reactions: Produce salt, water, and carbon dioxide.
