Study Notes
Respiration in Plants
- Respiration in plants occurs throughout the day
- Photosynthesis in plants occurs only during the daytime in the presence of sunlight
Types of Respiration
-
Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen
- takes place in mitochondria
- end products are carbon dioxide and water
- more energy is released
- examples include most plants and animals
-
Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen
- takes place in cytoplasm
- end products are alcohol or lactic acid
- less energy is released
- examples include muscles, bacteria, yeast, and parasitic worms
Human Respiratory System
- provides fresh oxygen to all body cells and removes carbon dioxide
- consists of nostrils, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, blood capillaries, and lungs
- Breathing involves inspiration (breathing in) and expiration (breathing out)
Inspiration
- The path followed by fresh air is:
- External nares → Nasal cavity → Internal nares → Pharynx → Glottis → Larynx → Trachea → Bronchi → Bronchioles → Alveolar duct → Alveoli
Expiration
- The path followed by foul air is:
- Alveoli → Alveolar duct → Bronchioles → Bronchi → Trachea → Larynx → Glottis → Pharynx → Internal nares → Nasal cavities → External nares → Outside
- Alveoli are richly supplied with blood and are the sites where gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) occurs between blood and the atmosphere
- In humans, haemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to different tissues of the body
Precipitation Reactions
- When an aqueous solution of sodium sulphate is mixed with an aqueous solution of barium chloride, barium sulphate forms a white precipitate
- The chemical equation for the process is: Na2SO4 (aq)+BaCl2(aq) → BaSO4(↓)+2NaCl(aq)
Chemical Equations
- Chemical equations are a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and formulae
- They provide a concise and informative way to represent chemical reactions
- For example: Magnesium + Oxygen → Magnesium oxide (Reactants) (Product)
- This is called a word equation
- The word equation can be replaced with a chemical equation that uses symbols and formulae instead of names: 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
Writing Chemical Equations
- The symbols of elements and the formulae of reacting substances (reactants) are written on the left side of the equation with a plus (+) sign between them
- The symbols and formulae of the substances formed (products) are written on the right side of the equation with a plus (+) sign between them
- An arrow sign (→) is placed between the reactants and the products
- The physical states of the reactants and products are also mentioned in a chemical equation
Skeletal Chemical Equations
- A skeletal chemical equation simply represents the symbols and formulas of reactants and products involved in the reaction
- For example, the skeletal equation for the burning of Magnesium in the air is: Mg + O2 → MgO
Balanced Equations
- Balanced equations have the same number of atoms of various elements on both sides of the equation, in accordance with the law of conservation of mass
- Rust is hydrated Iron (III) oxide, i.e., Fe2O3.xH2O
Prevention of Corrosion
- Painting, oiling, greasing, galvanizing, and making alloys are all methods of preventing corrosion
- Galvanization is the process of coating iron with zinc
- The oxide formed from galvanization is impervious to air and moisture, protecting the iron from further corrosion
-
Alloys are homogeneous mixtures of metals with metals and non-metals
- Examples include:
- Stainless steel (iron, nickel, chromium)
- Brass (copper and zinc)
- Bronze (copper and tin)
- Solder (lead and tin)
- Examples include:
-
Amalgam is an alloy where one of the metals is mercury
- Examples include sodium amalgam and silver amalgam
Carbon Compounds
- Carbon is a non-metal with the symbol C
- Carbon is a versatile element
- The percentage of carbon present in the earth's crust as minerals is 0.02%, and in the atmosphere as CO2 is 0.03%
- All living things, like plants and animals, are made up of carbon-based compounds
- Carbon always forms covalent bonds
- The atomic number of carbon is 6
- Electronic configuration: K L C (6) 2 4
- To form ionic bonds, carbon molecules must either gain or lose 4 electrons, which requires a lot of energy
- Carbon can form bonds by sharing its electrons with other carbon atoms or with other elements to attain a noble gas configuration
- Atoms of other elements, such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and chlorine, also form bonds by sharing electrons
Structure of Soap Molecules
- A soap molecule has:
- an ionic (hydrophilic) part
- a long hydrocarbon chain (hydrophobic) part
Ester
- Esters are generally sweet-smelling substances produced by the reaction of an acid, such as ethanoic acid, and an alcohol, such as ethanol, in the presence of an acid catalyst
- They are used in making perfumes and as flavoring agents
Cleansing Action of Soap
- Most dirt is oily in nature
- The hydrophobic end of soap molecules attaches to dirt, while the ionic end is surrounded by water molecules
- This results in the formation of a radial structure called a micelle
- Soap micelles help dissolve dirt and grease in water, cleaning the cloth
- Magnesium and calcium salts present in hard water react with soap molecules to form an insoluble product called scum
- Scum makes it difficult for soap to clean effectively
- Detergents do not form insoluble scum with hard water, so clothes can be cleaned effectively
