Science
● Physical​ ​and​ ​chemical​ ​changes
Physical​ ​Changes
- No​ ​new​ ​chemicals​ ​are​ ​formed
- Chemical​ ​makeup​ ​is​ ​the​ ​same​ ​but​ ​the​ ​appearance​ ​looks​ ​different
- Change​ ​in​ ​size,​ ​shape​ ​or​ ​state
- Easily​ ​reversed​ ​e
...
​ ​Water​ ​can​ ​be​ ​frozen​ ​into​ ​ice,​ ​it​ ​can​ ​also​ ​be​ ​turned​ ​back​ ​into​ ​a​ ​liquid
- Affects​ ​the​ ​state​ ​of​ ​a​ ​substance​ ​but​ ​not​ ​its​ ​chemical​ ​composition
- Reversible
Chemical​ ​Changes
- Chemical​ ​change​ ​–​ ​produces​ ​a​ ​new​ ​substance,​ ​generally​ ​not​ ​reversible​ ​since​ ​chemical​ ​bonds
are​ ​formed​ ​or​ ​broken
...

...

- Results​ ​in​ ​the​ ​formation​ ​of​ ​at​ ​least​ ​one​ ​new​ ​substance
Signs​ ​of​ ​chemical​ ​change:
- Size
- Changes​ ​in​ ​smell
- Heat​ ​released
- Change​ ​in​ ​colour
- Change​ ​of​ ​state​ ​(can’t​ ​be​ ​reversed)
- Cloudy​ ​substance
- Noise
- Precipitation
● Exothermic/endothermic​ ​reactions​ ​and​ ​combustion/corrosion​ ​reactions
Exothermic​ ​Reaction​ ​-​ ​chemical​ ​reaction​ ​that​ ​releases​​ ​energy​ ​by​ ​light​ ​or​ ​heat
Endothermic​ ​Reaction​ ​-​ ​any​ ​chemical​ ​reaction​ ​that​ absorbs​​ ​heat​ ​from​ ​the​ ​environment

-​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​Combustion​ ​=​ ​a​ ​high​ ​temperature​ ​chemical​ ​reaction​ ​in​ ​which​ ​fuel​ ​(e
...
​ ​methane)​ ​reacts​ ​with
oxidant​ ​and​ ​produces​ ​heat​ ​and​ ​light
...
g
...

These​ ​occur​ ​because​ ​the​ ​reactant​ ​carbon​ ​has​ ​not​ ​been​ ​chemically​ ​combined​ ​with
oxygen
-​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​Complete​ ​combustion:
o​ ​ ​ ​Occurs​ ​when​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​constant​ ​and​ ​adequate​ ​supply​ ​of​ ​oxygen​ ​and​ ​sufficient
temperature
o​ ​ ​ ​Limited​ ​number​ ​of​ ​products​ ​are​ ​released
o​ ​ ​ ​Release​ ​carbon​ ​dioxide,​ ​water​ ​and​ ​energy

Corrosion​ ​(rusting​ ​of​ ​a​ ​refined​ ​metal)
o​ ​ ​ ​Deterioration​ ​of​ ​a​ ​metal​ ​as​ ​a​ ​result​ ​of​ ​the​ ​chemical​ ​reactions​ ​between​ ​it​ ​and​ ​the
surrounding​ ​environment
o​ ​ ​ ​E
...
​ ​Iron​ ​reacts​ ​with​ ​water​ ​and​ ​oxygen​ ​to​ ​form​ ​a​ ​new​ ​chemical​ ​on​ ​the​ ​surface​ ​of​ ​the
metal​ ​called​ ​iron​ ​oxide
​ ​Word​ ​equations:
Complete​ ​=​ ​hydrocarbon​ ​+​ ​oxygen​ ​→​ ​ ​carbon​ ​dioxide​ ​+​ ​water
CH4​ ​+​ ​O2​ ​→​ ​CO2​ ​+​ ​H2O
Incomplete​ ​=​ ​hydrocarbon​ ​+​ ​oxygen​ ​→​ ​carbon​ ​dioxide​ ​+​ ​water​ ​+​ ​carbon​ ​monoxide​ ​+​ ​carbon​ ​(soot)
CH4​ ​+​ ​O2​ ​→​ ​CO2​ ​+​ ​H2O​ ​+​ ​CO​ ​+​ ​C
Corrosion​ ​=​ ​iron​ ​+​ ​oxygen​ ​→​ ​ ​iron​ ​oxide​ ​(rust)

Conservation​ ​of​ ​Mass
Law​ ​of​ ​conservation​ ​of​ ​mass​ ​states​ ​that​ ​mass​ ​can​ ​neither​ ​be​ ​created​ ​nor​ ​destroyed​ ​in​ ​a
chemical​ ​reaction
But​ ​can​ ​change​ ​from​ ​one​ ​form​ ​to​ ​another
Matter​ ​is​ ​therefore​ ​neither​ ​created​ ​nor​ ​destroyed,​ ​just​ ​transformed​ ​into​ ​different​ ​forms
Recall​ ​to​ ​prac​ ​same​ ​grams​ ​before​ ​and​ ​after​ ​the​ ​chemical​ ​reaction
MASS​ ​DOESN'T​ ​CHANGE​ ​DURING​ ​A​ ​CHEMICAL​ ​REACTION
Atom​ ​Structure
All​ ​matter​ ​is​ ​made​ ​of​ ​atoms
In​ ​a​ ​chemical​ ​reaction​ ​there​ ​is​ ​no​ ​loss​ ​or​ ​gain​ ​of​ ​atoms
Basis​ ​of​ ​everything​ ​in​ ​the​ ​universe
Made​ ​up​ ​of​ ​a​ ​nucleus​ ​and​ ​electron​ ​shells
Protons​ ​and​ ​neutrons​ ​are​ ​in​ ​the​ ​nucleus
Electrons​ ​surround​ ​the​ ​nucleus

Charges:
-

Proton​ ​=​ ​Positive​ ​(+)
Neutrons​ ​=​ ​Neutral
Electrons​ ​=​ ​Negative​ ​(-)

-

Number​ ​of​ ​protons​ ​in​ ​an​ ​atom​ ​is​ ​called​ ​the​ ​atomic​ ​number
E
...
​ ​Oxygen​ ​has​ ​an​ ​atomic​ ​number​ ​of​ ​8​ ​(and​ ​is​ ​the​ ​8th​ ​on​ ​the​ ​periodic​ ​table)​ ​because​ ​it
has​ ​8​ ​protons
...
”​ ​Atoms
are​ ​like​ ​plum
puddings,​ ​with
positive​ ​protons
and​ ​negative
electrons
embedded​ ​in​ ​a
sphere
...

Neutrons​ ​have​ ​no
electrical​ ​charge
and​ ​the​ ​same
mass​ ​as​ ​protons

Organisation​ ​of​ ​the​ ​periodic​ ​table​ ​(group​ ​and​ ​period​ ​number​ ​and​ ​the​ ​electron​ ​con
guration)​ ​1st​ ​20​ ​elements
Period​ ​number​ ​is​ ​related​ ​to​ ​the​ ​ROW​ ​of​ ​the​ ​periodic​ ​table​ ​and​ ​number​ ​of​ ​electron​ ​shells
Group​ ​number​ ​is​ ​related​ ​to​ ​the​ ​number​ ​of​ ​electrons​ ​in​ ​the​ ​outermost​ ​shell
P​ ​=​ ​R​ ​(period​ ​=​ ​row,​ ​going​ ​across)
G​ ​=​ ​C​ ​(group​ ​=​ ​column,​ ​going​ ​down)

RULE:
● First​ ​shell​ ​maximum​ ​of​ ​two​ ​electrons
● Second​ ​shell​ ​maximum​ ​of​ ​8​ ​electrons
● Third​ ​shell​ ​maximum​ ​of​ ​8​ ​electrons​ ​for​ ​the​ ​first​ ​20​ ​elements
EXAMPLE:

Neutralisation​ ​reactions:​ ​Acid​ ​+​ ​Base​ ​=>​ ​salt​ ​+​ ​water​ ​and​ ​Acid​ ​+​ ​Metal​ ​Oxide​ ​=>
salt​ ​+​ ​water
Acid​ ​base​ ​reaction:
Acid​ ​+​ ​base​ ​→​ ​salt​ ​+​ ​water
Acid​ ​+​ ​metallic​ ​oxide​ ​→​ ​salt​ ​+​ ​water
Acid​ ​+​ ​carbonate​ ​→​ ​salt​ ​+​ ​water​ ​+​ ​carbon​ ​dioxide​ ​gas
Acid​ ​+​ ​bicarbonate​ ​→​ ​salt​ ​+​ ​water​ ​+​ ​carbon​ ​dioxide​ ​gas
- Neutralisation​ ​is​ ​a​ ​reaction​ ​in​ ​which​ ​an​ ​acid​ ​and​ ​a​ ​base​ ​cancel​ ​each​ ​other​ ​out​ ​to​ ​form​ ​a
salt​ ​and​ ​water
- To​ ​neutralise​ ​an​ ​acid​ ​you​ ​add​ ​a​ ​base,​ ​and​ ​to​ ​neutralise​ ​a​ ​base​ ​you​ ​add​ ​an​ ​acid
- Acid​ ​+​ ​base​ ​→​ ​salt​ ​+​ ​water
- In​ ​the​ ​process​ ​of​ ​neutralisation,​ ​a​ ​chemical​ ​change​ ​may​ ​occur
- Acids​ ​and​ ​bases​ ​cancel​ ​eachother​ ​out​ ​to​ ​form​ ​salt​ ​and​ ​water

Acids​ ​and​ ​bases​ ​(common​ ​properties​ ​of​ ​each)​ ​and​ ​pH​ ​scale​ ​and​ ​indicators
Alkalis​ ​is​ ​a​ ​base​ ​that​ ​is​ ​soluble​ ​in​ ​water​ ​(can​ ​dissolve)
Strong​ ​Alkali​ ​can​ ​cause​ ​chemical​ ​burns
Alkali​ ​feels​ ​slippery​ ​or​ ​like​ ​soap​ ​when​ ​you​ ​touch​ ​it
Acids​ ​can​ ​react​ ​with​ ​a​ ​base
Acids​ ​have​ ​a​ ​sour​ ​taste

Sodium​ ​bicarbonate​ ​-​ ​baking
soda
Sodium​ ​hypochlorite​ ​-​ ​bleach
Aluminium​ ​hydroxide​ ​deodorant

H​ ​(hydrogen)​ ​ions​ ​=​ ​acidic
OH​ ​(hydroxide)​ ​ions​ ​=​ ​basic
Indicators:
- Phendophthalein
- Universal​ ​Indicator
- Methyl​ ​Orange
- Blue​ ​Litmus​ ​Paper
- Red​ ​Litmus​ ​Paper
PH​ ​Indicator:
- Ph​ ​is​ ​a​ ​measure​ ​of​ ​how​ ​many​ ​H​ ​(hydrogens)​ ​and​ ​OH​ ​(hydroxide)​ ​ions​ ​there​ ​are​ ​in​ ​a
solution
- If​ ​there​ ​are​ ​lots​ ​of​ ​H​ ​ions​ ​the​ ​substances​ ​is​ ​acidic​ ​and​ ​if​ ​there​ ​are​ ​lots​ ​of​ ​OH​ ​ions​ ​the
solution​ ​is​ ​basic
- So,​ ​water​ ​being​ ​neutral​ ​has​ ​equal​ ​hydrogen​ ​and​ ​hydroxide​ ​ions

Word​ ​equations​ ​-​ ​reactants​ ​and​ ​products
Chemists​ ​use​ ​a​ ​certain​ ​set​ ​of​ ​conventions​ ​(or​ ​rules)​ ​to​ ​write​ ​chemical​ ​equations

● Factors​ ​affecting​ ​rates​ ​of​ ​reactions
Surface​ ​Area:
- The​ ​larger​ ​the​ ​surface​ ​area,​ ​the​ ​faster​ ​the​ ​rate​ ​of​ ​reaction​ ​(increasing​ ​surface​ ​area​ ​of
solid​ ​reactant)
- If​ ​a​ ​substance​ ​is​ ​cut​ ​into​ ​smaller​ ​pieces​ ​or​ ​in​ ​a​ ​powder,​ ​more​ ​particles​ ​are​ ​exposed​ ​to
the​ ​other​ ​reactant
Temperature:
- The​ ​higher​ ​the​ ​temperature​ ​the​ ​faster​ ​the​ ​rate​ ​of​ ​reaction
- Increasing​ ​the​ ​temperature​ ​increases​ ​reaction​ ​rates​ ​because​ ​of​ ​the​ ​increase​ ​in​ ​the
number​ ​of​ ​high​ ​energy​ ​collisions

...
​ ​Mass​ ​has​ ​a​ ​gravitational​ ​field,​ ​the​ ​force​ ​of​ ​gravity​ ​is​ ​not​ ​the
same​ ​on​ ​every​ ​object

- This​ ​is​ ​the​ ​faint​ ​background​ ​radiation​ ​that​ ​astronomers​ ​detect​ ​with​ ​sensitive​ ​radio
telescopes
- Universe​ ​was​ ​initially​ ​foggy​ ​-​ ​from​ ​hot​ ​hydrogen​ ​plasma
- As​ ​the​ ​universe​ ​expanded,​ ​it​ ​cooled,​ ​stable​ ​atoms​ ​formed​ ​and​ ​the​ ​fog​ ​cleared
- The​ ​CMB​ ​is​ ​the​ ​left​ ​over​ ​from​ ​that​ ​initial​ ​fog​ ​-​ ​the​ ​after​ ​glow
