What does the law of conservation of mass state?
- The total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products in ANY chemical reaction
- One side must weigh the same as the other side of the chemical equation.
- Matter is neither created nor destroyed
Add any details
what is a Chemical property?
Chemical property: description of what a substance does as it changes into one or more new substances
What is a physical Property?
Physical Property : description of a substance that DOESNT involve the formation of a new substance.
* Description of a substance; e.g texture, density, smell, solubility, taste, melting, point, physical state, etc.
Define a physical change
Physical change: DOES NOT produce a new substance.
Many physical changes CAN be reversed.
E.G. Changes of state and dissolving or example of physical changes.
Lesson 5.1: Properties and Changes
Define a chemical change
Chemical change: A change a substance goes through to produce a new substance (or more than one new substance).
These changes CANNOT be reversed
Examples of chemical changes:
* Iron rusting
* Acid reacting with magnesium to produce hydrogen gas
Give the clues that a chemical change occured
there are 5 clues that show a chemical change occured
Draw a lewis structure in notebook or practice worksheet
what are the 3 bond types?
prartial charges: polar
What is the PH scale?
PH scale: A measure of how acidic or basic a solution is
Lesson 7.3: PH scale
Defenifiton of PH
PH: A measure of how acidic or basic a solution is
Lesson 7.3: PH scale
What is the PH scale?
PH scale: Numerical scale ranging from 0-14 that is used to compare the acidity of solutions
Lesson 7.3: PH scale
What goes at the bottom of the PH scale? Why?
Lesson 7.3: PH scale
What goes at the top of the PH scale? Why?
Lesson 7.3: PH scale
What is an Acidic solution?
Acids
* Acids are MOLECULAR compounds
* All acids release at least ONE hydrogen ion when they dissolve in water
* Low PH (0-6)
* More hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions
Lesson 7.3: PH scale
Give the properties of an Acidic solution
Acid properties
* Conductive
* Reacts with magnesium
* Reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate (vineger + baking soda)
* Colour with bromothymol blue indicator- YELLOW
* Effect on red litmus paper- RED
* Effect on blue litmus paper- RED
Lesson 7.3: PH scale
What is a basic solution?
Bases
* Bases are IONIC compounds
* Bases contaion HYDROXIDE (OH) or carbonate ions
* High PH (8-14)
* More hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions
List the properties of a basic solution
Basic properties
* NOT Conductive
* DOES NOT React with magnesium
* DOES NOT react with sodium hydrogen carbonate
* Colour with bromothymol blue indicator- BLUE
* Effect on red litmus paper- BLUE
* Effect on blue litmus paper- BLUE
Is the PH of an acid high or low? what is the range?
Is the PH of a base high or low? what is the range?
What is a neutral solution? What is the PH of it?
What makes a solution neutral?
The concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions are equal
Which ions make a solution neutral and how?
When the concentration of hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions are equal
Lesson 5:5: Atoms and Ions
Q: Lewis diagrams ONLY show [……..] of an atom
Lewis diagrams ONLY show {the valence electrons} of an atom
Lesson 5:5: Atoms and Ions
What can you use lewis structures for?
To show the bonds in covalent and ionic compounds
