Copper (II) or Copper(I) Polyatomic Ion: an ion that is composed of more than one atom; groups of atoms that tend to stay together and carry and overall ionic charge Ternary Compound: a compound composed of three different elements

Remember diatomic molecules: HONC FBI or HONCl FBrI <- Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Chorine, Fluorine, Bromine, Iodine How to name molecular compounds: however many atoms are in each element you use the prefix that corresponds to the number -> Diphosphorus Pentasulphide = P2S5 Note: Prefix is not needed for first atom if its only 1 // i.e. Carbon Dioxide, not Monocarbon Dioxide

Molecule Prefixes
Mono1 Di2 Tri3 Tetra4 Penta 5 4.3 Law of Conservation of Mass: In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the products is always the same as the total mass of the reactants <- Antoine Dodson Lavoisier discovered this Reactant: a pure substance that undergoes a chemical change; the properties of the product are different from the properties of the reactants Chemical Reaction: a process in which new substances with new properties are formed Chemical Equation: a representation of what happens to the reactants and products during a chemical change Coefficient: a number that is placed in front of a chemical formula in a balanced chemical equation Hexa6 Hepta 7 Octa8 Nona9 Deca10

Examples of Types of Chemical Equations


Word Equation: Uses words, not chemical formulas hydrogen + oxygen -> water Skeleton Equation: Uses unbalanced chemical formulas H2 + O2 -> H2O Balanced Chemical Equation: Uses balanced chemical formulas 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O Remember States: (s), (l), (g), (aq) -> solid, liquid, gas, aqueous solution Practical Uses of the Conservation of Mass: Sometimes a chemical spill is cleaned up by adding another chemical which may also be toxic, so it is important to find out the exact amount of reactant needed so that no toxic chemical remains.

Also, industrial chemistry utilizes this to minimize wasted chemicals/reactants, which can save them large amounts of money if they have use a lot of chemicals. Also, wasted chemicals can be harmful to the environment.

5.1 Evidence of Chemical Change:

Formation of a gas Formation of a precipitate Change in colour/odour Production of light and heat Change is difficult to reverse

Precipitate: an insoluble solid formed in a chemical reaction.

Classifying Chemical Reactions


Synthesis Reaction: a chemical reaction in which two or more reactants combine to produce a new product A + B -> AB // ie. 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O (reaction used to propel space shuttle) Decomposition Reaction: a chemical reaction in which a compound breaks down (decomposes) into two or more simpler compounds or elements AB -> A + B // ie. 2H2O -> 2H2 + O2 (reaction used as hydrogen fuel source/electrolysis) Single Displacement Reaction: a chemical reaction in which one element takes the place of another element in a compound A + BC -> AC + B (A is a metal) // ie. Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2 A + BC -> BA + C (A is a non-metal) // F2 + 2NaI -> I2 + 2NaF Double Displacement Reaction: a chemical reaction in which the positive ions of two different compounds exchange places, resulting in the formation of two new compounds- one of which may be a precipitate AB + DC -> AD + CB // 2AgNO3 + K2CrO4 -> Ag2CrO + 2KNO3 Combustion: Hydrocarbon + Oxygen (O2) = Water (H2O) + Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 5.3 This ch. shows examples of the use of chemical reactions in environmental issues

Car exhaust sometimes doesnt fully combust and creates carbon monoxide and carbon soot. Catalyst: a substance that increases the rate of a reaction and is regenerated at the end of the reaction Catalytic converters in cars can change unburned gasoline into CO2(g) and H2O(g). Car exhaust also creates nitrogen oxides (NO(g) and NO2(g)) which can contribute to smog and the formation of ground level ozone (O3(g)).
This is the only example from the book I put.

6.1 Acid: a compound that produces hydrogen ions, H+(aq), when dissolved in water Forming Hydrogen Ions in Water: Acid dissolves in water and reacts with water to form hydrogen and -insert anion here- ions (ionization) e.g. Hydrogen chloride, when dissolved in water, reacts with the water to form ions, where the hydrogen ions and chlorine ions separate in the solution HCl(aq) -> H-(aq) + Cl-(aq) Binary Acid: an acid composed of hydrogen and a non-metal Naming Binary Acids: Classically: Hydro- + non-metal root + -ic // e.g. Hydrochloric Acid Hydrochloric Acid is naturally found in stomach acid IUPAC Modern Naming: Aqueous + Hydrogen + non-metal root + -ide // e.g. Aqueous Hydrogen Chloride It also is used in processing plastics and metals Oxoacid: an acid composed of hydrogen, oxygen, and another element or polyatomic ion Naming Oxoacids:
I made it look complicated but it really isnt lol

Anions that end in -ate: Classically: Replace -ate with -ic + acid // e.g. Sulfuric Acid H2SO4(aq) Sulfuric Acid is commonly used in most car batteries IUPAC Modern Naming:

Aqueous + Hydrogen + Anion // e.g. Aqueous Hydrogen Sulfate Anions that end in -ite: Classically: Replace -ite with -ous + acid // e.g. Sulfurous Acid H2SO3(aq) Sulfurous Acid is commonly used in disinfecting and bleaching IUPAC Modern Naming: Aqueous + Hydrogen + Anion // e.g. Aqueous Hydrogen Sulfite Base: a compound that forms hydroxide ions, OH-(aq), when dissolved in water Forming Hydroxide Ions in Water: Base dissolves in water to form hydroxide and -insert cation here- (dissociation) e.g. Sodium hydroxide, when dissolved in water, reacts with the water to form ions, where the sodium ions and hydroxide ions separate in the solution NaOH(aq) > Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) Naming Bases: Use ionic compound naming rules e.g. NaOH -> sodium hydroxide Used, sometimes in conjunction with Cl2 and H2 (e.g. purifying drinking water), to make paper, glass, and soap 6.2 pH scale: a numeric scale ranging from 0 to 14 that is used to classify aqueous solutions as acidic, basic, or neutral pH: the measure of the concentration of H+ ions in solutions Acidic Solutions: pH < 7 Greater number of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions in solution e.g. Lemons pH 2, hydrochloric acid (gastric fluids in stomach) pH between 1 and 2, milk pH 6 Basic Solutions: pH > 7 Greater number of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions in solution e.g. Oven cleaner pH 13, eggs pH 8 Neutral Solutions: pH = 7

Same number of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in solution e.g. Pure water, sodium chloride, sugar pH is a logarithmic scale, meaning that one unit on the scale is equivalent to a tenfold change in concentration -> pH 3 is 10x more acidic as pH 4 // pH 10 is 1000x less basic than pH 13 pH = -log10[H+] Exponential Form: by = x (e.g. 103 = 1000) Logarithmic Form: logbx = y (e.g. log101000 = 3 // In other words, 10 to the power of x is 1000, and x = 3) To find H+ concentration or pH from: H+ = 10-pH pH = -log10[H+] e.g. -> [H+] = 0.1 mol/L pH = -log10[0.1] = 1 Indicator: a chemical that changes colour as the concentrations of H+ or OHchanges i.e. red/blue litmus paper, pH meter, phenolphthalein, cabbage indicator, universal indicator (changes from red to blue for acid to base), etc.

Acid, Neutral, Base Comparison Chart Acid

sour produces H+ ions in solution pH < 7 red litmus colourless phenolphthalein corrosive conducts electricity most solutions are clear in appearance

do not produce H+ or OH- ion in solution pH = 7 does not change colour with cabbage indicator will not conduct electricity

bitter slippery feel produces OH- ions in solution pH > 7 blue litmus pink phenolphthalein conducts electricity most solutions are clear in appearance

Neutralization: the reaction of an acid and a base to produce a salt and water e.g. HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) -> H2O(l) + NaCl(aq) Salt: ionic compounds that result in the neutralization of an acid and a base // any ionic compound that is neither an acid or a base Note: Salts are usually is soluble in water and dont form precipitates Practical Application of Neutralizations: Antacids: to calm an over acidic stomach/heartburn To Neutralize Acid Spills: H2SO4(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) -> CaSo4(aq) + 2H2O(l) Acid Precipitation: Fumes from a cars engine create nitrogen oxides (NOX), which react with water to form acid e.g. NO2(g) + H2O(l) -> HNO3(aq) Also, sulphur oxides from industrial processes can cause acid precipitation in the form of sulphuric acid. // Scrubbers on stop of smoke stacks prevents this; turns SO2(g) into a solid which is then discarded Acid precipitation can change water pH and cause aquatic life to die and disrupt the food chain. Liming: the application of basic materials, typically lime-based (usually calcium carbonate), to renew acidified lakes and regions // liming can renew acidified lakes by making them more neutral Again, in this ch. there are more
environmental examples but Im not gonna put them on
