The effects of impurities on the physical properties of water


Impurities(dissolved substances) : Influence the freezing point, melting point and boiling point of water. Increase the boiling point of water. Decrease the freezing/melting point of water.

5.2 Composition of Water


1) Water is a compound that is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. 2) The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2 : 1.

3) Water can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen through the process of ________________.

Cathode : connected to negative terminal (hydrogen) Anode : connected to positive terminal (oxygen)

1. Cobalt chloride paper changes from BLUE to PINK. 2. Anhydrous copper sulphate changes from WHITE to BLUE.

5.3 Evaporation of Water


Evaporation : A process where a liquid turns into ____ at any temperature below its boiling point.

Factors affecting evaporation:


1. Temperature Evaporation becomes faster at higher temperature 2. Wind (air movement) Wind carry away the water molecules and increase the rate of evaporation 3. Humidity Evaporation become slower when humidity is high 4. Surface area Evaporation increases when the surface area is large

Evaporation

Boiling Heat is absorbed

Liquids become gases Takes place at any Takes place at boiling temperature at any time point

Takes place only on the surface of water A slow process

Takes place throughout the water A fast process

Application of evaporation in daily life

Which clothes dry faster?

Larger surface area enables more water molecules to escape into the air.

5.4 Solution and Solubility


Solvent : A _________ that is used to dissolve a substance. Solute : The _____________ that dissolve in a solvent. Solution : The ___________ that is formed from a solvent and a solute.

The Solubility of a Solute


1. Is the number of grams of solute that can dissolve in 100 cm of water at a specific temperature to form a saturated solution. 2. Solubility = mass of solute (g) 100cm of solvent 3. Factors affecting solubility: Nature of __________ solute Nature of __________ Temperature ______________

Factors affecting the rate of solubility:


1. ______ of solute The smaller the size of the solute, the faster it dissolves in a solvent. 2. Temperature _______________ of solvent The rate of dissolving increases at higher temperature 3. Stirring __________ The faster the rate of stirring, the faster the solute dissolves Volume of solvent 4. __________ The rate of dissolving increases when the volume increases.

Water is

Why?

Because many types of substances can dissolve in water.

It can dissolve mineral salts, alcohol, glycerin, glucose, detergents, oxygen, etc.

5.5 Acids and Alkalis

Acid?

A chemical substances that has a hydrogen atom, which can be replaced by a metal or ammonium.

Acids exist in 3 states: -Solid : tartaric acid - Liquid : ethanoic acid - Gas : hydrogen chloride

The properties of acids

g) Acid + alkali

Acids
Organic acids
Source : Living things and plants Weak acids Less corrosive Example: Formic acids (ants) Lactic acid ( sour milk) Malic acid (young apple) Tannic acid (tea) Tartaric acid (grapes)

Inorganic acids (mineral acids)


Source: rocks and minerals Strong acids Very corrosive Example : Sulphuric acid Nitric acid Hydrocloric acid Carbonic acid
