(doesn't change) phenolphthalein remains colourless
what's the PH scale
measure of how basic or acidic a solution is, with 0 being extremely acidic, 14 extremely basic and 7 neutral
what's solubility?
ability of substance to dissolve in a certain solvent
what's a precipitate?
insoluble substances ( a solid)
what's dissociation?
the splitting of ions of an ionic compound in water
what happens to the crystal lattice structure in dissociation?
the lattice breaks apart and ions are free to move around in solvent
what can happen when two ionic compounds are placed in water?
a precipitate can form between the free ions of the compounds
what's an exothermic reaction
where there's a release of energy and energy is a product
what's an endothermic reaction?
where there's an absorption of energy and energy is a reactant
the breaking of bonds is _____________?
endothermic
the forming of new chemical bonds is_______________?
exothermic
what's the law of conservation of energy
energy can be converted into different forms, BUT the total energy of the universe stays the same
what's the law of conservation of mass
total mass of reacting ( reactants) substances is always equal to the mass of resulting (products) substances
what are the exceptions to the acid naming rules?
organic compounds ( made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen mainly) - when writing formula don't have to start with hydrogen
sulfur ( add "ur" before the "ic" or "ous" when classically naming)
phosphorus ( add "or" before the "ic" or "ous" when classically naming) chemical reaction
chemical reaction
a reaction that happens due to one or more substances changing to form different substances
involves a change of energy (ex; temp change, emission of light, emission of sound, electrical energy)
chemical change
one or more substances changing to form different substances
how to know if a chemical change has occurred?
two of more of the evidences are apparent: odour change, colour change, formation of a gas, formation of a precipitate, etc
what's the best indicator of chemical reaction
a new substance is formed and cannot be reversed
in chemical reactions what needs to happen to energy?
be either absorbed or released
in a chemical equation the arrow signifies what?
the direction a reaction is going from the reactants and the products
chemical equations consist of ?
3 parts... reactants, products and the arrow that separates them
what are reactants in a chemical equation?
the ingredients of a chemical reaction (always on the left side)
what are products in a chemical equation?
the chemicals formed FROM the reactants ( always on the right side)
