Combining the type and level of hazards creates HHPS

Three levels: There are 3 levels of hazards, each more harmful than the previous

Four types: There are 4 different types of hazards

Poisonous, Explosive, Corrosive, Flammable

There are 12 HHPS representing different types and levels of hazard

Acids and Bases

The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a solution is

The strength of an acid or base may be measured on the pH scale. The scale runs from 0-14

Example: an acid that is a pH 5 is 10 times stronger than an acid of pH 6 etc.

Strong and Weak

Some acids and bases are much stronger (Have a high concentration of ions in solution than others)

Eg: Nitric acid is a strong acid; ammonia is a weak base

Examples of Bases

Ammonia NH3

Sodium Bicarbonate NaHCO3

Aluminum Hydroxide Al(OH)3

Calcium Hydroxide Ca(OH)2

Sodium hydroxide NaOH

Examples of Acids

Hydrochloric Acid (In your digestive system) HCL

Carbonic Acid (In soft drinks) H2CO3

Citric Acid (In citrus fruit) H3C6H5O7

Acetic Acid (in Vinegar) HC2H3O2

Water is neutral (7)

Anything above 7 is a base

The closer the pH is to 7 the weaker the base

Anything below 7 is an acid

The closer the pH is to 7, the weaker the acid

Indicators

It is possible to test the pH of a solution using indicators, eg: litmus paper

Red litmus paper turns blue in a base and remains red in neutral or acidic solutions

Blue litmus paper turns red in an acid and remains blue in neutral or alkaline solutions

Properties of Acids

Tastes sour Are corrosive (reacts with metals to produce hydrogen gas) Release hydrogen ions (H+) in solution

Naming Acids

(hydrogen + a single element) are called hydro__ic acids

Eg: H2S is Hydrosulphuric acid

Properties of Bases

Taste bitter Feels slippery Are corrosive (break down proteins) Release hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution

Rules for writing ionic formulas

Write symbols of two elements Write valence of each as superscripts Drop positive and negative signs Criss-cross the superscripts so they become subscripts Reduce when possible

Bonding

Covalent

Electrons are shared between non-metals

Most transition metals have multiple valences Roman numerals are used in the name of transition metal in the compound to show the valence on the cation (metal)

Neither takes a charge Do not criss-cross USE prefixes in name Name tells formula Cannot reduce

Binary Ionic

Ion= when an element has more protons than electrons or vice versa

Non-metal becomes a negative ion (anion) gains electrons from metal

Chlorine gains electron to fill valence shell [Cl]-

Metal in bond becomes a positive ion (cations) loses electrons to non-meta

Lithium loses valence electron and becomes [Li]+ Magnesium loses two valence and becomes [Mg]2+

Occurs between metal and non-metal

Coefficient

shows how may molecules there are of a particular chemical

EX: 3 H2O Means there are 3 water molecules

Subscript

shows how many atoms of an element are in a molecule

Ex: H2O 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) 1 atom of oxygen (O

Law Of Conservation of Mass

If an equation obeys the Law of Conservation it is balanced

In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed

In other words, the number and type of atoms going INTO a reaction must be the same as the number and type of atoms coming out.

Rules

Subscripts cannot be added, removed, or changed

Coefficients can only go in front of chemical formulas...NEVER in the middle of a formula

You can only change coefficients

Matter cannot be created or destroyed

Tips

Try balancing big things first, save free elements for last

There is no one way to do it properly.

If the same polyatomic ion appears on both side of the equation, it's usually okay to treat it as one unit

Chemical Equation

Parts of an equation

Reactant ---> product Reactants react to produce the product

Describes a chemical change.

Reactants and Products

Reactant

Written on the left side of equation

The chemical (s) you start with before the reactions.

Product

Right side of the equation

The new chemical (s) formed by the reaction

Diatomic Elements

Always found in pairs when alone as an element

H O F Br I N Cl

Balancing Chemical Equations

Combustion

Usually a mix of Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, and energy (heat or light)

Example: CH4 + O2 ----> CO2 + H2O

Single Displacement

A + BC -----> B + AC (Elements switch partners to form new compounds {zinc bumps hydrogen out to form zinc chloride})

Example: 2HCl + Zn ---> ZnCl2 + H2

One element knocks another element out of a compound

Double Displacement

AD + BC ---> BD + AC (Compound swap partners)

Example: BaCl2 + Na2SO4 ---> BaSO4 + 2NaCl

Two compounds switch with each other

Decomposition

AB -----> A + B (Compound breaks to = two elements)

Example: 2H2O2 ----> 2H2O + O2

One substance breaks down into two or more substances

Synthesis

A + B ---> AB (element + element = compound)

Example: 2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaCl

Two or more chemicals bond together forming one new substance

Chemical Reactions

Neutralization

Addition of an acid or alkali (base) to a liquid to cause the pH of the liquid to move towards a neutral pH of 7

Base

Adds Hydroxyl ions OH- Sodium Hydroxide NaOH ---> Na+ + OH-

Acid + Base = H+ + OH- ---> H2O

HCl+ NaOH ---> H2O + NaCl + energy Acid + base ---> water + salt + heat NEUTRAL

Acid

Adds Hydrogen ions H+ Hydrochloric acid HCl ---> H+ + Cl-

Lenses

Concave

Often called a diverging lens because when surrounded by material with a lower index of refraction, rays passing through it spread out

Thinner in the middle than at the edges

A lens is a piece of transparent material, such as glass or plastic, that is used to focus light and form an image

Convex

Often called a converging lens because when surrounded by material with a lower index of refraction, it refracts parallel light rays so that the rays meet at a point

Is thicker at the center than at the edges

Index of Refraction

Index of refraction = Speed of light in space Speed of light in media

Cannot be less than 1.00 Air=1.00 Glass=1.5 Water= 1.33

As light travels from one medium to another, the speed of light changes and the light bends accordingly.

You will have no trouble remembering this if you think about it in the right way: a real image has to be where the light is, which means in front of a mirror, or behind a lens.) Virtual images are formed by diverging lenses or by placing an object inside the focal length of a converging lens.

Optical Images

Type: Real or Virtual

Size: Bigger smaller, or same size as object

Orientation: Vertical (Upright or inverted) Lateral (Left to right)

Location: Behind or in front of the mirror

An image is the representation of an object formed by the interaction of light rays.

Diagrams

Referred to as Ray Diagrams

A beam is a 'bundle' of light rays

A ray is a single path followed by light

Laws

The incident ray, reflected ray, and normal all lie on the same plane

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection

Plane Mirrors

Characteristics

Type: Virtual

Size: Same size object

Orientation: Image is upright, and laterally inverted

Location: Behind the mirror the same distance from the mirror as the object

Light Travels

In a straight line

This is known as Law of Rectilinear Propagatio

Reflections

Diffuse Reflections

Walls floors ceilings scatter light in all directions making them visible

Most objects are made of rough surfaces (and therefore scatter light); if this did not happen, indoor lighting would not be effective

They still obey the laws of reflection (Angle of incidence= angle of reflection)

Something that is flat will reflect nicely, something that is not flat will reflected not so nicely. (random like a broken mirror)

Because of the uneven surface, the light rays are scattered in many directions (diffused).

Many surfaces appear smooth, but when viewed under a microscope they are not.

Reflection of Light

Regular Reflection: of light from smooth shiny surfaces

Speed of Light

Types of Curved Mirrors

Convex Mirror

Behind Mirror Upright Smaller Virtual

All images will be formed at the same place

Converging mirrors

A mirror whose reflecting surface curves inward

Concave Mirror

Diverging mirror

A mirror whose reflecting surface curves outward

Refraction

You can only have total internal reflection going from a high index of refraction to a low index of refraction

Snell's Law: The Law of Refraction

Index of refraction of the media in which the angle of refraction is

Index of refraction of the media in which the angle of incidence is

n1 sin θI = n2 sinθR

Curved Mirrors

Converge

To meet at a common point

Vertex

The point where the P.A. meets the mirror

Rules for the construction of ray diagrams

Hint: If the reflected rays of diverge (reflect AWAY from each other) Trace the back behind the mirror to find a virtual image.

Rays striking V follow the laws of reflection (angle of incidence = angle of reflection)

Rays passing through C are reflected back along the same path

Rays passing through F are reflected parallel to the P.A.

Parallel rays are reflected through F

Focal Length (f)

The distance from the focal point to vertex

Focal Point (F)

Is halfway between the vertex and the centre of curvature. When parallel light rays are shone along the P.A., the reflected rays converge and cross at the focal point.

Principle Axis (P.A.)

The line through C that passes through the midpoint of the mirror (normal to the centre of the mirror
