What is a chemical reaction?
A chemical reaction is a change that takes place when one or more substances (called reactants) form one or more new substances (called products).

Reactions all around us
How many chemical reactions go on around us everyday?

How can you spot a chemical reaction?
Chemical reactions can appear very different.
As you observe a chemical reaction, you may detect:
a colour change
precipitate (solid) forming
energy being produced (fizzing, burning)
an odour being produced.

Why doesn’t the mass change?
In a chemical reaction, no atoms are made or destroyed.
The reaction just changes how the atoms are bonded together.

What is a word equation?
For example, when a piece of sulfur is burned in oxygen gas it produces a white solid called sulfur dioxide.
A word equation uses the names of the reactants and products to show what happens in a chemical reaction.
+ sulfur oxygensulfur
dioxide
The word equation for this reaction is:

What is a symbol equation?
A symbol equation uses the formulae of the reactants and products to show what happens in a chemical reaction.
This equation shows that one atom of sulfur (S) reacts with one molecule of oxygen (O2) to make one molecule of sulfur dioxide (SO2).
A symbol equation must be balanced to give the correct ratio of reactants and products.
+ S O2 SO2

What do state symbols show?
State symbols are added to a symbol equation to show whether the reactants and products are:
With state symbols in place, this symbol equation now shows that the sulfur is a solid, the oxygen is a gas and the sulfur dioxide is also a gas.
solid – symbol is (s)
liquid – symbol is (l)
gas – symbol is (g)
dissolved in water – symbol is (aq).
+ S (s) O2 (g) SO2 (g)

Baking powder and self-raising flour contain sodium hydrogencarbonate (also known as sodium bicarbonate).
What effect does this reaction have on dough as it is being baked?
When sodium hydrogencarbonate is heated, it decomposes to make sodium oxide, carbon dioxide and water.
The carbon dioxide released during the reaction creates tiny bubbles, which help the dough to rise.

What are indicators?
Indicators are chemicals that change colour in the presence of an acid or an alkali.
There are many different indicators. Lots of them come from plants, like red cabbage. Different indicators turn different colours.
Universal indicator is a mixture of indicators. It is useful because it shows a range of colours from pH 1–14.
Geranium plants grown in acidic soil have red flowers, while geraniums grown in alkali soil have blue flowers.
22 of 55 © Boardworks Ltd 2007
What does the pH scale show?
The pH scale runs from 1 to 14. The numbers 1 to 6 represent acidic conditions and 8 to 14 represent alkali conditions. A pH value 7 is neutral.

What is the order of pH?

What are acids?
Acids are substances that:
Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.
Ethanoic acid (vinegar) is a weak acid.
Have a pH below 7 and turn universal indicator yellow, orange or red.
Turn litmus red.
Form solutions containing hydrogen ions (H+).
25 of 55 © Boardworks Ltd 2007
What are alkalis?
Have a pH above 7 and turn universal indicator blue or purple.
Alkalis are substances that:
Sodium hydroxide is a strong alkali.
Ammonia is a weak alkali. When ammonia is dissolved in water, it forms ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), a fertilizer.
Turn litmus blue.
Can neutralize acids
Form solutions containing hydroxide ions (OH-).
26 of 55 © Boardworks Ltd 2007
What are bases?
All alkalis are bases. Bases are substances that react with acids by absorbing hydrogen ions (H+).
Some bases are soluble in water – these are called alkalis.
All alkalis contain hydroxide ions (OH–). The more OH– ions in the solution, the stronger the alkali.
The oxides, hydroxides and carbonates of metals, such as sodium hydroxide, are bases.
Ammonia is a base that does not contain a metal.

+acid base a salt
How are salts made and named?
When an acid reacts with a base, a neutralization reaction occurs and produces a chemical called a salt.
The name of the salt depends on the names of the reactants.
The first part of the salt’s name comes from the base:
e.g. sodium hydroxide sodium…
The second part of the salt’s name comes from the acid:
e.g. sulfuric acid sulfate…
For example, if sodium hydroxide neutralizes sulfuric acid, the product is a salt called sodium sulfate.

What are salts used for?
Table salt is sodium chloride. This is the salt used to flavour and preserve food.
Indigestion remedies often contain magnesium salts.
Salts can also be used as coloured pigments in paints, and to help fuels burn better.
The colours of fireworks are formed when certain salts burn. Calcium chloride, for example, burns a bright red colour.

Water is formed because OH– ions from the alkali react with H+ ions from the acid to produce molecules of water (H2O).
Making salts 1: acid + alkali
When an acid reacts with an alkali, the products are a salt and water.

When is the reaction complete?
There is no obvious sign when this reaction is complete, so an indicator is used to show when the solution is neutral.
This process is called titration.
The reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid produces sodium chloride, which is soluble in water.

Obtaining salts from metal oxides
When a metal oxide is added to an acid, it dissolves as it reacts.
How could the solid copper sulfate salt be separated from the water?
You know when you have added enough of the metal oxide because it stops dissolving.

Making salts – summary
Salts can be made by reacting acids with bases.
acid + alkali a salt + water
acid + metal a salt + hydrogen
acid + metal oxide a salt + water
acid + carbonate a salt + carbon dioxide + water
There are four ways of making salts from acids:

Sometimes when two solutions are mixed, they react to form an insoluble solid product.
For example, mixing solutions of lead nitrate and sodium chloride produces a yellow precipitate of lead chloride.
What is a precipitation reaction?
The insoluble solid product is called a precipitate.
You can spot a precipitate because the mixture goes cloudy.

How can hard water be softened?
Hard water contains magnesium and calcium ions, which can clog up pipes and heating elements. These ions can be removed using precipitation reactions.
The magnesium ions are removed by this reaction:
What are the word and symbol equations for the removal of the calcium ions?
Sodium carbonate is added to the hard water to form precipitates, which can then be removed by filtration.
