1. Electrolytes and non-electrolytes

Electrolytes - water solutions and melted salts, capable of conducting electricity.

Non-electrolytes - water solutions unable to conduct electricity

Indicators - substances which change their colors in the presence of acids and/or bases

solution/indicator
neutral (water) acidic basic (alkaline)
universal indicator yellow red blue
litmus pink red blue
phenolophtaleine colorless colorless rasp red
methyl orange orange red yellow
tea essence brown straw yellow brown
red cabbage decoction purple/pale blue red green



2. Acids

Acids are chemical compounds which consist of at least 1 hydrogen atom and only 1 acid remain.

Their general formula is HnR where:
H - hydrogen atom
n - number of hydrogen atoms
R - acid remain




Hydracids

HCl - hydrochloric acid (strong)
HBr - hydrobromic acid (strong)
HI - hydroionic acid (strong)
HF - hydrofluoric acid (weak)
H₂S - hydrosulphuric acid (weak)

Oxyacids

H₂SO₄ - sulphuric acid(strong)
H₂SO₃ - sulphuric acid (weak)
HNO₃ - nitric (V) acid (strong)
HNO₂ - nitric (III) acid (weak)
H₂CO₃ - carbonic acid (weak)
H₃PO₄ - phosphoric (V) acid/orthophosphoric acid
H₃BO₃ - boric acid/boronic acid

denaturation - a structural change in macromolecules caused by extreme conditions
hygroscopic - an ability of a substance to attract and hold water molecules from the surrounding environment
carbonisation - the term for the conversion of an organic substance into carbon or a carbon-containing residue

residue - pozostałość
corrosive - żrący
rotten - zgniły
cancerogenic - rakotwórczy
impermanent - niestały

3. Ionic dissociation

Dissociation is a decomposition of molecules into ions.





4. Hydroxides and bases

Hydroxides are compounds which consist of only 1 atom and at least 1hydroxylic group.


M - a metal atom
OH - a hydroxylic group
n - number of hydroxylic groups = valency of a metal

Bases are water solutions of hydroxides.

NaOH - sodium hydroxide/sodium base
KOH - potasium hydroxide/potasium base
CA(OH)₂ - calcium hydroxide/calcium base
MG(OH)₂ - magnesium hydroxide
Cu(OH)₂ - cooper(II) hydroxide
Fe(OH)₂ - ironium(V) hydroxide
Fe(OH)₃ - ironium(VI) hydroxide
Al(OH)₃ - to je amelinium, tego nie pomalujesz!
NH₄OH(NH₃ H₂O) - ammonia base

Features of sodium hydroxides: solid, white, soapy taste, soliable in water, hygroscopic, corrosive

Features of sodium base: liquid, colourless, soapy taste, water soliable, corrosive
Dissocciation of bases




5. Reaction of solution and pH

acidic reaction: a number of hydrogen cations is greater than a number of hydrogen anions there
[H⁺] > [OH⁻]

basic (alkaline) reaction: a number of hydroxylic is greater than a number of hydrogen cations there
[OH⁻] > [H⁺]

neutral reaction: numbers of hydrogen cations and hydroxylic anions are equal there
[H⁺] = [OH⁻]

reaction - odczyn
acetic acid - kwas octowy
