 Matter

Matter is anything that occupies space & has a mass.

Example: air, water, earth, planets, satellites, plants, animals & man

Solids, Liquid, Gas

Classification of matter
Element, Compound, Mixtures

Atom: is the smallest particle of an element having the chemical properties of the element
 Atom is made up of three subatomic particles: Proton, Neutron, Electron.
 Protons & neutrons join together to form the nucleus, the central part of the atom
 Atom is electrically neutral because no. of proton & no. of electron are always
equal.
 Nucleus has a positive charge because it has protons & neutrons. As the protons are
positively charged & neutrons have no charge on it.

Particle Location in atom Charge Mass Scientist name

Proton In the nucleus Positive charge 1 amu J.J. Thomson
Neutron In the nucleus No charge 1 amu James Chadwick
Electron Outside the nucleus Negative charge 1/2 amu J.J. Thomson
Nucleus Centre of the atom Positive charge Rutherford

Molecule: is formed when two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
 A molecule is the smallest particle of compound that has the chemical properties of
compound.
 Molecules are also electrically neutral.

Electronic Configuration of an element:

Aufbau’s principle states that electrons always fill orbital of lower energy first.

4 Version 4
The order for filling in the sublevels : 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d,
6p, 7s, 5f, 6d,7p.

The electronic configurations of some elements to illustrate the above rules

Hydrogen (Z=1): 1s1 Helium (Z=2): 1s2
Lithium (Z=3): 1s2 2s1 Beryllium (Z=4) 1s2 2s2
Boron (Z=5): 1s2 2s2 2p1 Carbon (Z=6): 1s2 2s2 2p2

Exception looking configurations:

The electronic configuration of certain elements such as chromium (Z= 24), Copper (Z=
29), Molybdenum (Z=42) and Silver (Z=47) do not follow the general rules

Cr (Z=24) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d4

Cr (Z=24) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d5

Cu (Z= 29) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d9

Cu (Z= 29) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d10

Mo (Z= 42) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d4
Mo (Z= 42) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s1 4d5

Ag (Z= 47) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d9
Ag (Z= 47) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s1 4d10

In each case, one of the electrons expected to go to 4s orbital has gone to 3d orbital. In this
way, all the 3d orbitals have got exactly half filled in chromium and molybdenum and
completely filled in copper and silver.

The reason is that electronic configurations in which orbitals of the same sub shell are
exactly half filled or completely filled (p3, p6, d5, d10, f7, f14) have lower energy or in other
words, extra stability

Chemical Reactions

Elements in the Periodic Table are arranged according to the Atomic Number, which
increases from left to right across the Periodic Table.

Classification of periodic table

 Metals
 Good conductor of heat and electricity.
 Solids at room temperature except mercury is liquid.

 Nonmetals
 Poor conductor of heat and electricity.
 Solid and gas at room temperature except bromine is liquid.

Periods in the Periodic Table

 A horizontal row in the Periodic Table is called a period.
 Each row is counted from the top of the table as Period 1 to Period 7.

Period 1
Period 2

Period 3

 The number of electron shells of an element will determine its Period in the
Periodic Table.

9 Version 4
Groups in the Periodic Table
 A vertical column in the Periodic Table is called a group.
Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 8 or 0

 Eight group in the periodic table (numbers as 1A - 8A or with Roman numerals

IA – VIIIA).
 Centre of the periodic table is known as transition metals, representing the “B“
family.
 The number of outer electrons of an element will determines its Group in the
Periodic Table.

 Elements in the same Group:

 Have similar chemical and physical properties.
 Have the same number of outer electrons.
 Usually form ions with same charge.
Group 1 : X+ (Example: Na+, Li+)
Group 2 : X2+ (Example: Ca2+, Mg2+)
Group 6 : X2- (Example: O2-, S2-)
Group 7 : X- (Example: I-, Cl-)

10 Version 4
Valency:
The number of Hydrogen atoms that an element can combine.

Example:
 Lithium, Sodium and Potassium have a valency of one as they combine with one
Hydrogen atom.
 Beryllium, Magnesium and Calcium all have a valency of two as they combine with
two Hydrogen atoms.

Note that the valences of all these atoms are equal to the number of outer electrons that
these elements have.

 Boron and Aluminum combine with three Hydrogen atoms - their valences are 3: they
have three outer electrons.
 Carbon and Silicon combine with four Hydrogen atoms. The valency of these elements
is 4

Valency is the combining capacity of an atom. It is equal to the number of electrons

the atom loses, or gains or shares when it combines with one or more atoms.

Depending on whether the atom loses, gains or shares electrons, the valency may be
positive, negative, or neutral respectively. Example: Valency of sodium is + 1, because it
can lose one electron. Valency of chlorine is – 1, because it gains 1 electron.
If two or more atoms combine by sharing electrons i.e., not losing or gaining electrons,
then the valency numbers are neither positive nor negative. Example: In carbon dioxide,
carbon and oxygen atoms, do not, lose or gain electrons, and their valency are 4 and 2
respectively.

Chemical Formula of a compound is a symbolic representation of its composition.

Writing a chemical formula:

 The valency or charges on the element should be written
 Then the valency of the combining atom must be crossover.

Ionic Compound: a compound consists of a metal and a non-metal

 The name or symbol of the metal is written first & then the nonmetal as -ide

Example: Calcium oxide (CaO), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), where oxygen, chlorine,
are non-metals and are written on the right, whereas calcium, magnesium are metals, and
are written on the left.

11 Version 4
 Calcium oxide CaO Magnesium chloride MgCl 2
Symbol Ca O Symbol Mg Cl
Valency +2 -2 Valency +2 -1

Chemical Equation
A chemical equation is a brief representation of a chemical change in terms of the symbols
and formulae of the reactants and the products.

Rules for a chemical equation

1. It should be balanced i.e. the number of atoms of each element on the two sides of the
equation must be equal.
2. When balancing the chemical equation, use coefficient, small whole number placed at
the front of chemical formula. Never change the subscript.

3. The reactant should be on the left hand side & product on the right hand side
separated by an arrow.
4. It should be molecular. Thus elementary gases like H, N, O, Cl, F, I, Br should be
written as H2, N2, O2, Cl2, F2, I2, Br2
5. Indicate the state of matter- Solid(s), Liquid (l), Gas(g), Aqueous(aq)

Writing Chemical Equation: 2 ways

 Word Equation: Aluminum combines with oxygen to form aluminum oxide
 Formula Equation: Al + O2 → Al2O3
 Balancing : 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

 Redox Reaction
Definitions
 Oxidation:
 loss of electrons Zn → Zn2+ + 2e-
Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e-
Sn2+ → Sn4+ + 2e-
 Reduction:
 gain of electrons Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu
Fe3+ + e- → Fe2+
Hg2+ + e- → Hg +

Further, in a chemical reaction, there is no net loss or gain of electrons. Therefore, loss
and gain of electrons from one substance to another must take place simultaneously. In
other words, in a chemical reaction, a substance can gain electrons only if another
substance that can lose electrons is also present in the reaction. Similarly, a substance can
lose electrons only if another substance that can gain electrons is also present in the
reaction. This means oxidation can take place only if reduction also takes place at the
same time and vice-versa.

Therefore, oxidation and reduction always occur side by side. For Example, let us
consider reaction between sodium metal and chlorine to form sodium chloride.
2Na(s) + Cl2 (g) → 2NaCl(s)
No. of electrons lost = no. of electrons gain
2Na → 2Na+ +2e- (oxidation half)
- -
Cl2 + 2e → 2Cl (reduction half)

2Na+ Cl2 → 2NaCl (Redox reaction)

Thus, the overall reaction involves the transfer of electrons from sodium metal to chlorine.
It means, that sodium metal gets oxidized to Na+ ion while chlorine gets reduced to Cl-
ions so that overall reaction involves oxidation and reduction and is known as REDOX
Reaction

REDOX reaction is the sum of an oxidation half-reaction in which electrons are lost and a
reduction half- reaction in which electrons are gained.

Oxidation number

17 Version 4
It is the number that tells the extent to which an element has been oxidized or reduced in a
compound or ion.

Rules for assigning oxidation number

1. Atoms in its elemental form is always zero.
 A substance is elemental if only one kind of atom is present and charge = 0
e.g. Cl2, O3, S8: the oxidation number of Cl, O, S =0
Al, Na, Ba, Fe: the oxidation number = 0
2. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion = charges of the monatomic ion
e.g. Oxidation numbers of Fe2+ = +2, Al3+ = +3, S2- = -2, N3- = -3
3. The oxidation number of group 1A metals = + 1 (unless elemental)
4. The oxidation number of group 2A metals = + 2 (unless elemental)
5. The oxidation number of Fluorine is always -1 (unless elemental)
6. Hydrogen is usually +1 (with nonmetal like HCl) and -1 (with metal like NaH, CaH 2).
7. The oxidation number of Group 7A (Chlorine, bromine, and iodine) is usually –1.
8. The oxidation number of Oxygen is always -2, but in peroxides (H2O2, Na2O2) is -1.
9. The sum of the oxidation numbers for a neutral compound is zero
10. The sum of the oxidation numbers of a polyatomic ion = charge on the polyatomic ion

Redox reaction in terms of Oxidation number

An atom undergoes oxidation when it increases its oxidation number. It undergoes

reduction when its oxidation number decreases. Since the no. of electrons in a chemical
reaction remains the same, reduction of one atom must accompany the oxidation of
another. Therefore, any reaction involving changes in oxidation numbers is redox reaction.

Sn is converted to Sn2+ by losing two electrons and is oxidized. On the other hand, H+ ion
gains electron and is reduced. The oxidation number of Sn increases from 0 to 2+ when it
gets oxidized. The oxidation number of H decreases from 1+ to 0 when it gets reduced.

Oxidizing and Reducing agent:

18 Version 4
An Oxidizing agent is a substance, which undergoes decrease of oxidation number of one
or more of its constituent atoms. Likewise, a Reducing agent is a substance, which
undergoes increase of oxidation number of one or more of its constituent atoms.
In the reaction above, HCl acts as oxidizing agent while Sn acts as reducing agent.

 The sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a compound.
 It can be determined by adding the individual masses of each atom in the
compound.
 It is calculated in amu (atomic mass unit)

Molecular Mass of Carbon monoxide

• The formula for carbon monoxide is composed of one atom of carbon and one atom
of oxygen
• Atomic mass of C = 12.01 (from Periodic Table)
Atomic mass of O = 16.00 (from Periodic Table)
Molecular Mass for carbon monoxide = atomic mass carbon + atomic mass oxygen
= 12.01 + 16.00
   = 28.01amu

Chemical Kinetics

The study of rate of reaction and their mechanism is called as chemical kinetics.

Rate of a reaction
A rate is a change of quantity with time.
The rate of reaction is the change in concentration of any of the reactants or products
per unit time.

change∈concentration of reactant∨ product

Rate of reaction =
time

For example, a reaction in which one mole of A decompose to form one mole of C and D
A→C+D
The rate of the reaction is expressed as
Decrease∈ concentration of A
Rate of reaction =
time taken

Increase∈concentration of C
= =
time taken
Increase∈concentration of D
time taken

Since for every mole of A that reacts, one mole of the product C (or D) is formed,
therefore, the rate at which any one of the reactants disappears is equal to the rate at which
any of the products is formed
Rule of writing the rate of the reaction:

1. Concentration of the reactant or product is represented by a square bracket i.e. the

symbol or formula of the substance is written in square bracket.
2. Concentration is expressed in moles per liter (mol/L).
3. Unit of rate of reaction is mol/L sec.
4. The change, Δ is assigned a negative sign when rate is expressed in terms of change of
concentration of reactants because their concentration decreases with time. Δ is
assigned a positive sign when rate is expressed in terms of change of concentration of
products because their concentration increases with time.

−∆ [ A] ∆[C ] ∆[ D]
Example: A → C + D Rate of reaction = = ∆t = ∆t
∆t

23 Version 4
 −∆ [PCl5 ] ∆[ P Cl3 ]
PCl5 → PCl3 + Cl2 Rate of reaction =
∆t
= ∆t
=
∆[Cl 2]
∆t

5. For a given reaction: A + B → 2C in which the balancing co-efficient of different

substance in the reaction are not equal. In this reaction, the rate of disappearance of A
is equal to the rate of disappearance of B but is half of the rate of formation of C.
Therefore, the rate of reaction is made equivalent by dividing the rate expression by
the stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced equation for the reaction.

−∆ [ A] −∆ [B] ∆[C ]
Example: A + B → 2C Rate of reaction = = ∆t = 2∆t
∆t

−∆ [ HI ] ∆[ H 2 ] ∆[ I 2 ]
2HI → H2 + I2 Rate of reaction =
2∆t
= ∆t
= ∆t

Factors, which influence the rate of reaction, are:

1. Effect of chemical nature of the reactants

Generally, a reaction-taking place between the ionic compounds is faster than the
reaction-taking place between the covalent carbon compounds.

For example:
The reaction between NaCl and AgNO3 (both ionic compounds) in solution to give
AgCl precipitate and NaNO3 occurs very fast.
NaCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) → AgCl + NaNO3 (aq)

The reaction between ethyl alcohol and acetic acid (both covalent compounds) to form
ethyl acetate and water occurs slowly
C2H5OH (l) + CH3COOH (l) → CH3COOC2H5 (l) + H2O (l)

The reactions taking place between covalent carbon compounds involve breaking of
the covalent bonds existing among the atoms of the reactants and forming of the new
covalent bonds, among the atoms that form the products. Hence, these reactions are
slow. In ionic reactions however no such breaking and forming of bonds is necessary.
Hence, these ionic reactions are faster than the covalent reactions.
2. Effect of concentration of reactants
Concentration refers to how much solute is dissolved in a solution. If a greater
concentration of reactant atoms and molecules is present, there is a greater chance that

24 Version 4
 collisions will occur among them. More collisions mean a higher reaction rate. Thus,
increasing the concentration of the reactants usually results in a higher reaction rate. At
lower concentrations, there is less chance for collisions between particles. This means
that decreasing the concentrations of the reactants results in a lower reaction rate.

3. Effect of temperature
The rate of reaction generally increases with increase in the temperature of the
reaction. At higher temperatures, the increase in kinetic energy makes the reacting
molecules move faster, so that they collide with each other more frequently and with
more energy. Thus, the higher the temperature, the greater the rate of reaction. If you
decrease the temperature, the opposite effect occurs. The particles move more slowly,
colliding less frequently and with less energy. In this case, the rate of reaction
decreases.

4. Surface area
It is the measure of how much area of an object is exposed. For the same mass, many
small particles have a greater total surface area than one large particle. For example,
steel wool has a larger surface area than a block of steel of the same mass. This allows
oxygen molecules to collide with many more iron atoms per unit of time. The more
surface contact between reactants, the higher the rate of reaction. The less surface
contact, the lower the reaction rate.

5. Effect of catalyst
Reactions that take place slowly at room temperature are fastened by adding another
substance generally in small amounts to the reaction mixture. This substance is called
catalyst. The catalyst involved in the reaction but is not consumed in the reaction.
Catalysts reduce the amount of energy required to break and form bonds during a
chemical reaction. When catalysts are used, a reaction can proceed although less
energy is added during the reaction. For example, enzymes are catalysts that allow
chemical reactions to occur at relatively low temperatures within the body

Solution

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two substances: a solute and a solvent.

 Solute: substance being dissolved; present in lesser amount.

 Solvent: substance doing the dissolving; present in larger amount.
 Solutes and solvents may be of any form of matter: solid, liquid or gas.

Solubility:
Maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific
temperature.

 Depends upon the nature of solute and solvent as well as temperature and pressure.

Based on solubility, the types of solutions are:

(1) Saturated solution
 contains the maximum amount of solute in a given solvent at a specific temperature.
 a solution in equilibrium with undissolved solute.

(2) Unsaturated solution

 contains less solute than it has the capacity to dissolve.
 a solution not in equilibrium with dissolved solute.
 more solute can be dissolved.

(3) Supersaturated solution

 contains more solute than is present in a saturated solution.
 unstable solution.
 Preparation : heat solution to high temperature, then slowly cool.

Factors affecting the Solubility:

 Pressure effects: pressure has little effect on the solubilities of solid or liquids; it does
significantly increase the solubility of a gas. Carbonated drinks for example, are
28 Version 4
 always bottled at high pressures of carbon dioxide to ensure the high concentration of
carbon dioxide in the liquid. The fizzing that occurs when you open a can of soda
results from the escape of gaseous of carbon dioxide because under these condition the
pressure of CO2 above the solution is now much lower than that used in the bottling
process

 Temperature effect: the dissolving of a solid occurs more rapidly at higher

temperatures, but the amount of solid that can be dissolved may increase or decrease
with increasing temperature. The effect of temperature on the solubility in water of
several solids is shown in solubility curve graph.

Note:
 Solubility of most solids (not all) in water increases with temperature,
 Example of exceptions where the solubilities of substance decreases with
increase in temperatures
CaSO4, Ca (OH) 2, Ce2 (SO4) 3
 The solubility of a gas in water always decrease with increasing temperature for
example SO2, NH3

Chemical Bond

Chemical bonds are the attractive forces that hold atoms together in a compound.
In the chemical bond, the atoms of various elements combine with on another by
undergoing electronic rearrangement so as to have 8 electrons in the outermost shell
(except hydrogen have 2 electrons) and thus acquire stable noble gas configuration. This is
known as Octet Rule.

Only the electrons called valence electrons, which are present in the outermost shell,
called valence shell can participate in bond formation. This is because the outermost
electrons are the farthest away from the nucleus and are therefore not very firmly bound to
the nucleus. They are easy to remove.

Dot & Cross Structure

 It consists of an element symbol surrounded by the dots or cross.
 The dot or cross represents the valence electron & 8 electrons is the maximum

Types of Chemical Bonding:

Ionic Bond
 Transfer of one or more electrons from the valence shell of one atom to
valence shell of another atom.

34 Version 4
  It is formed when a metal (forms cation) transfer electrons to an nonmetal (forms
anion)
 The atom which loses the electron acquires the positive charge(called cation)& the
atom which accept the electron acquires the negative charge (called anion) .

1.Formation of NaCl

An electron is transferred from the 3s orbitalof the sodium to the 3p orbital of the chlorine,
both the atom ends up with the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas.Sodium

Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons are the compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms bonded to each
other by covalent bonds

Two types of hydrocarbons:

1. Saturated hydrocarbon: have only single covalent bond between carbon atoms.
These hydrocarbons are classified as alkane.
Alkane: hydrocarbons with single covalent bond having a general formula Cn H2n+2
and used in petroleum, petrol, diesel oil.

IUPAC rules for Naming Alkanes

1. Find the parent (the longest continuous carbon chain). It does not matter whether the
chain is straight or bend.

40 Version 4
2. If there are two chains of equal length, select the chain with more substituents.

3. Numbering alkanes with substituents: number the carbon chain to give the
substituent the lowest number.

2. Unsaturated hydrocarbon: have double or triple covalent bond between carbon

atoms.
a) Alkenes: have a double covalent bond in carbon atoms having a general formula
Cn H2n and are used in polyethene.

b) Alkynes: have a triple covalent bond in carbon atoms having a general formula
Cn H2n-2 and are used in welding purpose (gas is acetylene)

41 Version 4
IUPAC rules for Naming Alkenes and Alkynes
1. Select the longest carbon chain containing the double bond or triple bond
2. Name the longest chain. The name is obtained by dropping the final –ane from the
name of the corresponding alkane, and adding the ending —ene if alkene, ─ yne if
alkyne
3. The chain is numbered from the end that gives lower number to the first carbon atom
of the double bond or triple bond

4. Alkyl groups and other substituent’s are numbered ,named and placed as prefixes in
alphabetic order

Preparation of alkane:

1. From unsaturated hydrocarbons: Hydrogen gas adds to alkenes and alkynes in the
presence of catalysts like platinum, palladium or nickel to form alkane. This process
is called hydrogenation.

CH2 = CH2 + H2 Pt→/¿ CH3 — CH3

Ethene Ethane

CH3 — CH = CH2 + H2 Pt /¿ CH3 — CH2 — CH3

→
Propene Propane

CH3─ C ≡ C — H + 2H2 Pt→/¿ CH — CH2 — CH3

Propyne Propane

2. From alkyl halides: Alkyl halides (except fluorides) on reduction with zinc and dilute
hydrochloric acid give alkane.

CH3 — Cl + H2 Zn CH4 + HCl

→
Chloromethane Methane

C2H5 — Cl + H2 Zn C2H6 + HCl

→
Chloroethane Ethane

42 Version 4
Hydrocarbon reactions: they undergo three types of reaction

1. Combustion reaction: hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and
water.
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
C2H4 + 3O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O

2. Substitution reaction:
 Only saturated hydrocarbon (alkane) undergoes substitution reaction.
 Halogens, nitro group and sulphonic acid group can replace one or more hydrogen
atoms of alkane.
 Halogenation takes place either at higher temperature (573-773 K) or in the
presence of sunlight

Halogenation:

CH3Cl + HCl
Chloromethane

CH3Cl + Cl2 hv

CH2 Cl2 + HCl
Dichloromethane

CH2Cl2 + Cl2 hv
→
CHCl3 + HCl
Tri chloromethane

CHCl3 + Cl2 hv
→
CCl4 + HCl
Tetra chloromethane

3. Addition reaction: Only unsaturated hydrocarbons undergo addition reaction. Alkenes

and alkynes react with halogen and hydrogen halides

CH2 = CH2 + HCl → CH3 — CH2Cl

Ethene Chloroethane

CH ≡ CH + HBr → CH2 = CH Br
Ethyne Bromoethene

CH2 = CH2 + Cl2 → CH2Cl — CH2Cl

Ethene Dichloroethane

CH ≡ CH + Cl2 → CHCl = CHCl + Cl2 → CHCl2 — CHCl2

Markovnikov Rule: The rule states that negative part of the adding molecule gets
attached to that carbon atom which possess lesser number of hydrogen atoms
Or
When an unsymmetrical alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide to give an alkyl halide, the
hydrogen adds to the carbon that has the greater number of hydrogen substituents, and the
halogen to the carbon having the fewer number of hydrogen substituents

H3C—CH=CH2 + H—Br → H3C—CHBr —CH3

Extraction of Metals

Metals are extracted from its ore by electrolytic process.

Electrolysis is the chemical decomposition of a compound by passing an electricity
through its aqueous solution or fused state.
Example: When fused NaCl is electrolyzed, it decomposes into sodium and chlorine gas

2NaCl (fused) current

→
2Na + Cl2

The process of electrolysis is carried out in a vessel known as electrolytic tank which
contains aqueous solution of the electrolyte. Two metallic plates or rods known as
electrodes are dipped into the solution of electrolyte. One electrode is connected to the
positive terminal and is called anode. The other electrode is connected to the negative
terminal and called cathode.

When an electrolyte is dissolved in water, it produces a positively charged and negatively

charged particles called ions. These ions move here and there in the solution. On passing
electric current, the ions start moving towards oppositely charged electrodes. The
positively charged ions move towards cathode and are called cations while negatively
charged ions move towards the anode and are called anions. As these ions reach the
respective electrodes, a chemical reaction takes place.

Reactions taking place at cathode is always reduction, which involves the gain of
electrons by the cation. Reactions taking place at anode is always oxidation, which
involves the loss of electrons by a substance.

48 Version 4
Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride: Molten sodium chloride contains free moving
Na+ and Cl- ions. On passing electric current through the molten sodium chloride

At the cathode: 2Na+ + 2e- → 2Na(s) (reduction)

At the anode: 2Cl─ - 2e- → 2Cl (g) (oxidation)
Cl (g) + Cl (g) → Cl2 (g)
Overall reaction: 2NaCl(s) →2Na + Cl2

Faraday’s Law of Electrolysis

Faraday’s First law: The mass of the substance liberated or deposited at any electrode
during the electrolysis of an electrolyte is directly proportional to the quantity of
electricity passing through the electrolyte.
Atomic mass ×current × time
Mathematically, Mass = valency ×96500

Faraday’s Second Law: The amounts of different substances liberated or deposited by the
same quantity of electricity passing through the electrolyte are proportional to their
equivalent weight.
Massof A Equivalent weight of A
Mass of B
= Equivalent weight of B

Suppose three cells containing H2SO4, CuSO4 and AgNO3 solutions are connected in series. If the
same quantity of electricity is passed through these cells, then the amount of hydrogen, silver and
copper deposited at the respective cathodes is in the ratio of their equivalent mass.

Acid & Bases
ARRHENIUS theory
Acid: a substance that produce hydrogen ions (H+)
HCl  H+ + Cl-
H2SO4  2H+ + SO42-
CH3COOH  H+ + CH3COO-

Base: a substance that produce hydroxide ions (OH–)

NaOH  Na+ + OH–
KOH  K+ + OH–
Ca (OH) 2  Ca2+ + 2OH-

BRONTED-LOWRY CONCEPT
Acid: donates hydrogen ion (H+) (proton donor)
Base: accept hydrogen ion (H+) (proton acceptor)

HA + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + A–
Acid Base Conjugate acid Conjugate Base

The conjugate acid is formed when the proton is transferred to the base.
A conjugate base is everything that remains of the acid molecule after a proton is lost.
A conjugate acid-base pair consists of two substances related to each other by the donating
and accepting of a single proton.
In above equation there are two conjugate acid-base pairs: HA and A- and H2O and H3O+

All ions with +ve charge called acid

All ions with –ve charge called base

HCl + H2O → H3O+ + Cl-

Acid Base Conjugate acid Conjugate Base

CH3COOH + H2O → CH3COO– + H3O+

Acid Base Conjugate acid Conjugate Base

NH3 + H2O → OH– + NH4+

Base Acid Conjugate acid Conjugate Base

Water is called amphoteric substances because it act as acid and base

51 Version 4
Strength of acids: Acids are the ionic compounds that break apart in water to form a
hydrogen ion. The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of H + ions in the
solution. The more the hydrogen ion (H+) the stronger the acid

Example: HCl (Hydrochloric acid) in water

Physical Properties of acid

1. Acid are sour in taste
2. Acid change litmus from blue to red
3. Strong acid are dangerous and can burn the skin

Examples of acid

Strong acid
1. Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) in car batteries

Weak acid
1. Vinegar (acetic acid: CH3COOH) used in cooking
2. Citrus fruits (grapes, lemon, orange etc) having citric acid
3. Sting of bee (formic acid: HCOOH)
4. Carbonic acid (H2CO3) in carbonated drinks like Pepsi, 7 UP

Bases: Bases are ionic compounds that break apart to form a negatively charged ion
(OH-) in water. The strength of a base is determined by the concentration of hydroxide
ions (OH-). The greater the concentration of OH- ions the stronger the base

Example: NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide-a strong base) in water

Physical Properties of base:

Hydroxides of alkali metals (group IA) and alkaline earth metals (Group II A) such as
LiOH, NaOH, KOH, Ca (OH) 2 are bases.

Water solution of bases are called alkaline solution or basic solution

1. Base are bitter in taste
2. They are slippery in feeling
3. Turns litmus paper from red to blue
4. Strong bases are very dangerous and can burn your skin

52 Version 4
Example bases
Weak base
1. Sodium bicarbonate(baking soda): NaHCO3
2. Ammonium hydroxide: NH4OH

Strong base
1. Lye(NaOH: Sodium hydroxide also called caustic soda)used in soap manufacturing
2. KOH(Potassium hydroxide also called caustic potash)

Other bases are

1. Milk of magnesia(magnesium hydroxide: Mg(OH) 2 used as antacid)

SALTS
Salts are ionic compound
Acids react with base to form salt and water is called as Neutralization reaction
Acid + base salt + water
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)

pH Scale
The strength of an acid or base in a solution is measured on a scale called a pH scale.
pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion (H+) or (OH-)concentration
pH = - log[H+] or [H+] = 10-pH
pOH = - log[OH-] or [OH-] = 10-pOH
pH + pOH = 14

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14

pH = less than 7 is an acidic solution.

pH = 7 is a neutral solution (neither acidic or basic).
pH = greater than 7 is a base .

0 is the strongest acid and 14 is the strongest base
