SALT FORMATION
Types of Salt
1. Acidic salt – The salt formed by partial
neutralization of a diprotic or a polyprotic
acid is known as an acidic salt. These
salts have ionizable H+ ion along with
another cation. Mostly the ionizable H+
is a part of the anion. Some acid salts
are used in baking.
Properties of Salt
The compound’s sodium chloride has
very different properties from the
elements sodium and chlorine.
ENDOTHERMIC REACTION
An endothermic reaction is any chemical
reaction that absorbs heat from its
environment. The absorbed energy
provides the activation energy for the
reaction to occur. A hallmark of this type
of reaction is that it feels cold.
Endothermic Reaction Examples
● When ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is
dissolved in water, an endothermic
reaction takes place. The salt
dissociates into ammonium (NH4+)
and chloride (Cl–) ions. The chemical
equation can be written as follows:
NH4Cl (s) + H2O (l) ⟶ NH4Cl (aq) –
Heat
● Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), an
important component in instant cold
packs, dissociates into the
ammonium cation (NH4+) and the
nitrate anion (NO3–) when dissolved
in water. These ions go on to form
ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) and
nitric acid (HNO3) respectively (by
reacting with the OH– and H+ ions in
water). This reaction is endothermic
in nature since it cools the
surroundings by absorbing heat from
it.
WASHING SODA
Na2CO3. 10H2O is called Hydrated
Sodium Carbonate. Sodium carbonate
decahydrate is also known as Washing
soda.
Uses of washing soda:
● It is used as a laboratory reagent.
● It is used in removing stains.
● It is used in removing the permanent
hardness of the water.
● It is used in the manufacturing of
soap, paper as well as glass.
● It is also used in textiles and
petroleum refining.
BAKING SODA
Baking soda is the common name of
sodium bicarbonate. The chemical
formula of baking soda is NaHCO3.
HARDNESS OF WATER
The hardness of water is due to the
presence of soluble bicarbonates,
chlorides and sulfates of calcium and
magnesium. Water which does not give
lather with soap is hard water. Water can
be classified as hard water and soft
water.
Temporary Hardness
Permanent Hardness
Temporary Hardness of Water
The presence of magnesium and
calcium carbonates in water makes it
temporarily hard. In this case, the
hardness in water can be removed by
boiling the water.
By Clarks Method:
Calcium hydroxide is Clark’s reagent. It
removes the hardness of water by
converting bicarbonates into carbonate.

What is Isomerism?
Isomerism is the phenomenon in which
more than one compounds have the
same chemical formula but different
chemical structures.
Isomerism Types
There are two primary types of
isomerism, which can be further
categorized into different subtypes.
These primary types are Structural
Isomerism and Stereoisomerism. The
classification of different types of
isomers is illustrated below.
Structural Isomerism
Structural isomerism is commonly
referred to as constitutional isomerism.
The functional groups and the atoms in
the molecules of these isomers are
linked in different ways. Different
structural isomers are assigned different
IUPAC names since they may or may
not contain the same functional group.
Chain Isomerism
Position Isomerism
The positions of the functional groups or
substituent atoms are different in
position isomers.
Typically, this isomerism involves the
attachment of the functional groups to
different carbon atoms in the carbon
chain.
An example of this type of isomerism
can be observed in the compounds
having the formula C3H7Cl.
Functional Isomerism
It is also known as functional group
isomerism.
As the name suggests, it refers to the
compounds that have the same
chemical formula but different functional
groups attached to them.
An example of functional isomerism can
be observed in the compound C3H6O.
