Chapter 2. Acids, Bases and Salts

Acids * Any substance that releases hydrogen ions when dissolved in water is an acid. * Acids obtained from food like curd, lemons, grapes, raw mango, citrus fruits and gooseberry are called organic acids. * Hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and nitric acid are called inorganic or mineral acids. Acids have the following physical properties:   ... Read more

Chapter 1. Chemical Reactions and Equations

Chemical Equations -A chemical reaction involves a change in the physical and chemical properties, the composition and the physical state of a substance. - A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of the reactants and the products in terms of their chemical formulae. - The law of conservation of mass states that the number of ...

Probability 15

A Theoretical Approach * Experimental probability is based on the observations of an experiment. * Experimental probability gets closer to the theoretical probability as the number of observations increases. * Theoretical probability of an event E, P(E) = \frac{Number \thinspace \thinspace of \thinspace \thinspace outcomes \thinspace\thinspace \thinspace favourable \thinspace \thinspace to \thinspace \thinspace E}{Total \thinspace ...

Statistics 14

Mean of Grouped Data Mean of given set of data is given by the sum of values of all the given observations divided by the number of observations. The three ways of finding the mean of grouped data are: * Direct Method * Assumed Mean Method * Step-Deviation Method Class Mark ( X_{i} ) = \frac{( upper ... Read more

Surface Areas and Volumes 13

Surface Areas and Volumes of Combinations of Solids * Complex solid shapes are composed of fundamental solid shapes. * By summing the surface areas of the simpler shapes that compose a complex shape, you can calculate a area of a complex shape. * By summing the volumes of the simpler shapes that compose a complex ...

Circles 10

Tangents to a Circle * A line that touches a circle at only one point is called a tangent to the circle. * The point where a tangent touches a circle is called its point of contact. * Only one tangent can be drawn at any given point on a circle. * The tangent at ... Read more
