Questão Responda
What is today's atmosphere made of? Nitrogen - 78% Oxygen - 21% Argon - 1% Carbon Dioxide - 0.04%
How is igneous rock formed? How is sedimentary rock formed? How is metamorphic rock formed? IGNEOUS - solidification of magma e.g granite. SEDIMENTARY - layers of sediment (shells) are compacted. e.g limestone METAMORPHIC - rocks that are changed under immense heat and/or pressure. e.g marble.
reasons for and against a quarry! FOR: -products to sell -more jobs available -more money from selling products AGAINST: -noise -more dust -pollution
2 things that Calcium carbonate neutralize! 1.) neutralizes acidic acids reducing acidic rain. 2.) neutralizes soil which is too acidic.
what are the tests for: - carbon dioxide - oxygen - hydrogen -chlorine CARBON DIOXIDE - turns lime water cloudy OXYGEN - glowing splint relights HYDROGEN - lit splint goes pop CHLORINE - damp litmus paper goes red then white
name 2 jobs of hydrochloric acid in your stomach - to help with digestion - kills bacteria in food
name 6 bases! hydroxides oxides carbonates chlorides sulfates nitrates
acid + base ----> salt + water acid + metal hydroxide ----> salt + water acid + metal oxide ----> salt + water acid + metal carbonate ----> salt + water + carbon dioxide
what is electrolysis? the process which electrical energy by a d.c. supply decomposes compounds.
uses of chlorine (cl) (3 uses) 1.) water treatment to kill bacteria 2.) in the production of bleach 3.) making plastics with e.g PVC
top 5 most reactive & extraction method POTASSIUM SODIUM CALCIUM MAGNESIUM ALUMINIUM Method = electrolysis
second most reactive & extraction method ZINK IRON TIN LEAD COPPER Method = heat an ore with carbon
least reactive & extraction method SILVER GOLD PLATINUM Method = found as an uncombined element
what is an ore? rock from the earths crust from which a metal can be extracted from.
what is an alloy? an alloy is a mixture with at least one other element e.g. steel.
why are alloys stronger than non alloys? the different atoms are different sizes, it's more difficult for the atoms to slide over each other.
what is a smart material? give an example. has a property (i.e. shape) that changes with a change in conditions (usually a change in temperature) e.g. nitinol.
what are hydrocarbons? Compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon ONLY. Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons.
order of fractioning & uses GASES - cooking PETROL - fuel for some cars KEROSENE - fuel for air crafts DIESEL OIL - fuel for cars & trains FUEL OIL - fuel for ships & power stations BITUMEN - road surfaces
what is complete & incomplete combustion? COMPLETE COMBUSTION - when a hydrocarbon fuel reacts with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide & water ONLY. INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION - there isn't enough oxygen when a fuel burns so no carbon dioxide can be made. Carbon Monoxide & carbon particles are made instead.
how CO² levels can be reduced (2) - Carbon Dioxide from power stations can be turned into hydrocarbons. - Iron can be added to oceans (iron seeding) causing algae to grow & take in the CO² through photosynthesis.
what are the 2 families of hydrocarbons? ALKANES (single bonds) (saturated) methane, ethane, propane. ALKENES (double bonds) (unsaturated) propene, ethene.
what is cracking? Thermal decomposition of large hydrocarbons into smaller molecules using a catalyst.
how do we identify alkanes & alkenes ? with their reaction to bromine water, which is orange.
