C1 Limestone

?
what is an element
substances that consist of one type of atom
1 of 27
what is ionic bonding
loss or gain of electrons
2 of 27
what is covalent bonding
sharing of electrons
3 of 27
what is a compound
two or more elements chemically bonded together
4 of 27
what is a mixture
two or more elements which are not chemically bonded together
5 of 27
what happens to the properties of the elements in a compound
they change
6 of 27
what does limestone mainly consist of
calcium carbonate
7 of 27
what can blocks of limestone be used for
building eg cathedrals
8 of 27
what is created when CaCO3 is heated
calcium oxide+ carbon dioxide
9 of 27
what is this process called
thermal decomposition
10 of 27
do all other carbonates react this way
yes
11 of 27
why cant some of these be carried out in a school lab
bunsen burner cannot reach a high enough temperature to thermally decompose some carbonates
12 of 27
what is created when an acid is added to the metal Carbonate
salt + CO2 + H20
13 of 27
what is formed when water is added to calcium oxide
calcium hydroxide
14 of 27
what is a use for this product
neutralise acidic soil in fields
15 of 27
why is this better than powdered limestone
calcium hydroxide works much faster
16 of 27
what is the solution of calcium hydroxide called and a use of it
limewater, bubble gas through it and if it turns cloudy CO2 is present
17 of 27
go through the lime cycle
limestone > heated > quicklime > water added > slaked lime > carbonated > limestone
18 of 27
how do you make cement
powdered limestone and powdered clay are heated in a kiln
19 of 27
how do you make mortar
cement mixed with sand and water
20 of 27
what can you add to mortar
calcium hydroxide
21 of 27
how do you make concrete
mix cement with sand and aggregate (water and gravel)
22 of 27
disadvantages for quarrying limestone
huge ugly holes which permanently chnage the landscape,lots of noise and dust,destroys habitats,need to be transported away so noise and pollution,waste materials produce unsightly tips
23 of 27
disadvantages of processing limestone
cement factories make a lot of dust reuslting in breathing problems, energy is needed to produce cement and quicklime which comes from burning fossil fuels
24 of 27
examples of limestone products
building materials, dyes, paints, medicines, neutralise sulfur dioxide which causes acid rain
25 of 27
advantages of quarrying limestone
provides jobs which bring money to the local economy, landscaping and restoration of the area is done afterwards
26 of 27
advantages for using limestone for buliding
cheap, hard-wearing, attractive, do not rot, cant be gnawed away by animals doesnt corrode, fire resistant
