Chemistry cards made during HT.

?
What are the disadvantages of bioleaching?
It is a slow process, and it contributes to acid rain
1 of 24
What temperature does bitumen boil at?
350 degrees celsius.
2 of 24
What does a metal and water produce?
Metal hydroxide + hydrogen
3 of 24
Why does concrete become harder with age?
-Water evaporates -Calcium reacts with Carbon dioxide in the air to form Calcium Carbonate
4 of 24
What does the group number tell you?
How many electrons are in the outer shell.
5 of 24
What does the period number tell you?
The number of shells and element has.
6 of 24
What is an element?
An element is made up of only one single type of atom.
7 of 24
Give 2 properties of alloys
-Strong -Corrosion Resistant
8 of 24
Why are alloys stronger than pure metals?
The regular atom arrangement is disrupted in an alloy, preventing the atoms from sliding over one another.
9 of 24
Fill in the missing word(s): Incomplete combustion releases ________________
Carbon Monoxide
10 of 24
What is phytomining?
Using plants that absorb metal from the ground they grow. The metal is stored in the leaves, and then the plant is burnt to extract the metal.
11 of 24
Why must equations be balanced?
So that no atoms are lost or gained during a chemical reaction.
12 of 24
Where has all the Co2 from the early atmosphere gone?
It has been: -Absorbed by plants -Absorbed into the ocean -Absorbed into rocks.
13 of 24
What causes global dimming?
Carbon particles released from burning fossil fuels
14 of 24
What does viscosity mean?
How thick a substance is.
15 of 24
What does volatility mean?
How easily a substance vapourises.
16 of 24
Give 3 properties of short chain alkanes.
Any 3 from; -Low boiling point -Very runny -Highly flammable -Very volatile
17 of 24
Give 3 properties of long chain alkanes
Any 3 from; -High boiling point -Very viscous -Smoky flame -Not very volatile
18 of 24
Give 2 advantages of using ethanol as a biofuel
-Ethanol burns cleanly -Ethanol is renewable.
19 of 24
Describe the process of cracking.
A catalyst is heated to around 600 degrees Celsius. The alkanes is heated and it vapourises. The vapours pass over the catalyst and thermal decomposition occurs.
20 of 24
Why are alkenes known as 'unsaturated?'
Because the double bond can open up and let other elements join on (this is why they decolourise bromine water)
21 of 24
How do alkanes burn?
They produce H2O and CO2.
22 of 24
Give one disadvantages of cooking with oils
Any 1 from; -High in energy because fossil fuels absorb oils so it can lead to obesity/heart disease. -It raises your cholestrol levels.
23 of 24
Fill in the missing word(s): The gas in the atmosphere today is mostly __________
Nitrogen (78%)
