2 of 28
Name 2 products produced due to coal burning
Water and air pollution, waste managment
3 of 28
What is hydration?
A chemical reation in which water is added to an unsaturated substence
4 of 28
What is fermentation?
A metabolic process which converts suger into gasses, acids or alcahole
5 of 28
What is an advantage of using bio-deisel instead of patrolium deisel?
Biodegradable, non toxic
6 of 28
What is an disadvantage of using bio-deisel instead of patrolium deisel?
More expensive
7 of 28
What is the bromine water test used for?
Testing for Alkenes; used to tell the difference between an alkane and an alkene
8 of 28
Give two conclusions from the bromine water test
1. the more bromine decolourised the more unsaturated it is 2. bromine is saturated when the brownish colour starts to fade
9 of 28
What is phytomining?
Phytomining is when some plants absorb compounds through their roots; the concentrate these compounds as a result

Why can copper not be extracted by hand?
This is because copper is less reactive than carbon so needs to be extracted from its ore by heating it
11 of 28
Why is scrap iron used to displace copper?
This is due to us running out of copper rich ores, iron is more reactive than copper so is used to remove the copper from copper salts
12 of 28
What happens to copper during electrolysis?
The positive charged ions move to the the more negative charged electrode, they receive electrons and are reduced, the negative charged ions move to the positive charged electrode
13 of 28
What products are formed when calcium carbonate is heated strongly?
Calcium oxide and carbon dioxide
14 of 28
What is meant by the mean mass loss?
Add all the results togethor and divide them by the average or otal
15 of 28
Why did scientists not accpet Wegeners theory?
Because he didnt have any evedence on how the continenets can move apart from eachother
16 of 28
How does continental drift take place?
This is when the earths continents relevent to eachother start to 'drift' across the oceon bed
17 of 28
Why does continental drift take place?
This is because of convection currants
18 of 28
Why is carbon dioxide removed before gasses are cooled to -200'c?
This is because carbon dioxide freezes at -79'c
19 of 28
What gas does not condense when remaining gasses are cooled to -200'c
Water vapour - has to be removed by filter paper
20 of 28
The oxygen contains another gas in the process of fractional distilation what is it?
Argon
21 of 28
What 2 types of hydrocarbons does polyethene contain?
Saturated and unsaturated
22 of 28
How do you break down large hydrocarbon?
Using a very hot catalyst
23 of 28
Why must air not enter the reactors?
This is because the reactors contain argon
24 of 28
What method can be used to contain butene?
Cracking
25 of 28
What method is used to seperate butene?
Fractional Distillation
26 of 28
What is the diplayed sturcture of butene?
Diplayed structure:
27 of 28
How do molecules of butene form polybutene?
The molecules of butene join together , this reaction is called polymerisation
