what’s potable water
safe to drink but not pure
contains dissolved substances
how’s potable water produced Uk
filtration - sterilisation
with chlorine
hows sea water desalinated
distillation
reverse osmosis
stages wastewater treatment
screening
sedimentation
aerobic digestion
sometimes anaerobic
what’s a life cycle assessment
analysis of the environmental impact of a product from raw materials to disposal
what’s corrosion
destruction of materials by chemical reactions
how can rust be prevented
barrier methods (oiling , painting )
sacrificial protection (zinc)
galvanising
what’s an alloy
mixture of metal with other elements
test for pure water
boil water
boils at 100 C
method to determine mass of dissolved solid a sample of river water
weigh container
measure 100cm of water into container
evaporate until dry
weigh container + remaining solids
determine mass of dissolved solids
dm
to cm
x 10
g
to mg
x 1000
how are oxides of nitrogen are produced in a car engine
high temperatures in the engine
enable oxygen and nitrogen to react
how does chromatography separate dyes in a food colouring
dyes distributed differently between stationary and mobile phase
so dyes move up the paper at different speeds/ rates
how can you tell it has more than one dye
because chromatogram has different dots/colours
in a vertical column
how to use chromatography to identify unknown dyes
run known dyes and food colouring
compare distances moved
can see those that move the same distance as known dyes
how is copper metal produced from phytomining
1.growing plants in a low grade ore
2.plants burnt to produce ash
3.ash dissolved in acid produce solution of a copper compound
4.electrolysis of the solution
5. displacement by adding scrap iron to the solution
calculate moles
mass/all the relative atomic masses
why’s producing ethanol from CO2 sustainable
the amount of CO2 to produce the ethanol
is the same as the amount of CO2 given off when the ethanol is burned
what’s sustainable development
meets the need of present
without compromising the future generation meeting their own needs
what happens in reaction between mg and hcl
electron transfer
test oxygen gas
glowing splint relights
what happens when sulfur is removed
equilibrium shifts to right hand side
cuz conc of SO3 decreases
how’s crude oil separated into fractions
heat or vaporise oil
temp gradient in column
vapour condenses into fractions
depending on boiling point of fraction
