oxygen and oxides Flashcards
how do you measure the % of oxygen?
by reacting it with another element-typically a metal
if the air in one of these experiments doesnt decrease by 21% why could it be?
- the metal wasnt heated for long enough for all the oxygen to be reacted
- theres a leak in the apparatus
what is element combustion?
when an element reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide
what oxide name does a metal take?
metal oxide
what oxide name does a non-metal take?
non-metal dioxide
what states are metal oxides?
solids
what states are non-metal dioxides?
gas
what is the chemical and word equation for the combustion of magnesium?
- magnesium + oxygen -> magnesium oxide
- 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO
observations for the combustion of magnesium?
bright white light formed and white powder formed
what is the word and chemical equation for the combustion of sulphur?
-sulphur + oxygen -> sulphur dioxide
-S + O2 -> SO2
what are the observations for the combustion of sulphur?
blue flame
what is the word equation and symbol equation for the combustion of hydrogen?
