Q

How was coal formed?

A

Plants and animals who died in swamps over millions of years got covered by layers of dirt and rock. The resulting pressure and heat turned the plants into coal.

Q

How was natural gas and oil formed?

A

Plants and animals who died in the sea over millions of years got covered by layers of dirt and rock. The resulting pressure and heat turned the plants into natural gas and oil.
Natural gas is same as oil formation but more pressure and heat.

Q

Why is carbon used for fuels and energy?

A

They burn with a clean flame and no smoke is produced.
Carbon and their compounds give out a lot of heat, energy and light when they are burnt in air
Carbon compounds have higher maximum ignition temperatures and their combustion can be restrained.

19
Q

Atomic number

A

Number of electrons/protons

20
Q

Whats on the outside of an atom?

A

electrons

21
Q

Atomic mass

A

Total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

22
Q

How to find number of neutrons

A

Mass Number – Atomic Number = Number of Neutrons

23
Q

Elements

A

Made of one type of atoms. eg. carbon atoms

24
Q

Compounds

A

Made of 2 or more different substances chemically combined.

25
Q

Mixtures

A

2 or more substances that are physically mixed not chemically combined

26
Q

Ion formation
(Don’t need apparently)

A

Ions are formed when the number of protons in an atom does not equal the number of electrons.
Atoms do this to have a full outer shell, which makes them more stable.
If an atom or molecule gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged (an anion), and if it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged (a cation).

27
Q

Distillation use and how it works

A

Distillation can be used to separate two liquids which are mixed or a solid and a liquid.
The liquid with a lower boiling point will evaporate first and be separated.

28
Q

Filtration use and how it works

A

Separates a liquid in an insoluble solid or gaseous fuilid by using filtering agents such as filter paper. Only solid bits are left behind.

29
Q

Chromatography use

A

Used to separate soluble solid material so they can be identified.

30
Q

pH scale ranges from ____

A

1-14

31
Q

how much electrons can each electron layer hold?

A

2,8,8,16 (only works up to 20 bc its a lie contact me for real rules :) )

32
Q

how to measure ph

A

Universal indicator, litmus paper, ph meter ( electronic thingy )

33
Q

red litmus paper turn blue in ___

A

base

34
Q

blue litmus paper turn red in _____

A

acid

35
Q

Acid properties

A

Good for food preservation
Has pH less than 7
Corrodes metals
Sour taste

36
Q

Base properties

A

Good for cleaning
Has pH above 7
Feels slimy/slippery
Bitter taste

37
Q

What is needed for combustion?

A

Oxygen, Heat and Fuel.

38
Q

Combustion

A

burning a fuel (anything combustible) in oxygen
The product formed is a oxidized form of the original

39
Q

What happens when you burn a non-metal?

A

Fuel -> Non Metal + oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water

40
Q

Greenhouse effect

A

Gases in Earth’s atmosphere trapping the Sun’s heat and reflecting it back to earth.

41
Q

Global Warming

A

The rise in temperature on the surface of the earth.

42
Q

Ocean acidification

A

CO₂ + H₂O -> H₂CO₃ (carbonic acid)
Ocean acidification is the reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused by more carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.

43
Q

Ocean acidification effects

A

Dissolved shells which disrupt the food chains
Coral bleaching increases coral’s risk of diseases.

44
Q

Metal properties

A

Solid at room temperature (except mercury)
Shiny if polished
Conducts heat
Conducts electricity
Bend without breaking (malleable)
Can stretch into wires (ductile)

45
Q

Non metal properties

A

Solid, Liquid, Gas at room temperature
Not shiny
Doesn’t conduct heat
Doesn’t conduct electricity (except graphite)
Breaks easily if solid (brittle)
Cannot stretch easily

46
Q

Renewable Sources of Energy

A

Solar, Wind, Tidal/Wave, Biomass, Geothermal

47
Q

Crystalization

A

Used to obtain pure crystals of a substance from an impure mixture.

Solid is disolved in an solvent
Mixture is heated to evaporate solvent
Solution is allowed to cool and solid appears as crystals
