Give an example of a solid fuel.
Coal, turf and wood
Give an example of a fuel that is a gas
Methane CH4
What is a fuel
A fuel is any substance that burns in oxygen to produce heat
What is a fossil fuel
Fossil fuels are fuels that were formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago
What contains hydrocarbons
Fossil fuels
What are hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon only
What is formed when hydrocarbon is burned
Water and carbon dioxide
What does sulfuric acid come from
Sulfuric acid comes from sulfur dioxide
What is the chemical format for sulfuric acid
H2SO4
How is sulfuric acid formed
When coal and oil are burned in power stations it forms sulfur dioxide this is very soluble in water and dissolves in water to eventually form sulfuric acid
Name three problems with acid rain
Acid rain destroys lakes(killing fish) acid rain harms trees and acid rain attacks stone and iron
How can we solve the problems of acid rain
Install chemical plants to remove the sulfur dioxide from emission power stations. Reduce the sulfur content of fuels. Install catalysts in the exhaust system of cars. Burn less fossil fuels
Name two common acids you would find in the lab
Hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid
Name two common bases
Sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide
How can u make salt
Using the the process of titration
What is acid rain a mixture of
Sulfuric acid and nitric acid
What is an indicator
An indicator shows by means of a colour change whether a substance is acidic or basic
What do acid turn litmus paper to
Bra blue red acid
What pH does a base have
A pH greater than 7
What pH makes a substance neutral
PH of 7
What is a universal indicator
A mixture of indicators
Give two examples of bases
Toothpaste, oven spray and window cleaner
What is the name given to bases
Alkaline
