Q

What happens when an acid is added to an Alkali?

A

  • Nitrogen

- Hydrogen

22
Q

How much of a car has to be able to be recycled?

A
  • 85%

- from 2015 it will rise to 95%

23
Q

What is the equation for Rusting?

A

Iron + oxygen + Water ➡️ hydrated Iron (iii) oxide

24
What is made using the Haber process?
Ammonia
25
What does Aluminium do to stop it rusting?
- It forms a protective layer of aluminium oxide
26
What can speed up rusting?
- If the water is salty or is acid rain
27
What is an oxidation reaction?
- A reaction where oxygen is added to a substance
28
What doesn't aluminium do?
- Corrode
29
What are the properties of Iron?
- Dense - Magnetic - Malleable - Conducts electricity
30
What are the properties of aluminium?
- Does not corrode - Malleable - Conducts electricity
31
What can a smart alloy do? Example?
- It can be bent and twisted | - Nitinol, has shape energy
32
Name 3 Alloys?
- Amalgam (mercury) - Solder (lead and tin) - Brass (copper and zinc)
33
What is an Alloy?
- A mixture of metal with another element (usually another metal)
34
What do Alloys do?
- Alloys improve the properties ofa metal and make them more useful - They are often harder and stronger than pure metal
35
What is the cathode in electrolysis made from?
- Pure copper
36
What is the Anode in Electrolysis made from?
- Impure copper
37
What happens during Electrolysis?
- Electricity is passed through a liquid or a solution called an electrolyte, to make simpler substances
38
How is copper extracted?
- Copper is extracted from naturally occurring copper ore by heating it with carbon
39
What is a composite material?
- a combination of the best properties of each material
40
What is thermal Decomposition?
A reaction where one material breaks down into two or more new substances when heated
41
What type of rock is Granite?
Igneous
42
What type of Rock is marble.
- Metamorphic
43
What type of Rock is limestone?
- Sedimentary
44
What is the Earth's Lithosphere?
- The relatively cold, rigid outer part of the Earth, made out of the crust and top part of the Mantle
45
What are Tectonic plates?
- The interlocking pieces of the 'cracked' lithosphere > oceanic plates > continental plates > less dense than Mantle
46
What happens when tectonic plates move?
- They move very slowly, about 2.5 cm per year | - Cause earthquakes and volcanoes at the boundaries
47
What are convection currents?
- formed by heat released from radioactive decay in the core | - causes magma to rise to the surface at the boundaries of plates
48
What causes tectonic plates to move?
- the slow movement of Magma caused be convection currents
49
What is subduction?
- When an Oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, it dips down and slides under it - The oceanic plate is partially re-melted as it goes under the continental plate
50
What are igneous rocks?
- hard, have interlocking crystals of different sizes > large crystals are made when the rock cools slowly > small crystals are made when the rock cools quickly
51
What is Lava which is an Iron rich basalt like?
- runny | - fairly 'safe' eruptions
52
What is lava which is silica rich rhyolite like?
- Thick - causes violent and catastrophic eruptions - pumice, volcanic ash and bombs
53
What construction materials come from rocks found in the Earths crust?
- Iron and aluminium ➡️ ores - Brick ➡️ clay - glass, concrete and cement ➡️ sand - limestone, marble, granite and aggregates
