What is marble
A metamorphic rock made of limestone
25
What rock does fresh magma form?
Igneous rock. | Honeycomb
26
One property of igneous rocks
Hard due to crystal minerals
27
Example of an igneous rock
Graphie
28
Where are aluminium and iron extracted?
From ores in rocks
29
How is glass made
Melting sand limestone and soda
30
What are bricks made from
Clay
31
What is a problem with extracting rocks
Either emvirment Quarry's Noise and pollution Danger of unused sites
32
How can you obtain pure copper
Electrolysis
33
What does electrolysis mean
Separating with electricity
34
What's a cathode
The negative side
35
What's a anode
The positive side
36
What is reduction
The gain of electrons
37
What is oxidation
The loss of electrons
38
Oil rig
Oxidation is loss | Reduction is gaiin
39
What does recycling save
Money and resources
40
What is an alloy
A mixture of a metal nod other elements
41
What is steel and alloy of?
Iron and carbon
42
Brass is an alloy of .....
Copper and zinc
43
Bronze is an alloy of.....
Copper and tin
44
Solder is an alloy of.....
Lead and tin
45
Amalgam is an alloy of....
Mercury
46
Nitinol is a special alloy why?
It has shape memory
47
What makes iron corroded
It rusts when in contact with oxygen and watere
48
Rust equation
Iron +oxygen + water = hydrated iron III oxide
49
Why is aluminium a better than steel for car bodies
It has a lower density and is lighter | It corrodes less
50
What elements are used to make a car and where
``` Steel for body work Aluminium for engine Glass Plastics doors and internal Fibers for covers of seats ```
51
What neutralises each other's
Acids and bases
52
What is an indicator
a dye that changes colour
53
The reaction between acids and bases is called what
Neutralisation | Acid+base = salt +water
54
Metal oxides and metal hydroxides are what?
Alkalis and form neutralisation reactions with acids
55
Acids and carbonates produce what?
Carbon dioxide, salt and water
56
Acids and ammonia produce what.....
Ammonium salt
57
What do fertilisers do?
Provide plants with essential elements for growth
58
3 things plants need for growth
Nitrogen Potassium Phosphorus
59
What's the problem with fertilisers
They can damage lakes and rivers
60
What is the sequence that happens in water due to fertilisers
Mega growth Mega death Mega decay
61
What happens in the water when fertilisers go into lakes and rivers EUTROPHICATION
Algae multiply to creat an algae bloom and blocks the light. No photosynthesis = dead plants Dead plants allow bacteria to decay them This uses up hue oxygen and the river dies with the fish too.
62
How do you prepared ammonium nitrate?
You do it in a lab and use a titration to neutralise the acid and base
63
What is yield
It is the mass of product
64
The harber process Is a What type of reaction
Reversible one
65
What does the harber process need
Pressure of 200 atmospheres Temp of 450 Catalyst of iron
66
You need to minimise the cost of production on way is energy prices how do you do this?
High temps mean high running costs so lower temps are better
67
Where is salt mined
Under Cheshire
68
Electrolysis of brine gives what....
Hydrogen chlorine and NaOH
69
What is brine?
Sodium chloride sollution
70
What is given off at the cathode with brine electrolysis?
Hydrogen
72
What is given off at the anode with brine electrolysis
Chloride gass
73
what are optimum conditions?
ones that give the lowest production cost
74
what differs in an euruption of a silica righ rhyolitic lava to an iron-rich basaltic lava euruption
iron-rich basalt lava is runny and so the eurption is fairly safe silica-rich rhyolite is explosive and produces thick lava which can be violenty blown out of the volcano
