Carbon+______ ----> carbon dioxide | Complete the word equation.
Carbon + oxygen----> carbon dioxide
26
_______ + oxygen---> iron oxide | Complete the word equation.
Iron + oxygen---> iron oxide
27
Sulfur+ oxygen--->_______ | Complete the word equation
Sulfur + oxygen---> sulfur dioxide
28
What are the 3 signs that a chemical reaction is taking place?
The change of colour When you see a difference in temperature When you can see bubbles/ fizzing occurring
29
What is the formula of aluninium oxide?
AI203
30
How would you balance AI + O2---> AI2 03?
You have 1 AI(aluminium) and 2 oxygen for the reactants side and you have 2 AI and 3 oxygen, so you would change the first AI on the reactants side to a 4 AI and 3O2 and then keep 2 AI for the product and keep O3 to have 3 oxygens,now its balanced
31
Balance N2+ H2---> NH3
You have 2 nitrogens and 2 hydrogens for your reactants and for your products you have 1 nitrogen and 3 Hydrogens so first you change the 1 nitogen in the products by having 2N and keep the 3 hydrogens on that side but then u must change the 2 hydrogens to the 3 hydrogens to 3H2 for the reactants so now you have 2 nitrogens and 6 hydrogens, its balanced
32
``` Compelte the word equation. Sodium hydroxide+hydrochloric acid NaOH. HCI --->_________. + _________ _________ _________ ```
Sodium chloride + water | NaCI. H2O
33
In experiment 1, molly put 2 beakers on a balance. One contained 20cm of hydrochloric acid and other one had 20cm of sodium hydroxide. The total mass was 163.5g. She poured the(hydrochloric) acid onto the sodium hydroxide solution,they reacted but did NOT change(it still read 163.5g),why did the reading not change?
Its because she used the same hydrochloric acid she already had so after it reacted with the sodium hydroxide it wouldn't have changed beacuse you used the same chemical and measurements she already had, she didnt add anything different.
34
In experiment 2, molly put 2 beakerson a balance. One contained 20cm of hydrochloric acid. The other contained 5g of sodium carbonate. She poured the (hydrochloric) acid onto the sodium carbonate. They reacted. Complete the word equation with the names of the other 3 products.
Sodium carbonate+ hydrochloric acid---> sodium chloride+carbon dioxide+ water
35
Pt2:)The total mass at the start was 149.0g. When the reaction stopped,the reading on the balance was 147.0g. Why was there a loss of mass?
Because the gas escaped,which means mass went down
36
What 3 main columns are diatomic elemants found in the periodic table?
Columns are: 7 and some in 6 and 5
37
What are diatomic elements?
They are elements that are all found to have pairs e.g nitrogen
38
What are columns and rows called on a periodic table?
``` Columns= groups Rows= periods ```
39
What is the mass number and what is the atomic number mean in an element?
The mass number is always the biggest number(or the number always on the top) The atomic number represents how many protons there are.
40
What are the charges of: a proton, a neutron and an electron?
``` Proton= +1( positive) Neutron= 0( neutral) Electron= -1(negative) ```

57
Who was Döbreiner and wat did he do?
German scientist,Johan Döbreiner was one of the first to think about grouping elements into sub-groups of 3 An example of his groups are:chlorine,bromine and iodine because they behaved similarly. He calculated that atomic weight of bromine was approximately the same average of chlorine and iodine His new elements:caesium(1860), fluorine(1886) and geranium(1886) didnt fit into a group so they werent accepted at first.
58
Who was Newlands and what did he do?
English scientist, who looked at chemical elements from the lowest to the highest ad spotted every eighth element had similiar chemical and physical properties.(1864) He grouped them into groups of 8
59
Who was mendeleev and what did he do?
Russian chemist, Dmitri Mendeleev, ranked the elements according to their atomic mass, he lokked fpr repeated pattterns Where there were no gaps, he was confident in his ideas that not only did he leave a space but predict that had been not yet discovered The last groups of elements to be discovered were noble gases, this was because they were increative
60
How do you find the protons, electrons and neutrons in an element?
You find the protons and electrons by using the atomic number( the bottom number) for both and to find the neutron, you subtract the two numbers of the element.
61
What does the group number tell you?
It tells us how many electrons it has in its outer shell
62
Why are group 1 metals stored in oil?
Its because if it was to react with oxygen, it would react very strongly.
63
What happens when lithium reacts with water?
It fizzes, gas is produced and reacts normally
64
What happens when sodium reacts with water?
It smokes, fizzes and reacts slightly faster
65
What happens when potassium reacts with water?
It sparks, smokes and reacted the fastest
66
What happens when calcium reacts with water?
It fizzes, gas is produced and reacts the slowest.
67
What colour does the water go after all the previous chemicals have reacted with universal indicator?
It turns the colour blue
68
What is the pattern in this experiment?
The reactivity of group 1 metals used increases as you go down the group.
69
How much is the first shell worth of electrons?
Its worth 2 electrons
70
How much after the 2nd shell would it be worth?
It would be worthy of 8 electrons
