Q

Explain a displacement reaction.

A

A more reactive metal will displace or push out a less reactive metal from its compound in a displacement reaction. The less reactive metal is left uncombined after the reaction. It is no longer chemically bonded to any other
elements.

Q

How do metals get extracted from their ores?

A

Metals more reactive than carbon will be extracted by electrolysis.
Metals less reactive than carbon can be extracted by reduction from carbon by displacing the metal compound.
Metals less reactive than hydrogen can be found natively.

Q

What is an exothermic reaction?

A

Energy exits from the system to the surroundings this causes an increase in temperature - More bonds are made than broken

25
Which charges attract?
Opposites
26
What is static electricity?
When friction is created between two insulators, and causes them to attract, where one insulator is positive and the other is negative and they attract.
27
What is transferred in static electricity?
Electrons
28
What type of force is Magnetism?
Non-contact
29
What is permanent magnet?
A magnet that always causes a force on other magnets and magnetic materials
30
Name the two key features of permanent magnets
- It produces its own magnetic field - The magnet cannot be turned on and off
31
What is an induced magnet?
An induced magnet is only a magnet when it is placed in a magnetic field, its magnetism is lost when it is not placed in a magnetic field
32
What are the only magnetic elements?
Nickel, Cobalt, Iron
33
What do closer lines in a magnetic field mean?
The magnetic field is stronger
34
How does a compass always point north?
A compass always points north, because it attracts the north of Earths magnetic field with the South Pole of the magnet in the compass
35
What is an electromagnet?
An electromagnet is when a current flows along a wire causing a magnetic field around the wire
36
What is a solenoid?
A Coil of wire
37
What 3 things increase the strength of an electromagnet?
Increase the current, Increase the number of coils, Insert an iron core
38
Do solenoids and bar magnets have identical magnetic fields?
Yes
39
What is a conductor?
A material that lets electricity pass through. All metals are conductors
40
Do conductors have low or high resistance?
Low
41
Do insulators have a low or high resistance?
High
41
What is an insulator?
An insulator is a material that does not let electricity pass through?
42
What is electric current?
The flow of electrons around a circuit, the electrons can only flow in a closed circuit
43
Why do metals conduct electricity?
Because of their free delocalised electrons, which collide and conduct both heat and electricity.
44
Why do insulators not conduct electricity?
Because the electrons are stuck in place
45
What is current?
How many electrons pass in one second.
46
What is the unit for current?
Amps (A)
47
What do we measure instead of the no of electrons?
Charge
48
What is a series circuit?
Components are connected in one continuous loop.
49
What is the unit for charge?
Coulombs
50
What if one bulb breaks in a series circuit?
The other will go out
51
What is a parallel circuit?
Components are connected on separate branches
52
What will the current be at any point of a series circuit?
The same
53
What happens to the current in a parallel circuit?
The current splits down the branch
54
What is the test for starch?
Add iodine solution to the food and if a colour change of blue-black occurs then it contains starch
55
What is the test for protein?
Biuret’s solution and wait for a purple colour change to occur
56
What is the test for reducing sugar?
Put the food in a boiling tube and add Benedict’s solution and place in a hot water bath, and if it has a colour change of green/yellow/green then it contains reducing sugar.
57
What is the test for lipids?
The reagent for lipids are a white emulsion
58
What is a vitamin?
It is a substance needed for bodily functions that cannot be synthesised by the body
59
What is a mineral?
An ion that is needed for bodily functions that can be synthesised by the body
