16
Q

Why is ozone important

A

It absorbs some radiation from the sun which protects the earth’s surface. Protects us from the ultraviolet rays

17
Q

In what layer of the atmosphere is the ozone layer located

A

stratosphere

18
Q

2 reactions that make ozone

A

O2 -> O + O
O + O2 -> O3

19
Q

What is the energy source that makes the first reaction take place

A

ultra violet radiation

20
Q

What type of chemical reaction is the first reaction

A

decomposition

21
Q

What type of chemical reaction is the second reaction

A

synthesis

22
Q

determine if something is an element, compound, or mixture

A

Element cannot be broken down, compound can be broken down by chemical reactions, mixture can be broken down by physical reactions

23
Q

parts of a chemical equation

A

reactants yield products

24
Q

the law of constant proportions is and how it relates to chemical formulas and chemical reactions

A

law of constant proportions – the numbers in a compound formula cannot be changed, ratios are constant

25
Q

how was the law of constant proportions was shown in the decomposition of water lab and zinc in hydrochloric acid lab

A

2 hydrogens to one oxygen and the ratio stays the same

26
Q

when a reaction uses up one of the reactants the reaction stops and relate this to the zinc in hydrochloric acid lab

A

Limiting reactant, runs out of one of two reactants, ran out of hydrochloric acid

27
Q

how chemical reactions differ from physical reactions

A

bigger changes, minor changes, new substance, no new substance, heat change, minor heat change,
