Q

electrolytes are often … … solutions made from the ore (e.g. copper sulfate) or … … oxides

A

metal
salt
molten metal

25
the electrolyte has ... ions which ... the electricity
free | conduct
26
electrons are taken away by the .... and given away by the ...
(positive) anode | (negative) cathode
27
How is electrolysis used to get copper?
1) electrons pulled off copper atoms at the anode -> Cu(+2) ions 2) Cu(+2) ions near the cathode gain electrons and turn back into copper atoms 3) impurities are dropped at the anode as a sludge, while pure copper atoms bond to the cathode
28
the anode is a ... of ... copper which will ...
big lump impure copper dissolve
29
the cathode starts as a ... piece of ... copper and more pure copper adds to it
thin piece | pure copper
30
displacement reaction example: copper sulfate + iron -> ... + ...
iron sulfate + copper
31
Scientists are looking into new ways of extracting copper from .... ores
low-grade ores (ores that only contain small amounts of copper)
32
Examples of new methods to extract copper are .... and .... Although they have a smaller impact on the environment, the disadvantage is that they're ...
bioleaching phytomining slow
33
Bioleaching uses ... to separate copper from ... ...
bacteria | copper sulfide
34
Phytomining involves growing ... in soil that contains copper which gradually builds up in the ...
plants | leaves
35
in phytomining, the plants can be ... , ... and ... in a furnace, where the copper is collected from the ash left in the furnace
harvested dried burned
36
Mining metal ores is good for the environment because it means ... , provides ... and brings ... into the area
useful products can be made local people with jobs money
37
Mining metal ore is bad for the environment because it causes ... , ... and loss of ...
noise scarring of the landscape loss of habitats
38
What does burning fossil fuels contribute to? (3)
Acid rain, global dimming, and climate change
39
Metals (especially transition metals have everyday uses because of the properties such as...
strength and 'bendability' | conductivity
40
Copper's 4 properties
good conductor of electricity hard and strong can be bent doesn't react with water
41
Aluminum's 3 properties
corrosion-resistant low density forms hard, strong alloys
42
Titanium's 3 properties
corrosion-resistant low density very strong
43
Alloys are harder than pure metals because..
the different sized atoms of the mixed metals make the atomic layers less regular so they can't slide as easily
44
Crude oil is a mixture of.. and the mixture is split into.. by...
hydrocarbons fractions fractional distillation
45
The crude oil ... and then ... at different levels
vaporises/evaporates | condenses
46
small molecules are at the ... of a fractional distillation column and have the properties of.. (4)
top low boiling point very volatile (turns into gas at a lower temp) flows easily ignites easily
47
large molecules are at the ... of a fractional distillation column and have the properties of.. (4)
top high boiling point not very volatile (turns into gas at a higher temp) doesn't flow easily doesn't ignite easily
48
