Percentage of nitrogen in air
78
Percentage of oxygen in air
21
Percentage of argon in air
0.96
Percentage of carbon dioxide in air
0.04
Equation for the percentage of oxygen in the air?
% O2 = initial vol - final vol / 100 x100
Reasons that % of O2 wasn’t 21
- metal not heated for long enough
- leaky apparatus
What is element combustion
Element combustion is when an element reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide.
Element + Oxygen → Element oxide
What does a metal reacted with oxygen produce?
metal oxide
What does a non-metal reacted with oxygen produce?
non-metal dioxide
What are the three important combustions
1) 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)
2) S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g)
3) 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)
Observation of the reaction between magnesium and oxygen?
- bright white light
- white powder formed
Observation of the reaction between sulfur and oxygen?
blue flame
Observation of the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen?
squeaky pop

What type of solution do metal oxides form?
Alkaline
What type of solution do non- metal dioxides form?
acidic
What steps could you take to find out whether an element was a metal or non-metal?
- Combust it in oxygen
- Dissolve the oxide formed
- Check the pH of the solution with an indicator
Definition of an acid
H+ donor
Definition of an alkali
OH- donor
Definition of a base
H+ acceptor
What do have to do when multiplying polyatomic ions in chemical formulae?
USE BRACKETS
acid + base equation
Acid + Base → Salt + Water
Observation from an acid and base reaction?
The base disappears
acid + carbonate equation
Acid + Carbonate → Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide
Observations from acid and carbonate reaction?
- the carbonate disappears
- there is fizzing
