what is an indicator
it is a substance that changes colour to tell you about the pH of a solutuon
the universal indicator is special because
the range of colours tells you the approximate pH
effervescence is
the escape of gas from an aqueous solution (salt CARBONATE)
nitrogen % in air
N2 = 78%
oxygen % in air
O2 = 21%
argon % in air
Ar = 0.96%
carbon dioxide % in air
CO2 = 0.04%
what is element combustion
it’s when an element reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide
sulphur + oxygen -> sulphur dioxide
S(s) + O2(g) -> SO2(g) v
sulphur dioxide observation is
a blue flame
