16
Q

Polymers

A

Large molecules made up of joined monomers

17
Q

Polymerization

A

Bracket whole formula with single bond and put an ‘n’ at the right outside of the bracket. Leave everything else like it was

18
Q

Pros and cons of polymers

A

Pro- They are very useful and unreactive

Cons-Hard to dispose off

19
Q

Recycling polymers

A

Even tho recycling is useful, it’s hard and expensive because you have to separate the different types of plastics

20
Q

Use sugar instead of Ethane to produce ethanol

A

Use sugar because its renewable by fermentation using fungi

21
Q

Ethanol formula

A

C2H5OH

22
Q

How calcium hydroxide is obtained from calcium carbonate?

A

Thermal decomposition
Strongly heat up calcium carbonate and it will produce calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide will then react with water to produce calcium hydroxide.

23
Q

Calcium hydroxide

A

An alkali that neutralists excess acidity

24
Q

Cement

A

Heat powdered limestone with clay.

25
Q

Mortar

A

Used to bind bricks together, mix cement, sand and water

26
Q

Concrete

A

Mix cement, sand, water and aggregate

27
Q

Pros and cons of using Limestone, mortar and concrete as building materials

A

react with carbon dioxide dissolved in rain water and will wear away. This damages them. Pollution from burning fossil fuels makes the rain more acidic than it should be, and this acid rain makes these problems worse.
Concrete is useful because it could be easily shaped into shapes before it hardens and it is strong when it is squashed.

28
Q

Metals

A

Are produced when metal oxides are reduced. The reduction depends on their reactivity.

29
Q

Different metals and extraction methods

A

Potassium - electrolysis
Zinc - Carbon monoxide
Gold - Other methods

30
Q

Characteristics of Transition metals

A

Good heat and electrical conductors
Hammered and shaped easily
Titanium and iron

31
Q

Phytomining

A

Burning vegetables and use the ash that contains the metals compounds

32
Q

Bioleaching

A

Using bacterial leachates that contain copper compounds

33
Q

Extracting titanium and aluminum is expensive because

A

The process takes a lot of stages

Large amount of energy are needed

34
Q

Fractional distillation

A

Separation of liquid mixtures into different temperature columns

35
Q

Complete combustion

A

Carbon will be oxidized into carbon dioxide

36
Q

Incomplete combustion

A

Water will still be produced but carbon monoxide will be produced and it is a toxic gas
