Q

the explanation for the second equation in the blast furnace process

A

Carbon dioxide then reacts with further coke to form carbon monoxide as it is reduced due to incomplete combustion. Forming slag.

31
Q

the explanation for the thirst equation in the blast furnace process

A

Limestone is added to remove acidic impurities found in hematite, it decomposes when heated to form carbon dioxide and calcium oxide

32
Q

the explanation for the fourth equation in the blast furnace process

A

Main impurities in hematite, sand SiO2 reacts with the calcium oxide to form a stable compound slag, CaSiO3 which floats above molten iron and can be easily removed

33
Q

the explanation for the fifth equation in the blast furnace process

A

CO is the main reducing agent that reduces reduced Fe2O3 to become Fe in its purest form.

34
Q

what are the three stell alloys

wat does metal plating do

A

Coat with more reactive metal

59
Q

which coating is cheaper

A

Coating with a protective layer

60
Q

what is an method of sacrificial protection

A

Galvanising

61

Steel pipes

69
Q

3 advantages of recycling

A
  • saves costs needed to extract new metals from their ores
  • saves cost of dumping in landfills
  • lesser water metals to be dumped, less pollution of soil and water
70
Q

3 disadvantage of recycling

A
  • expensive to collect sort and transport the metals
  • recycling process may form air pollutants
  • the less valuable metals that are on abundance will be thrown away and pollute soil and water
71
Q

Define alloy

A

An alloy is an mixture of a metal with one or a few other elements

72
Q

Define Recycling

A

Reusing waste materials to make usable products

73
Q

why are alloys stronger and harder than pure metals

A

In pure metals, layers of atoms are of same size and in orderly arrangements, therefore more solve between the gaps and can slide past one another therefore pure metals are weaker.
In alloys, layers of atoms are of different sizes and orderly arrangement Is disrupted, so lesser between gaps and cannot slide paste each other easily, therefore alloys are stronger

74
Q

what happens when zinc meatal is placed in copper 2 chloride solution

A
  • blue solution turns colourless and pinkish brown deposits can be found on metal bar
  • zinc is more reactive than copper therefore it can displace copper from copper two chloride
75
Q

what happens if copper metal is placed in zinc chloride solution.

A
  • no visible reaction , solution remains colourless
  • copper is less reactive than zinc so it cannot displace zinc from zinc two chloride
