Chemistry Flashcards
Alkali
Base that dissolves in water
Acid
Substance that release H+ ions into aqueous solution Sour, corrosive, corrodes metals Turn litmus paper red Reacts some metals releasing H gas Neutralised by base
Base
Substance that release OH-
Caustic, soapy slimy feel, turns red litmus paper blue, bitter, conduct elec, neutralised by acid
Indicator
Chem that changes colour to show whether substance is acidic, neutral or basic
Litmus paper
Indicator- turns red at presence of acid & blue at presence of base
pH
Scale used to measure concentration of H+ ions in solution
Photosynthesis
RXN plants use to produce glucose
Energy absorbed from sun- endothermic
Water + co2 –> glucose + O
Combustion
When something reacts with oxygen, burn or exploding as it does so
If O is restricted
Incomplete combustion, ‘dirty’
aerobic respiration
Combines glucose and oxygen to get E & CO2 + water
Mitochondria has enzymes to assist aerobic
Corrosion
Chem RXN that breaks metals down to form other compounds, oxidation RXN
Periodic table
Groups vertical
Periods Horizontal
Left side - bases
Right side/group 7 , can be all acidic
Materials from volcano
HSO, ash, volcanic rock, lava, steam
Layers of earth
P&s waves used, travel at diff speed through diff materials
Evidence of PT
Seafloor spreading, magnet striping, mountains & volcanoes, ocean ridges, trenches, volcanic islands/arc, island arc, age of Seafloor, sediment thickness, rock patterns, glacial evidence, rift valleys
