Q

Describe complete combustion

A

Box of oxygen, so all of the carbon atoms combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, and all of the hydrogen atoms combine with oxygen to form water

Q

Describe incomplete combustion

A

Not enough oxygen present, so carbon monoxide and solid carbon soot are produced in addition to carbon dioxide and water

25
Is a hot pack for injuries an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
Exothermic
26
Is a tree growing an exothermic or endothermic reaction
Endothermic
27
What is a catalyst
A chemical that speeds up a chemical reaction, but does not get used up itself. They are written over the aero because they are neither react against nor products.
28
What is corrosion
Corrosion is the break down of a metal as a result of chemical reactions with its environment
29
What are 3 ways to prevent corrosion
1. Use a protective coating with rust inhabiting paint, chrome or plastic 2. Use resistant materials such as plastic 3. Using galvanizing steel because when cooled with a thin layer of zinc it protects steel cause zinc corrodes
30
Horizontal rows are called what
Peroids
31
Vertical columns are called what
Groups or families
32
What is ionization
When atoms lose or gain electrons to become stable
33
What are positively charged ions called
Cations
34
What are negatively charged ions called?
Anions
35
What is a binary compound
A type of pure matter containing two different elements in a fixed ratio
36
What is a covalent bond
When atoms obtain full valence energy by sharing electrons
37
Ammonia
NH3
38
What are acids
Molecules that dissolve in water to produce hydrogen ions
39
Name the 3 types of acids
Binary oxyacid and organic
40
Multicellular organisms are made up of what
Specialized cells
41
Totipotent cells have the ability to do what
To divide and produce all of the different cells
42
Pluripotent cells have the potential to do what
Differentiate into any of the three germ layers
43
What are the three germ layers
Endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm
44
Red blood cells
Carry oxygen in blood
45
Muscle cells
Arranged in bundles called fibers and can contract
46
Fat cells
Have large vacuole stores chemical energy
47
Skin cells
Fits together tightly to cover body and protects the cells inside and reduces water loss
48
White blood cells
Engulf bacteria and fights infection
49
Nerve cells
Long, thin and have many branches, conduct electrical impulses to coordinate body
50
Bone cells
Collect calcium from food, allow growth and repair phones
