A

Fractions have names and different uses

22
Q

Other than boiling points what do fractions differ in?

A

Fractions also differ in viscosity and flammability

23
Q

What is acid rain caused by?

A

Acid rain is caused when gases such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide dissolve in water in the atmosphere

24
Q

What does acid rain do?

A

Acid rain kills fish in rivers, erodes buildings and destroys plant life.

25
Q

How is sulphur dioxide produced

A

Sulphur dioxide is produced when fossil fuels are burned

28
Q

What is photosynthesis

A

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, using ,gout energy in the presence of chlorophyll

29
Q

Why are carbohydrates an important food for animals?

A

They provide energy

30
Q

What happens when carbohydrates are burned?

A

Because carbohydrates release energy, they produce carbon dioxide and water when burned.

A

Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide

32
Q

How are alcoholic drinks made?

A

Alcoholic drinks can be made from any fruit or vegetable which is a source of starch or sugars.

33
Q

What is an enzyme in yeast?

A

An enzyme in yeast is the catalyst for the reaction of alcohol

34
Q

How does the type of alcoholic drink vary?

A

The type of alcoholic drink varies with the plant source of the carbohydrate.

35
Q
