60
Q

The chemical reaction in burning natural gas is the reaction of methane (CH4) with oxygen (O2) in the air. If excess oxygen is used, the products would be gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H2O)

A

Complete Combustion

61
Q

If insufficient oxygen is available, we would have an incomplete combustion, producing

A

poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) and soot (C)

62
Q

Insufficient oxygen would also result in a cooler, yellow flame, called a

A

luminous flame

63
Q

due to small particles of soot being burned to incandescence

A

Yellow color

64
Q

what are we going to do if we need a hotter flame

A

we would need to introduce more oxygen, by mixing
more air with the methane gas before combustion

65
Q

the hotter the flame what color it represents

A

blue

66
Q

what is the hottest part of the flame

A

the tip of the inner blue cone of the flame

67
Q

controls how much natural gas (methane) is piped to the Bunsen
burner. When the handle is pointed straight at you, the valve is fully opened. You close the valve by turning the handle either left or right. The gas goes to the Gas Inlet through a piece of rubber tubing.

A

The Gas Valve

68
Q

at the bottom of the burner controls how much methane goes
from the Gas Inlet into the Barrel

A

The Needle Valve

69
Q

control how much oxygen from the air is mixed with the methane. You adjust it by holding the Barrel (before it gets hot) and turning it either direction, to open or close the air vents. If you want a very hot flame, you would open this parts to allow a maximum amount of oxygen to mix with the methane. You might have to also use the Needle Valve to allow less methane in so that there is a higher ratio of O2 to CH4.

A

The Air Vents

70
Q

colourless, odourless gas that occurs abundantly in nature and as a product of certain human activities. This is the simplest member of the paraffin series of hydrocarbons and is among the most potent of the greenhouse gases. Its chemical formula is CH4.

A

Methane

71
Q

a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat. The original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer. The fuel can be a solid, liquid, or gas, although for airplane propulsion the fuel is usually a liquid.

A

Combustion

72
Q

the emission of electromagnetic radiation (including visible light) from a hot body as a result of its rising temperature.

A

Incandescence

73
Q

unique because the properties of water allow it to exist in all three states of matter

A

Water

74
Q

Water is usually a liquid, but when it reaches to what Fahrenheit (F), it freezes into ice.

A

32°

75
Q

the solid state of water

A

Ice

76
Q

When water reaches what F, it boils. When it begins to boil, some of the water turns into steam

A

212° F

77
Q

the gas state of water, and is also called water vapor

A

Steam

78
Q

Normally, when water reaches what F it begins to freeze.

A

32°

79
Q

it lowers the freezing point of water and is often used to melt dangerous ice off of roads and sidewalks in the winter.

A

Salt

80
Q

particles are very close together, so they cannot be squeezed. The
attraction between nearby particles in a solid is usually strong. Because there are such strong bonds between the particles, solids usually have a fixed shape and a constant volume. The particles in solids cannot move freely; instead Particles in a solid they vibrate in a fixed position.

A

Solid

81
Q

particles are held together by attraction, but the bonds between them are weaker than those in solids. The particle attraction allows the particles to roll over each other, but they can’t ‘escape’. It have a fixed volume, but the rolling motion of the particles allows them
to take up the shape of their container. As in solids, the particles are still very close together, so it is cannot be Particles in a liquid compressed into smaller spaces

A

Liquid

82
Q

spread out and will not stay in a container unless it has a lid. The particles have much more energy than those in solids or liquids, and are constantly moving. The attraction between the particles in this is so weak that they can move freely in all directions. They spread out and take up any space that is available, so this have no fixed shape or
volume. Because of the large spaces between Particles, it can be
compressed.

A

Gas

83
Q

composed of different types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically bonded

A

Mixture

84
Q

a mixture of two or more chemical substances where the
various components can be visually distinguished

A

Heterogenous mixture

85
Q

a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and
every part of the solution has the same properties

A

Homogeneous mixture

86
Q

The scattering of visible light by colloidal particles. You have
undoubtedly “seen” a light beam as it passes through fog, smoke, or a scattering of dust particles suspended in air. All three are examples of colloids. Suspensions may scatter light, but if the number of suspended particles is sufficiently large, the suspension may
simply be opaque, and the light scattering will not occur

A

Tyndall effect

87
Q

the process that takes place when a substance (or substances) are brought into contact with each other and produce a new substance(s)

A

Chemical Reaction

88
Q

The substance (or substances) initially involved in the chemical reaction are called

A

reactants or reagents

89
Q

usually characterized by a chemical change, and they yield
one or more products, which usually have properties different from the reactants

A

Chemical Reaction

90
Q

represented by Chemical Equations

A

Chemical Reaction

91
Q

balanced to show the same number of atoms of each element on each side

A

Chemical Equation

92
Q

states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. What this means is that even though different substances are created during the process of a chemical reaction, none of the reactant atoms are lost. They are simply rearranged into the new substances

A

Law of Conservation of Mass

93
Q

any process which requires or absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings, usually in the form of heat. It may be a chemical process, such as dissolving ammonium nitrate in water, or a physical process, such as the melting of ice cubes

A

Endothermic

94
Q

describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light, electricity, or sound.
