40
Q

rusting equation

A

iron + water + oxygen > hydrated iron (III) oxide

41
Q

name two ores

A
  • hematite = iron (III) oxide
  • bauxite = aluminium oxide
42
Q

extraction of iron

A
  1. coke burns and produces carbon dioxide, which is an exothermic reaction and heats the furnace
  2. coke reacts with carbon dioxide and forms carbon monoxide -reduction
  3. carbon monoxide reduces iron (III) oxide to iron
  4. calcium carbonate in the limestone thermally decomposes to calcium oxide
  5. calcium oxide and silicon dioxide (impurity) form calcium silicate
43
Q

70% iron
20% chromium
10% nickel

44
Q

95% copper
5% tin

46
Q

mild steel

A

99.7% iron
0.3% carbon

47
Q

in solution what is produced at each electrode

A

cathode = metal or oxygen
anode =halide or oxygen

48
Q

extracting aluminium from bauxite

A
  1. purify ore into pure aluminium or alumina Al2O3
  2. dissolve in molten cryolite, to reduce mpt and improve conductivity
  3. electrolysis using carbon electrodes at 950 C
    -cathode = molten aluminium
    -anode = oxygen gas -attacks carbon and produces CO2
49
Q

the homologous series

A
  • alkanes CnH2n+2
  • alkenes CnH2n
  • alcohols CnH2n+1OH
  • carboxylic acid CnH2nO2

A

dicarboxylic acid + diol
ester linkage
eg. PET

64
Q

what is the reverse of polymerisation

A

hydrolysis

65
Q

exothermic and endothermic

endothermic = takes in heat (+)

66
Q

the Haber process

A

ammonia

  1. nitrogen from air and hydrogen from methane are mixed
  2. flow through converter with beds of iron catalyst at 450C
  3. temp cools as ammonia condenses the unused gases are recycled

N2 + 3H2 <> 2NH3

67
Q

the Contact process

A

sulfuric acid
