Q

What are the types of Chemical Reactions?

A

Synthesis - 2 or more substances combine to create a new compound: A+B->AB

Decomposition Reaction - One compound breaks down into 2 or more products. AB->A+B

Single Displacement - Atoms of one element take the place of another in a compound and kick the other element out. Metal will always replace metal and a non-metal will always replace a non-metal. A+BC->AC+B

Double Displacement - Two compounds exchange elements (metals) to form two new substances. Usually forms a precipitate (solid). AB+CD->AD+CB

Combustion - Rapid reaction of an organic compound with oxygen. Complete combustion will produce CO2 and H2O.

Neutralization - An ACID and a BASE (if only one, double displacement) react to produce water and a salt (ionic compound). They neutralize each other. HX+YOH->H2O+XY

Q

10 Parts of Kinetic Molecular Theory

A

All matter consists of atoms.
Atoms may join together to form compounds.
Solids usually maintain both shape and volume.
Liquids usually maintain their volume, but no their shape.
Gases do not maintain shape or volume, they expand to fit their container.
The motion of particles is random.
The particle motion is greatest in gas, less in liquids, least in solids.
Collisions between atoms and molecules transfer energy between them.
Particles in motion possess kinetic energy.
Particles in gases do not exert large forces on one another unless they are colliding.

Q

3 ways that heat moves.

A

Conduction - between neighbouring molecules in a substance. Ex. Heating up one end of a metal rod heats the other.

Convection - transfer of heat when heated liquid or gas particles move from one location to another. Ex. Wall heater heats air which rises to create a circular convection current.

Radiation - Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves. Heat radiation is the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ex. The sun.

Unlike other substances, water is most dense at 4C, then becomes less dense as it gets colder. This is why frozen pipes break, or frozen cans explode.

63
Q

Difference between echos and reverberations?

A

64
Q

65
Q

How does ultrasound work?

A

Ultrasound waves (high frequency) are partially reflected by different sound tissues.

Echos are timed and used to create a computerized image.

66
Q

Why does sound travel farther at night?

A

At night, the ground is cooler compared to the air, causing soundwaves to refract downwards (and if the surface is smooth, they can ‘bounce’ and continue).

At the day, the ground is warmer than the air, causing the sound to refract upwards causing the sound to quickly diminish.

A

The apparent change in frequency of a wave caused by relative motion between the source of the wave and the observer.
