Q

What is the gas test for oxygen?

A

The glowing splint test. If you light a splint then blow it out. You then need to place it over the substance. If the splint relights then you know that it contains oxygen. This is because you need to have oxygen, heat and fuel for a fire to occur.

52
Q

What is the gas test for Carbon dioxide?

A

If you bubble the gas through limewater and if it turns cloudy then carbon dioxide is present.

53

A

Shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat, malleable.

54
Q

What properties do most metals have in common?

A

Dull, poor conductors of heat and electricity, weak and brittle

56
Q

A

Low density, and not sonorous (they do not make a ringing sound when hit)

57
Q

What is the word equation for the reaction of non metals and oxygen (non metal oxides)?

A

non metal+ oxygen–>non metal dioxide

58
Q

What are rocks made from and what are in them?

A

They are made of grains that fit together. Each grain in a piece of rock is made from a mineral, which is a chemical compound.

59
Q

How can the grains in a rock vary?

A

They can have different colours, shapes and sizes

60
Q

What are the two types of grains and an example of a rock from each?

A

Interlocking grains (granite) and rounded grains (sandstone)

61
Q

What are the two types of rocks?

A

Porous and non-porous rocks

62
Q

What type of grains of rocks absorb water better?

A

Rocks with rounded grains are more likely to absorb water than rocks with interlocking grains. This is because the water can get into the gaps between the grains.

63
Q

What type of rocks and grains are more soft?

A

Rocks with rounded grains are usually softer and more crumbly than rocks with interlocking grains. So porous rocks tend to be softer than non-porous rocks.

64
Q

How are igneous rocks formed?

A

Igneous rocks are formed from molten rock that has cooled and solidified. When the magma cools enough, it solidifies and igneous rock forms.

65
Q

What type of crystals are igneous rock c?

A

Igneous rocks contain randomly arranged interlocking crystals.

66
Q

How does the size of the crystals of igneous rock depend on how quickly the molten magma solidifies?

A

Magma that cools slowly will form an igneous rock with large crystals. Lava that cools quickly will form an igneous rock with small crystals

67
Q

What are the two types of igneous rock?

A

Intrusive and extrusive

68
Q

What does an extrusive igneous rock mean?

A

Extrusive igneous rocks form from magma that erupted onto the surface as lava, where it cooled quickly. The size of these crystals are small and some example of extrusive igneous rocks are obsidian and basalt.

69
Q

What does an intrusive igneous rock mean and what are some examples?

A

Intrusive igneous rocks form from magma that cooled slowly, deep underground in the earths crust. They have large crystals and some examples of intrusive igneous rocks are granite and gabbro.

70
Q

Can igneous rocks contain fossils? Explain why.

A

Igneous rocks do not contain any fossils. This is because any fossils in the original rock will have melted when the rock melted to form magma.

71
Q

How are sedimentary rocks formed? (short)

A

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the broken remains of other rocks that become joined together.

72
Q

What is the full process of the sedimentation?

A

A river carries, or transports, pieces of broken rock as it flows along. When the river reaches a lake or the sea, its load of transported rocks settles to the bottom. We say that the rocks are deposited. The deposited rocks build up in layers, called sediments.

73
Q

What is the full process of the cementation?

A

The weight of the sediments on top squashes the sediments at the bottom. This is called compaction. The water is squeezed out from between the pieces of rock and crystals of different salts form. The crystals stick the pieces of rock together.

74
Q

How long does it take for sedimentary rocks to form?

A

Millions of years

75
Q

What is the process order of the formation of sedimentary rocks?

A

transport → deposition → sedimentation → compaction → cementation

76
Q

What type of grains form sedimentary rocks?

A

Rounded grains in layers

77
Q

Can sedimentary rocks contain fossils? Explain why.

A

Sedimentary rocks may contain fossils of animals and plants trapped in the sediments as the rock was formed. This is due to the long time frame that is taken to built and form this type of rock.

78
Q

What are 4 examples of sedimentary rocks?

A

Chalk, Limestone, Shale, Sandstone

79
Q

How are metamorphic rocks formed?

A

Metamorphic rocks are formed from other rocks that are changed because of heat or pressure. They are not made from molten rock – rocks that do melt form igneous rocks instead.

80
Q

How are metamorphic rocks put under pressure and how does it change?

A

Earth movements can cause rocks to be deeply buried or squeezed. As a result, the rocks are heated and put under great pressure. They do not melt, but the minerals they contain are changed chemically, forming metamorphic rocks.

81
Q

What is an example of a metamorphic rock and what was it before?

A

Marble is formed from limestone and contains tiny interlocking grains.

82
Q

Slate is a metamorphic rock. What was it before and how can it be useful for buildings?

A

The layers in slate, formed from shale, are arranged in layers. This makes slate useful for making roof tiles because it can be split into separate flat sheets.

83
Q

Can metamorphic rocks contain fossils? Explain why.

A

Metamorphic rocks rarely contain fossils. Any that were present in the original sedimentary rock will not normally survive the heat and pressure.

84
Q

What is sublimation?

A

This means that they go straight from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state.

85
Q

What substances sublime?

A

Iodine, carbon dioxide, plug in air fresheners, ink in printers and photocopiers, comets as they approach the Sun

86
Q

What is condensation?

A

If you cool a gas into a liquid

87
Q

What is thermal decomposition and an example?

A

Thermal decomposition is when substance breaks into simpler substances when it is heated.
Calcium carbonate = Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide

88
Q

What is an exothermic reaction?

A

Where energy in a reaction is released into the outside area which makes substances hotter in the outside area

89
Q

What is an endothermic reaction?

A

This is where the reactions energy is taken into the reacting substances so it enters the reaction.

90
Q

What is a neutralisation reaction definition and an example equation?

A

Acid + base –> base will dissolve to form an alkali

Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium chloride + water

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H20

91
Q

What is the Law of Conservation of mass?

A

The mass of the reactants should be equal to the mass of the products

92
Q

What is a physical property? Give some examples.

A

A physical property is something that does not change the chemical identity. An example is boiling point as it is still H2O.

93
Q

What is a chemical property? Give some examples

106
Q

Describe how Mendeleev sorted out the elements into his version of the periodic table. [4 marks]

A

Mendeleev sorted the elements into his own version of the periodic table in increasing order of atomic mass ; however, Mendeleev swapped some around so that they lined up in groups with similar chemical properties. Also, the metals are placed on the left of the periodic table leaving the right side to occupy the non-metals. The actual table is sorted into rows and columns, the rows are called periods and the columns are called groups. Mendeleev also left spaces in his periodic table because he acknowledged that there were some undiscovered elements. However, Mendeleev could estimate the properties of these gaps due to the placements and the similarities between the elements.

107
Q

Which statement about the periodic table is not true?

A there are more metal elements than non-metal elements

B the metals are on the right of the table and the non-metals on the left

C metals such as iron, copper and gold are all transition metals
D metals such as sodium and magnesium are not transition metals

A

D metals such as sodium and magnesium are not transition metals

108
Q

109
Q

What are groups and periods in the periodic table?

Oxygen

111
Q

Which is the most common element in the atmosphere?
