Q

Barrier method of preventing corrosion

A

Coating with paint or plastic
Oiling or greasing

Q

Sacrificial protection

A

Blocks of more reactive metal corrode in place of less reactive metal

Galvanising adds a coat of zinc to stop O2 and H2O reaching surface

If scratched, Zn corrodes and not Fe

Q

Higher carbon content means

A

Harder for layers to slide, so higher CC = less malleable = less easy to slide = more brittle

25
Q

Why is Chromium used in steel (iron alloys)

A

More reactive, adding sacrificial protection, reducing corrosion

26
Q

Aluminum - why unpainted?

A

Forms a layer of unreactive AlO on surface, 2-3nm thick that doesn’t flake away

27

A

Sand and boron trioxide
Higher melting point

38
Q

Glass structure

A

Giant covalent

39
Q

Melting point in polymers

A

A

HDPE
LDPE

41
Q

Thermosoftening polymer

A

Melts
No cross links

42
Q

Haber process

A

Methane = Natural gas

Methane + steam -> Hydrogen + Carbon monoxide

Hydrogen + oxygen = water [removes o2 from air to leave N]

Nitrogen + Hydrogen -> Ammonia
N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) -> 2NH3 (g)

43
Q

Conditions for haber
