16
Q

Combustion is …

A

The term used to describe the burning of a fuel in the presence of oxygen

17
Q

When a fuel is burned, what does it react with in the air?

A

Oxygen

18
Q

What is the % of oxygen we breathe in?

A

21%

19
Q

What is the test for oxygen?

A

Relights a glowing splint

20
Q

What happens when carbon reacts with oxygen in the air?

A

It forms carbon dioxide

Carbon(s) + oxygen(g) —> carbon dioxide(g)

21
Q

What is the test for carbon dioxide?

A

Turns limewater milky

22
Q

What is the difference between incomplete and complete combustion?

A

The products of complete combustion are carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion occurs when insufficient oxygen is present.

23
Q

Describe carbon monoxide gas.

A

Carbon monoxide gas is a colourless, ouderless toxic gas

24
Q

What is the Word equation for the combustion of hydrogen?

A

Hydrogen reacts with oxygen in the air to form water

Hydrogen(g) + oxygen(g) —> water(l)

25
Q

What is the test for hydrogen?

A

Hydrogen gas burns with a squeaky pop

26
Q

Why is hydrogen described as the fuel of the future?

A

Using renewable energy, water molecules can be split electrolysis to produce hydrogen and oxygen.

The hydrogen reacts with oxygen to release energy (exothermic reaction)

The only product of combustion is water.

27
Q

What are the fossil fuels?

A

Coal, oil and natural gas

28
Q

How was coal formed?

A

Millions of years ago giant plants died. Over the next million of years these plants were buried under water and dirt. HEAT and PRESSURE turned these dead plants into COAL.

29
Q

How were oil and natural gas formed?

A

Plankton died and were buried in the ocean floor and over time they were covered by layers of silt and sand. Over millions of years the remains turned to oil and gas due to enormous HEAT and PRESSURE. Today we drill though the layers of silt, sand and rock to reach rock formations containing oil and gas.

30
Q

What happens to fossil fuels in the air?

A

They undergo combustion with oxygen

31
Q

What are the products of combustion?

A

Carbon dioxide and water.

32
Q

What are hydrocarbons?

A

Molecules that only consist of carbon and hydrogen
