Q

What is a precipitation reaction?

A

When an insoluble compound is formed when two clear solutions are mixed

17
Q

What is a precipitate?

A

The solid formed in a precipitation reaction

18
Q

What are spectator ions?

A

Ions which are not used to form the precipitate and will start aqueous and remain aqueous

19
Q

What is an ionic equation?

A

A chemical equation which does not include spectator ions

20
Q

What does SNAAP stand for?

A

Sodium
Nitrate
Ammoniam
Acetate
Potassium

21
Q

What is the equation for acid and base reactions?

A

Acid + Base –> Salt + Water

22
Q

What is the equation for acid and carbonate reactions?

A

Acid + Metal Carbonate –> Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water

23
Q

What is the equation for acid and metal reastions?

A

Acid + Metal –> Salt + Hydrogen Gas

24
Q

What food did indigenous people detoxifying using chemical reactions?

A

Cycad fruit

25
Q

What were the two ways cycads were detoxified?

A

Leaching - soaking poisons out
Fermentation - leaving the fruit in a moist environment for months

26
Q

What happens when metal reacts with oxygen?

A

An electron is transferred from metal atoms to oxygen atoms

27
Q

What is the formula for the reaction between oxygen and metal?

A

metal + oxygen –> metal oxide

28
Q

What happens when metal reacts with water?

A

Some metals displace hydrogen and hydroxide or metal oxide

29
Q

When is metal oxide formed when water reacts with metal?

A

When the metal has a low reactivity such as aluminium zinc or iron and only reacts with steam

30
Q

When will a reaction between metals and other metallic ions occur?

A

When the solid metal is more reactive than the metal ions in the solution

31
Q

Methane

A

CH4

32
Q

Ethanol

A

C2H5OH
