Q

What is the difference between a physical and a chemical reaction?

A

In a physical reaction there is no chemical change, however in a chemical change, intramolecular bonds are broken, rearranging atoms and molecules that form a new substance.

Q

What type of chemical reaction is this an example of:
potassium bromide + silver nitrate → potassium nitrate + silver bromide.

A

double displacement

16
Q

When Indigenous people are detoxifying foods what is the purpose of physical processes (include examples).

A

processes such as grating, grinding and pounding break the cell walls of food sources, allowing the toxins to be released.

17
Q

Name the different processes for detoxifying foods.

A

physical processes, solution, heating, drying, fermentation, absorption & changing the pH

18
Q

Give an example of a food aboriginal people must detoxify.

A

cycad palm macrozamia, bush tomato, black bean

19
Q

Going from left to right on the periodic table, the reactivity of metals increases. True or false.

A

false

20
Q

Why are Caesium & Francium the most reactive metals?

A

They have the largest atomic nuclei, are least electronegative and lose their valance electrons the easiest.

21
Q

What are the most reactive non-metals?

A

Fluorine & Chlorine

22
Q

What are the three types of reactions that aid in determining the relative reactivity of metals?

A

Metal + water reactions
Metal + dilute acids
Combustion (reactions with oxygen).

23
Q

What is a redox reaction?

A

A reaction that involves the transfer of electrons.

24
Q

When a species in a reaction loses electrons, it is reduced or oxidised?

A

oxidised

25
Q

Are metals or non-metals more likely to be reduced?

A

non-metals.

26
Q

What is the oxidation state/number?

A

It is the number assigned to an element that represents the electrons lost (if number positive) or electrons gained (if number negative)

27
Q

True or false, a more reactive metal will displace a less reaction metal from solution.

A

True

28
Q

Oxidation occurs at the…

A

anode

29
Q

Reduction occurs at the…

A

cathode

30
Q

What do the two beakers of a galvanic cell represent?

A

The two half equations in a metal displacement reaction. Each half solution contains an electrode in an electrolytic solution.

31
Q

True or false, a galvanic cell does not allow a spontaneous reaction.

A

false

32
Q

What is the salt bridge in a galvanic cell used for?

A

It provides electrical contact between the solutions to avoid build up of charges. (maintain electrical neutrality).

33
Q

What direction does the electrons flow?

A

From the anode (through the wire/conductor of an external circuit) to the cathode.

34
Q

What is the oxidation state/ number of:
Oxygen

A

-2

35
Q

What is the oxidation state/ number of:
Halogens

A

-1

36
Q

What is the oxidation state/ number of:
a whole molecule

A

0

37
Q

What is the oxidation state/ number of:
hydrogen

A

+1

38
Q

What is the oxidation state/ number of:
Polyatomic ions

A

their valancy
