Q

What are the uses, as well as advantages and disadvantages of Hydrogen?

A

It can be used as a fuel, in the food industry for making margarine, as well as in the petrochemicals industry for making certain types of hydrocarbon.

It has a high energy yield, and is non polluting.

However, it’s highly flammable, needs to be stored in a pressurised tank, there are few filling stations for it (as a fuel for vehicles)

Q

explain the the method in which we extract aluminium

A

Aluminium oxide (bauxite) is dissolved in molten cryolite, an aluminium compound with a lower melting point than aluminium oxide.
Both the negative electrode (cathode) and positive electrode (anode) are made of graphite, a form of carbon.
Aluminium metal forms at the negative electrode and sinks to the bottom of the tank, where it is tapped off.
Oxygen forms at the positive electrodes. This oxygen reacts with the carbon of the positive electrodes, forming carbon dioxide, and they gradually burn away. Consequently, the positive electrodes have to be replaced frequently, which adds to the cost of the process.

34
Q

What evidence is based on Wegener’s theory?

A
  • The Earths continents can be roughly fitted together like a jigsaw
  • The are few similarities in rock formations on either side of the Atlantic
  • similar fossils were found in lands separated by wide oceans
  • fossils were found of species that seemed to be in the wrong place (e.g, tropical species in Norway) suggesting continents had moved through regions with different climates
35
Q

What is the theory for Plate tectonics?

A
  • The Earth’s surface is made up of a series of large plates. which are in constant motion
  • The movement of the plates is very slow
  • The ocean floors are continually moving, spreading from some plate boundaries, and sinking at others
  • The movement is caused by convection currents from deep in the Earth
36
Q

What is Subduction?

A

Where one plate moves under the other, magma is released and volcanoes can occur

37
Q

How do mountain ranges form?

A

When plates collide, their edges crumple, this forms mountain ranges

38
Q

How can a volcanic eruption occur?

A

when under pressure, plates that move apart, magma is released, causing a volcanic eruption

39
Q

What is the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere?

A

Nitrogen - 78%
Oxygen - 21%
Argon - 1%
others - 1%

40
Q

What was Earth’s first atmosphere composition and give an explanation?

A
  • Hydrogen and helium

- Given off as the Earth formed. Both gases are light and would have drifted off into space

41
Q

What was Earth’s second atmosphere composition and give an explanation?

A
  • Carbon dioxide, ammonia, and water vapour
  • Produced as a result of the volcanic activity of the young Earth, which was still cooling down. the water vapour condensed to form oceans
42
Q

What is Earth’s third and current atmosphere composition and give an explanation?

A
  • nitrogen, oxygen, argon, others
  • much of the carbon dioxide in atmosphere 2 would have dissolved in the oceans. Bacteria in the oceans evolved that could use the carbon dioxide and produce oxygen (photosynthesis). the ammonia was converted by sunlight into nitrogen and hydrogen, but the hydrogen drifted into space.
43
Q

state and explain the three processes involved in balancing the Earth’s atmosphere.

A
  • Photosynthesis, carried out by green plants. it uses up Carbon dioxide and produces oxygen.
  • Respiration, carried out by all living things. it uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide
  • combustion, burning shit, mainly of fossil fuels, it uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide
44
Q

Disadvantages of global warming?

A
  • Rising temperatures could cause polar ice caps to melt, flooding low level land around the world
  • weather patterns will be disrupted, this could destroy habitats furthermore affecting animals and ecosystems
45
Q

What are the effects of acid rain?

A
  • coniferous trees are particularly at threat to acid rain, and can be killed by acid rain
  • the acid rain can drain into lakes and rivers, lowering pH and also releasing aluminium from the soil. both of these effects kill fish
  • limestone reacts with acid, so acid rain severealy damages limestone buildings and statues
  • effects aqua life
46
Q

What does this “Fe(II)” tell us about the iron?

A

it tells us that the iron is behaving as if it is in group 2

47
Q

What does this “Fe(III)” tell us about the iron?

A

it tells us that the iron is behaving as if it is in group 3

48
Q

When working out chemical formulae, what are Mr Davis’ three rules?

A
  • Bare Bones
  • Spell Check
  • Balance it!
49
Q

What does Lattice mean?

A

Lattice is another word for “framework”

50
Q

What is a characteristic of ionic compounds?

62
Q

What is a semi conductor?

A

a semi conductor is on the border between metals and non metals, sometimes referred to as a metalloid

63
Q

How do we extract iron?

A

iron oxide is reduced to iron at high temperatures (in a blast furnace) by the oxidation of carbon (from coke) while carbon (and carbon monoxide) are oxidised to carbon dioxide.

64
Q

reactions between hydrochloric acid and metal?

A

forms salts called chlorides,

e.g: metal + hydrochloric acid —–> metal chloride + hydrogen

65
Q

reactions between metal and sulphuric acid?

A

forms sulphates

e.g: magnesium + sulphuric acid —–> magnesium sulphate + hydrogen

66
Q

reactions with metal and nitric acid?

A

forms nitrates

e.g: magnesium + nitric acid ——> magnesium nitrate + hydrogen

67
Q

What is Carbon capture?

A

carbon capture can reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from power stations by around 90%, it is a three stage process

  • capturing the CO(2) from power plants and other industrial sources
  • transporting it to storage points
  • storing it safely in geological sites, such as depleted oil and gas fields
68
Q

What is Post Combustion?

A

This involves capturing the Carbon dioxide from the gases given off by burning. a chemical solvent is used to separate Carbon dioxide from the waste gases.

69
Q

Potassium and Oxygen gives us potassium oxide, formula?

A

K + O ——> K O
K + O(2) ——> KO(2)
4K + O(2) ——> 2K(2)O

70
Q

formula for alkenes?

A

H is double C,
e.g: C(2)H(4)
C(3)H(6)
C(5)H(10)

71
Q

Regarding electrolysis and the blast furnace, what two metals sorround Carbon?

A 
top = aluminium
bottom = zinc
