Q

What was observed in the Miller Urey experiment?

A

After a week, amino acids which are the building blocks for protein were found

Complex chemicals are needed for living things to develop could be produced naturally

Q

The process of the Miller Urey experiment

A

Mixture of water, ammonia, methane and nitrogen heated to produce water vapour, an electrical spark was passed through to create lightening.

A week later, amino acids were formed which are the building blocks for protein.

17
Q

How do you crack hydrocarbons?

A

Hydrocarbons can be cracked to produce smaller molecules, you heat them up to produce vapour which is then passed over a catalyst or mixed with steam

18
Q

Properties of small hydrocarbons

A

Less volatile

19
Q

Where are viscous hydrocarbons likely to be found in a fractioning column?

A

Near the bottom

20
Q

Why aren’t longer chain hydrocarbons useful?

A

Do not ignite easily

21
Q

3 uses of polymers

A

Water proof coatings

Smart materials

New packaging materials

22
Q

Issue with polymers

A

Not biodegradable so they landfill sites are increased and can release methane

23
Q

Two ways you can make ethanol

A

Mixing ethene with steam

By fermentation

24
Q

Atom A has a full outer shell so it is

A

Unreactive

25
What is seen when sugar solution and yeast are fermented?
Foamy bubbles of Co2
26
What do Iceland have volcanoes?
It is on a plate boundary
27
Why don't scientists know when a volcano will erupt?
It is difficult to monitor what happens beneath the crust
28
How does activity in the earth result in plate movement?
Radioactive processes cause the plates to move suddenly as they move past each other
29
Conditions needed for hardening
Nickel catalyst at 60 degrees
30
Compounds formed from only non metals consist of particles called
Molecules
31
How to improve the method so results are more accurate
Repeat 3 times and find the mean
32
One property of a smart polymer that is different to an ordinary polymer
Smart memory
33
Two alloys
Zinc and copper form brass Steel and chromium form stainless steel
