Q

What is the key difference between water and hydrogen peroxide?

A

Water (H₂O) has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, while hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) has two of each, giving them different properties.

Q

Why is combustion important in human development?

A

It has been crucial for cooking, heating, and generating energy throughout history.

15
Q

Why does photosynthesis only occur in plants?

A

The chemical reaction requires chlorophyll (the chemical that makes leaves green).

16
Q

What is respiration?

A

The process of obtaining energy from food, and can be thought as the opposite of photosynthesis.

17
Q

What are some examples of chemical reactions in the atmosphere?

A

-Formation of holes in the ozone layer
-Smog from air pollution

18
Q

What is chemical weathering?

A

Chemical weathering is the gradual breaking down of rocks due to reactions with chemicals in rainwater, hail, sleet and snow.

19
Q

What does corrosive mean?

A

They can chemically dissolve many types of substances including some rocks and metals.

20
Q

Over time, what can chemical weathering do?

A

Change the face of the Earth.
