25
What is an ore
A rock containing enough metal to make it worthwhile extracting
26
What ore is iron extracted from
Haematite
27
How is aluminum obtained
Through the ore bauxite
28
What are the minerals present in rocks
Natural compounds
29
How many compound types are there that make up a rock forming material
7
30
What is a mineral
A crystalline solid which has formed naturally by geological processes
31
How do you extract gold
From the earths crust
32
How do you extract magnesium
Through electrolysis
33
How do you extract tin
By heating it with carbon
34
How is copper obtained
By heating with carbon
35
Why are some metals extracted in different ways
Depending on their position in the reactivity series
36
What is the ore haematite a form of
Iron oxide
37
What is the furnace used to make Iron called
A blast furnace
38
Why did the blast furnace get called that
Because it has small holes near the bottom which blasts out hot air
39
What is the mixture added to a blast furnace
Limestone, coke and iron
40
Why is limestone added to the blast furnace
To remove impurities like dirt and sand
41
What do the impurities that the limestone removes in the blast furnace end up as
Slag
42
Why is coke added to a blast furnace
In order for Iron to be extracted from its ore
43
What gasses are used during the blast furnace process
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide
44
What are the materials which leave the blast furnace
Molten slag and molten iron
45
What does pig iron mean
Iron that is produced directly from the blast furnace
46
What is the main use of iron
Construction and machinery
47
Describe the chemical process to get iron
1- Oxygen in the air reacts with the carbon to make carbon monoxide 2- The carbon dioxide reacts with carbon to make carbon monoxide 3- The carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide reduces to give carbon dioxide and Iron
48
What is electrolysis
The use of electricity to break down a component into its elements
49
Chopper chlorine reacts to give …
Cooper and chlorine
50
When using electrolysis to break down copper chlorine what was the gas released at the positive electrode
Chlorine
51
When using electrolysis to break down copper chlorine what was the metal released at the Negetive electrode
Copper
52
The test for carbon
Turns limewater cloudy
53
Test for hydrogen
Burns with a squeaky pop
54
Test for oxygen
Relights a glowing splint
55
Test for limewater
1- roast chalk 2- add water 3- filter solution 4- add carbon dioxide to solution 5- if solution turns cloudy then you have successfully tested for limewater
56
What are dyes
Colored compounds
57
What do most duets require
The use of a compound called a “fix” to make the dye and color permanent
58
What are dyes made up of
Natural substances such as plants
59
What is an essential oil
A concentrated liquid
60
Where is the fragrance from essential oils obtained from
Plants
61
What is the technique used to extract the compounds in essential oils
Steam distillation
62
How can essential oils be used
As lotions, lip balms, aromatherapy and muscle pain
63
What input variables can you change
- concentration - temperature - particle size
64
What is the change in the output if you change the input variables
The speed of the reaction
65
What does native copper mean?
Copper that appears naturally in its pure form
