17
Q

2 observations when calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid

A

Fizzing/bubbles of gas
Calcium carbonate disappears

18
Q

List 3 uses of oxygen

A

Welding torches.
Rocket fuel.
Breathing apparatus in hospitals.

19
Q

Name the 2 products of the reaction when candle wax combusts

A

Carbon dioxide and water

20
Q

What does exothermic mean?

A

A reaction that gives out heat
(Temp drops)

21
Q

Why does endothermic mean

A

A reaction that takes in heat

22
Q

What happens when zinc is added to copper?

A

The blue copper sulphate solution turns to a colourless liquid .
The zinc powder turns to brown sludge.
This is exothermic as the temp increases during the reaction

23
Q

What are 3 pieces of evidence to tell us that a chemical reaction is taking place?
When zinc is added to copper

A

Rise in temperature.
Powder disappears.
Liquid changes from blue to colourless

24
Q

What is oxidation

A

An oxidation reaction occurs when a chemical reacts with oxygen. (The adding of oxygen)

25
Q

What is reduction

A

The opposite of oxidation and occurs when a substance loses oxygen. (Removal of oxygen)

26
Q

What is a redox reaction?

A

A reaction where REDuction and OXidation takes place together. (Oxidation and reduction both taking place)

27
Q

Decide what part has been oxidised and reduction

Calcium+magnesium oxide— calcium oxide+ magnesium

A

Magnesium oxide was reduced to magnesium.
Calcium was oxidised to calcium oxide

28
Q

Decide what part has been oxidised and reduction

Zinc oxide+ hydrogen— zinc + water

A

Zinc oxide was reduced to zinc.
Hydrogen was oxidised to water.

29
Q

Decide what part has been oxidised and reduction

Aluminium oxide + potassium— aluminium + potassium oxide

A

Aluminium oxide was reduced to aluminium.
Potassium was oxidised to potassium oxide.

30
Q

Decide what part has been oxidised and reduction

Aluminium + iron oxide— iron+ aluminium oxide

A

Iron oxide was reduced to iron.
Aluminium was oxidised to aluminium oxide.

31
Q

Decide what part has been oxidised and reduction

Copper oxide+ carbon— copper + carbon dioxide

A

Copper oxide reduced to copper.
Carbon oxidised to carbon dioxide.

32
Q

Tell me about a thermite reaction.

A

In the Thermite reaction, the two reactants are iron oxide and Aluminium. The Thermite reaction is a very exothermic reaction as it gives out lots of heat. The reactant iron oxide is reduced to molten iron. This reaction was used to weld train tracks together.
