Reactions Part 1 Flashcards
Which percentage of air is oxygen gas?
21%
Name three uses of oxygen gas.
Welding torches
Rocket fuel
Breathing apparatus
Give the general word for combustion.
fuel + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + energy
Give the word equation for respiration
glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + energy
Give the word equation for rusting
iron + oxygen + water –> hydrated iron oxide
Which chemicals are required to prepare oxygen gas?
Hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide
Give the word equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to form oxygen gas.
manganese dioxide
hydrogen peroxide ⇒ oxygen + water
Label the apparatus A-F for the preparation of oxygen gas.

A - Side arm test tube B - Delivery tube C- Oxygen gas D - Trough E - Hydrogen peroxide + manganese dioxide F -Clamp
What is a catalyst?
A chemical which speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up itself.
What is the name of the catalyst used in the preparation of oxygen gas?
Manganese dioxide
Name another catalyst
Enzymes
Give three uses of carbon dioxide gas
Fire extinguishersDry IceFizzy Drinks
Give the general word equation for the production of carbon dioxide gas.
metal carbonate + acid ⇒ salt + water + carbon dioxide
Give a word equation for the chemicals used to make carbon dioxide gas
calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid ⇒ calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
Label the apparatus A-E for the preparation of carbon dioxide gas.

A - side arm test tube B - bung C - downward delivery tube D - limewater E - marble chips (calcium carbonate ) + acid
What is the test for carbon dioxide gas?
Bubble through limewater, it turns cloudy.
Give three uses of hydrogen gas

Label the apparatus A - F for the preparation of hydrogen gas

A - retort stand B - bung C - clamp D - test tube E - upward delivery tube F - side arm test tube
Give the general word equation for the preparation of hydrogen gas.
Metal + Acid ⇒Salt + Hydrogen
Give the word equation for the chemicals used to make hydrogen gas.
magnesium + hydrochloric acid ⇒ magnesium chloride + hydrogen
What is the test for hydrogen gas?
Lighted splint, squeaky pop!
