what is combustion?

A

when a fuel reacts with oxygen to release useful energy. (Process of burning something)

19
Q

what are the uses of hydrogen?

A

making margarine, clean fuel, rocket fuel.

20
Q

what is the word equation for preparing hydrogen?

A

magnesium + hydrochloride acid —> magnesium chloride + hydrogen

21
Q

what chemicals are required for the preparation of hydrogen?

A

magnesium, hydrochloric acid.
(Can be prepared by acid with a metal)

22
Q

What is the test for hydrogen?

A

lighted splint will make a squeaky pop you can hear.

23
Q

What are the uses of carbon dioxide?

A

fizzy drinks, fire extinguisher, dry ice.

24
Q

What is the word equation for preparing carbon dioxide?

A

calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid —> calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide.

25
Q

what chemicals are required for the preparation of carbon dioxide?

A

Hydrochloric acid, marble chips (calcium carbonate)
Can be prepared easily by reacting a metal carbonate with an acid.

26
Q

What is the test for carbon dioxide?

A

Bubble gas into limewater. Positive result turns limewater from colourless to milky white/cloudy.

27
Q

What happens if too much carbon dioxide is bubbled into limewater?

A

If lots added solution becomes clear again as soluble calcium hydrogen carbonate forms.

28
Q

What happens when calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid?

A

Fizzing of gas and solid disappears.
