Q

What is a physical change

A

A change in which no new substances are formed

18
Q

Give 3 qualities of a physical change

A
  • do not make new substances
  • are often easy to reverse
  • the substances may change state or just be mixed together
19
Q

Give 4 examples of a physical change

A

Melting
Boiling
Condensing
Freezing

20
Q

Give 3 qualities of a chemical reaction

A

-always make at least one new substance
-are usually difficult to reverse
-the new substances have different properties from the original substance
-

21
Q

Give 3 examples of a physical change

A

Combustion
Neutralisation
Thermal decomposition

22
Q

How is gas pressure caused

A

By the force of the particles hitting the walls of the container

23
Q

Why does increasing the temp. increase pressure

A

The particles move faster and they hit the walls of the container more often with more force

24
Q

Why does increasing the number of particles in the container increase pressure

A

The particles are closer together and hit the walls of the container more often

25
Why does decreasing the volume of the container increase pressure
The particles are closer together and hit the walls of the container more often
26
Most metals react with oxygen from the air to create what? What is the name of the reaction?
They create metal oxides, this is called an oxidation reaction
27
How does potassium react with oxygen, water and dilute acid?
Fire,fire, EXPLOSION
28
How does sodium react with oxygen, water and dilute acid?
Fire, reacts very quickly and explosion
29
How does lithium react with oxygen, water and dilute acid?
Fire, reacts quickly, reacts very quickly
30
How does calcium react with oxygen, water and dilute acid?
Fire, reacts quickly, reacts very quickly
31
How does magnesium react with oxygen, water and dilute acid?
Fire, reacts, reacts quickly
32
How does aluminium react with oxygen, water and dilute acid?
Reacts very quickly, slow or partial reaction
33
How does gold react with oxygen, water and dilute acid?
No reaction, no reaction, no reaction
34
Iron and steel need what to rust?
Air and water
35
What makes iron and steel rust quicker
Salt
36
How can rusting be prevented
- The physical barrier to stop the air and water being in contact with iron - sacrificial protection in which blocks of a more reactive metal such as zinc or magnesium are attach to the iron and they then corrode instead of the iron
37
What is a hydrocarbon?
These substances contain only hydrogen and carbon
38
What do hydrocarbons supply if burnt?
Carbon dioxide and water
39
How do you test for oxygen?
It relightes a glowing splint
40
What is a displacement reaction
In a displacement reaction a more reactive metal takes the place of a less reactive metal in a compound.
41
Here is an example of a displacement reaction: Aluminium +iron oxide----> iron+aluminium oxide Why does this happen?
Aluminium takes the place of iron as it is a more reactive metal and forms stronger bonds with oxygen
42
What is the opposite of oxidation?
Reduction- the loss of oxygen
