Science~carbon dioxide Flashcards
How do you prepare carbon dioxide in the laboratory?
Dilute hydrochloric acid is dropped onto the calcium carbonate (marble chips) ➡️ fizzing ➡️ dense carbon dioxide pushes/displaces the air out of the jar.
Chemical formula for hydrochloric acid?
HCl
Whats the chemical name for marble?
Calcium carbonate
The word equation for the reaction of preparation of CO2 is :
Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid (dilute) ↪️ calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
Does CO2 support combustion?
No
CO2 is a ____, ______ ,______ gas
Colourless,odourless, tasteless
What is the characteristic test for the presence of carbon dioxide
It turns limewater milky. It turns milky cuz chalk is formed
What is the chalk formed called?
Calcium carbonate
Word equation to test for carbon dioxide
Limewater (calcium hydroxide) + carbon dioxide ➡️ chalk+water
Carbon dioxide is _____ than air
Denser
What solution is formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water
An acidic solution ( carbonic acid)
3 things carbon dioxides used for
- fire extinguishers
- fizzy drinks
- fridge
How is carbon dioxide produced? (More expensive way)
When carbon is burned in oxygen gas
