some non metals and their compounds Flashcards
how is carbon dioxide removed in the carbon cycle
photosynthesis - 6Co+6H20 –> 6O2 + C6H12O6
dissolving- carbon dioxide from air dissolving in the ocean
how is carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere
respiration - glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + energy
combustion - methane + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + energy
how is fossil fuels made
remains of dead organism fall to the ocean floor and are buried
soft part turns into petroleum and natural gas
hard shells turn into limestone rock
trees get buries in swamps to make coal carbon dioxide in ait ends up in f`ossil fuels
what are the 3 ways carbon dioxide occurs naturally by
- combustion of carbon compound in plenty of air - CH4 + 2O2 –> CO2 + 2H20
- reaction with dilute acid and carbonates - CaCO3 + 2HCL –> CaCl2 + CO2+ H20
- reaction between oxygen and glucose - C6H12O6 + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O
what are the properties of carbon dioxide
colourless gas with no smell
heavier than air
things will not burn in it
slightly soluble in water forming carbonic acid, H2CO3
how is carbon monoxide formed
when carbon compounds burn in too little oxygen
2CH4 + 3O2 –> 2CO + 4H2O
what are the properties of carbon monoxide
no smell
why is carbon monoxide dangerous
binds with RBC preventing it from carrying oxygen ard the body
what is the formula of carbonate
CO3^-2
what are the properties of carbonates
insoluble in water except for sodium
react with acid to from sale, water and carbon dioxide
break down when heated to form co2 and oxide
where is calcium carbonate found naturally
limestone, chalk and marble
why do sodium carbonates not break down
compounds are more stable
how is methane formed/ found
natural gas/ gas deposit in ocean to be used as fuel
bacteria break down plant material in absence of oxygen
animals gives out methane as waste gas from digestion
name a organic compound
methane
where are organic compounds found
in protein, carbohydrate in body
compound in petroleum and coal
plastic and medical drugs
what is the study of carbon compounds called
organic chemistry
