Topic 3 #1 Reactons Flashcards
Reactions of oxygen
Respiration
Rusting
Combustion
Uses of oxygen
Welding torches
Rocket fuel
Breathing apparatus in hospitals
Is oxygen lighter or heavier than air and is it soluble
Oxygen is the same density as air and not soluble in water
Equation for respiration
Sugar + oxygen —> carbon dioxide + water (energy)
Chemical test for water
Use anhydrous copper sulfate which changes from white to blue in presence of water
Equation for finding oxygen
Magnesium dioxide
Hydrogen peroxide <——————————->water + oxygen
Chemicals required for preparing oxygen
Hydrogen peroxide
Catalyst magnesium dioxide
Test for oxygen
Relights a glowing splint if done correctly
Catalyst
A chemical that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up its self
Exothermic reactions
A reaction that gives out heat
Endothermic reactions
A reaction that takes in heat
Examples of catalysts
Magnesium dioxide (making oxygen)
Enzymes (making ammonia)
