Q

How can corrosion be prevented ?

A

It’s applying a coating that acts as a barrier, such as greasing, galvanising, painting or electroplating.

Q

What is used to provide a sacrificial protection ?

A

A more reactive metal eg. zinc is used to galvanise iron

17
Q

What type of metals are found in the earth as the metal itself ?

A

Unreactive metals like gold

18
Q

What do you need to do to most metals ?

A

require chemical reactions to extract the metals

19
Q

How can metals less reactive than carbon be extracted ?

A

reduction with carbon

20
Q

Are the earths metal ores limited or not ?

A

They are limited

21
Q

What are new ways of extracting copper from low grade ores ?

A

Phytomining and bio leaching

22
Q

How does phytoming work ?

A

The plants are harvested and then burned to produce ash that contains metal compounds.

23
Q

Explain sacrificial protection in terms of relative reactivity

A

You would coat a less reactive metal with a more reactive metal to protect the metal underneath

24
Q

What is bioleaching ?

A

It uses bacteria to produce leachate solutions that contain metal compounds

25
Q

What is an independent variable ?

A

It is the one that is changed or selected by the investigator

26
Q

What is a dependent variable ?

A

It is measured for each change in the independent variable

27
Q

What are control variables?

A

They are kept the same

28
Q

Why are control variables kept the same?

A

To make the test fair

29
Q

How do you find a mean average?

A

You add all the numbers together, and then, divide by how many numbers there are

30
Q

What is an accurate measurement?

A

It’s one that is close to the true value

31
Q

What are precise measurements?

A

This is if they cluster closely

32
Q

What are repeatable measurements?

A

When repeated under the same conditions, the same investigator gives similar results

33
Q

What are reproducible measurements ?

A

Its similar results obtained by different investigators with different equipment

34
Q

What is systematic error?

A

It’s due to measurements results different from the true value by consistent amount each time

35
Q

What would you do with anomalous results ?

A

They should be ignored

36
Q

Why are measurements affected by random error?

A

Because due to the results, bearing in unpredictable ways, these areas can be reduced by making more measurements and reporting a mean value
