what is rate of reaction - Answer how fast the reactants are changed into products example of slow reaction - Answer rusting of metal example of fast reaction - Answer explosion how does temp affect rate of reaction - Answer the higher the temp the faster the reaction how does concentration (or pressure of gases) affect rate of reaction - Answer the more the concentration the faster the reaction how does surface area affect the rate of reaction - Answer the larger the ...

Lithium(flame) - Answer Crimson Sodium(flame) - Answer Yellow Potassium(flame) - Answer Lilac Calcium(flame) - Answer orange/red Lithium(flame) - Answer Crimson copper(flame) - Answer green Magnesium(flame) - Answer No colour/white copper - Answer blue precipitate when sodium hydroxide added Iron(II) - Answer green precipitate when sodium hydroxide added Iron(III) - Answer brick red precipitate when sodium hydroxide added calcium - Answer white...

Mixture - Answer made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined 3 properties of compounds - Answer -fixed composition, the same ratio of each element -only chemical reactions can separate elements -chemical bonds between atoms 3 properties of mixtures - Answer -no fixed composition, the amount of the different substances can change -can be separated easily, using the properties of the different substances -no chemical bonds between atoms/compound in mixtur...

Air - Answer A mixture of gases. 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 0.04% carbon dioxide and other gases. Global Warming - Answer The rise in mean surface temperatures on the earth, thought to be due to increasing amounts of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide Greenhouse gas - Answer A gas in the atmosphere that contributes to the greenhouse effect , such as carbon dioxide Photosynthesis - Answer The process where green plants made glucose, by taking in carbon dioxide and producing o...

How metals can be placed in order of reactivity - Answer By their reactions with water and dilute acid When metals react with water or dilute acids - Answer Hydrogen gas is given off. The gas 'pops' with a lighted spill. OIL RIG - Answer oxidation is loss (of electrons), reduction is gain (of electrons) A more reactive metal - Answer Will displace a less reactive metal from its aqueous solution The non-metals hydrogen and carbon - Answer can be given positions in the reac...

What is electrolysis? - Answer The breaking down of a substance using electricity Types of electrolysis - Answer Of aqueous ionic compounds Of molten ionic compounds Ionic compound - Answer a compound composed of positive(cations) and negative ions(anions) Why can't ionic compounds conduct electricity as solid? - Answer The electrons aren't free to move and carry the charge through the structure What is an electrolyte? - Answer a liquid/solution that conducts electricit...

What is an exothermic reaction? - Answer A reaction that causes a rise in temperature to surroundings- it releases energy What is an endothermic reaction? - Answer A reaction that causes a decrease in temperature in the surroundings-it takes in energy If a reversible reaction if exothermic in one direction what will it be in the reverse direction? - Answer Endothermic What must happen for bonds to be broken in a chemical reaction? - Answer Reacting particles must collide with su...
