True or False: Elements contain only one type of atom? | True. Elements are made of only one type of atom |
True or False: Compounds contain only one type of atom. | False. Compounds are made of more than one type of atom, in a fixed ratio. EG H20 is a compound which contains twice as much hydrogen as oxygen |
True or False: The production of a gas is a sign of a chemical reaction. | True. The production of a gas does show a chemical reaction has occured |
Name 2 signs of a chemical reaction | The signs of a chemical reaction are:* change in mass* change in temperature* production of a gas* formation of a precipitate* permanent change in colour* production of light |
What is a precipitate? | A precipitate is a solid formed when 2 liquids are mixed. It is a sign that a chemical reaction has occurred. |
What is an element's atomic number? | An atom's atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. |
What is an element's mass number? | The mass number is the number of protons + neutrons in an atom's nucleus. |
In a neutral atom (one with no charge), how many electrons are there compared with the number of protons? | In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is EQUAL to the number of protons. |
A chemical that increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction is called? | A catalyst |
True or False: Increasing temperature decreases the speed of a chemical reaction | False. Higher temperature increases reaction speed |
True or False: Decreasing the size of particles decreases the speed of a chemical reaction. | False. Smaller particles react faster. |
Does stirring increase the speed of a chemical reaction? | Yes, stirring increases the rate of a chemical reaction. |
What is concentration? | It is a measure of how many particles are present in a given amount of liquid. |
What effect does increasing the concentration of reactants have on reaction rate? | Increasing concentration increases the rate of a reaction. |
What is the pH of an acid? | Between 0 and 7 |
What is the pH of a neutral solution like water? | 7 |
What is the pH of a base? | Between 7 and 14 |
Are acids sour? | Acids are sour. |
What should you wear when using acids and bases? | Safety glasses, lab coats, gloves |
What happens when you add an acid to a base? | They neutralise each other, giving a salt and water. |
What does acid do to plants? | Acids kill plants! |
Are soaps acids or bases? | Soaps are bases. |
Is vinegar acidic or basic? | Vinegar is acidic. |
Is Draino acidic or basic? | Draino is basic. |
Are soft drinks acidic or basic? | Soft drinks are acidic. |
