Question
Answer
how is cement made?   powdered limestone is heated in a kiln with powdered clay  
🗑
what is limewater used for?   as a test for carbon dioxide and it turns limewater cloudy as a result  
🗑
element   a substance only contains one type of atom  
🗑
law of conservation   no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction so the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactions.  
🗑
how is mortar made?   cement + sand + water  
🗑
how is concrete made?   cement+ sand + aggregate  
🗑
benefits of quarrying limestone   jobs for locals useful material cheap material  
🗑
drawbacks of quarrying limestone   destoys habitat visual pollution creates noise heavy traffic  
🗑
sulfur dioxide   causes acid rain. mixes with clouds. forms dilute sulfuric acid. falls as acid rain-> causes lakes to become acidic= plants die, damages limestone buildings and statues.  
🗑
properties of titanium   low density metal. very strong. corrosion resistant  
🗑
limestone cycle- eqations   CaCO3->CaO+CO2->Ca(OH)2  
🗑
limestone cycle- word equations   calcium carbonate-> Carbon oxide-> solid calcium hydroxide -> calcium hydroxide solution  
🗑
more volatile?   turn into a gas at a lower temperature  
🗑
Biodiesel: Pros   Carbon neutral. engines arent converted. produces less sulfur dioxide than ordinary diesel/petrol  
🗑
Biodiesel: Con   can't make enough to completely replace petrol. expensive.  
🗑
alernative fuels   ethanol. biodiesel hydrogen gas  
🗑
first four alkAnes   methane CH4 Ethane C2H6 propane C3H8 Butane C4H10  
🗑
Ethanol?   Produced from plant material=biofuel. Made by fermentation of plants- carsoften mixed w/petrol=better fuel.  
🗑
Alkanes   are hydrocarbons that are saturated  
🗑
ore?   metal that contains metal worth extracting  
🗑
bioleaching   use of bacteria to extract metals from the ground  
🗑
ductile?   able to be drawn into thin wires  
🗑
delocalised   where electrons are free to move within structure, allows a charge to be carried  
🗑
insoluble   will not dissolve in water  
🗑
soluble   substance being dissolved  
🗑
decompose   break down into simpler compounds or elements  
🗑
Cracking?   Making a large hydrocarbon smaller (using heat and a catalyst.  
🗑
CATALYST   speeds up reaction, lowers activation energy, usually a transition metal  
🗑
