Question
Answer
Write a word equation to show the combustion of Pentane (a chemical found in crude oil)   show
🗑
show C5H12 + 8 O2 --> 5 CO2 + 6 H2O (always start by writing the word equation! Then formulae! Then balance)  
🗑
show Carbon Dioxide and Methane  
🗑
Describe how the Greenhouse effect warms the Earth   show
🗑
CHALLENGE: what happens to greenhouse gases when they absorb infrared radiation?   show
🗑
Why are scientists worried that the levels of Carbon Dioxide are increasing?   show
🗑
What is the evidence that increased levels of CO2 cause the Greenhouse effect?   show
🗑
What is the evidence that increased levels of CO2 does NOT cause the Greenhouse effect?   show
🗑
show 1)rising sea levels; 2)extreme weather pattern 3)changes to climate (amount and timing of rainfall) that may lead to species being wiped out  
🗑
show The amount of Carbon Dioxide and other Greenhouse gases produced by an activity  
🗑
show When Carbon Dioxide is trapped, then pumped deep underground in porous rocks, or deep under the ocean  
🗑
Describe a few measures that the Government can take to reduce the levels of CO2   show
🗑
show Fuels made from plants; when the next crop of plants grows, it absorbs the CO2 emitted by the combustion of the first crop  
🗑
Describe a few things that You could do to reduce your carbon footprint   show
🗑
show When the products of combustion are carbon dioxide and water only  
🗑
What is incomplete combustion?   show
🗑
show Carbon Monoxide binds stronger to the Haemoglobin in the red blood cells; and prevents Oxygen from binding; as Oxygen is not transported anymore, cells are unable to produce energy and die.  
🗑
Why does incomplete combustion take place?   show
🗑
show When Sulfur IMPURITIES in the fossil fuels burn in Oxygen  
🗑
show Sulfur Dioxide reacts with water to form Sulfuric Acid  
🗑
What is the consequence of acid rain   show
🗑
show neutralise the sulphur dioxide in factories chimneys by reacting the sulphur dioxide with calcium oxide; also by removing sulphur from fossil fuels  
🗑
How do cars produce Nitrogen Oxides?   show
🗑
Is this equation balanced? CH4 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O   show
🗑
show CH4 + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O  
🗑
What is the formula of Methane?   show
🗑
What is complete combustion?   show
🗑
show Carbon Dioxide and Water  
🗑
show Soot, Carbon Monoxide and Water  
🗑
What is the Hazard of Carbon Monoxide?   show
🗑
show CO  
🗑
show CO2  
🗑
show Sulfur  
🗑
show Acid Rain  
🗑
show Greenhouse effect  
🗑
show Sulphur Dioxide  
🗑
What gas is causing the Greenhouse effect?   show
🗑
show Volcanic eruption  
🗑
Name a human activity that produces Carbon Dioxide   show
🗑
Why is there more Carbon Dioxide in Winter than in summer?   show
🗑
What is the evidence that humans are responsible for causing the Greenhouse effect?   show
🗑
show Levels of CO2 have risen up and down for millions of year.  
🗑
Name 2 things that chemists are trying to do to remove CO2 from the atmosphere   show
🗑
