ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ meet the needs of people today without impacting on the needs of people in
the future.
Answer: sustainable development should...
◍ global warming trend.
Answer: general increase in global average temperature follows a similar
trend to carbon dioxide percentage in the atmosphere
◍ G A S E S.
Answer: there are almost no forces of attraction between the particles. the
particles have more energy than in liquids and solids - they're free to move,
and travel in random directions at high speeds. gases are generally less
dense than liquids - they have low densities.means you can compress a gas,
unlike with a solid or a liquid because their particles still have bonds
◍ effect of burning of fossil fuels with sulphur impurities.
Answer: the sulphur is oxidised to form sulphur dioxide, which causes
human respiratory problems and dissolves in water to form acid rain
◍ how a fractionating column works.
Answer: crude oil is heated to a high temperature so that everything except
the residue evaporates, then it is gradually cooled and as the different
fractions condense at different temperatures they are collected
,◍ effects of temperature decrease in an exothermic reaction in equilibrium.
Answer: relative amount of product increases
◍ there is only a certain amount of them.
Answer: finite means...
◍ volatile fractions.
Answer: ignite and burn more easily
◍ decimeters cubed abbreviation.
Answer: dm³
◍ cations in electrolysis.
Answer: move to cathode and are reduced
◍ L I Q U I D S.
Answer: there are weaker forces of attraction between the particles. the
particles are close together, but can move past each other, and form irregular
arrangements. they have more energy than the particles in a solid - they
vibrate and move in random directions at low speeds. liquids are generally
less dense than solids.
◍ how an LCA can be used.
Answer: to compare and evaluate the impact of the use of different materials
for the same purpose, and the use of the same material for different jobs
◍ cathode.
Answer: negative electrode
◍ formula for calculating RoRxn using a graph (where time is on the y-axis).
Answer: RoRxn = ∆x ÷∆y
◍ break down effluent using micro-organisms.
Answer: treating sewage: aerobic biological treatment is used to...
◍ reforestation.
Answer: opposite of deforestation - planting more trees
◍ reaction profile.
, Answer: an energy level diagram that who's the relative energies of the
reactants and products, activation energy and overall energy change
◍ yellow.
Answer: flame tests: Na
◍ how a reaction stops.
Answer: when all the particles of one of the reactants are used
◍ organic chemistry: 4.
Answer: but
◍ strength of steel.
Answer: 10¹¹N/m²
◍ simple distillation.
Answer: evaporating water and condensing it in a separate container
◍ possible effects of climate change.
Answer: more extreme weather patterns; drought in some areas, flooding
and increased rainfall in others; increased sea levels; warmer oceans; polar
icecaps/glaciers melting; coastal erosion; increased land temperatures
(which in turn affects the behaviour of animals and plants, and their
migration patterns)
◍ symbol for liquid.
Answer: l
◍ chromatography.
Answer: using a solvent to separate pigments so you can identify them
◍ Potential difference =.
Answer: current (A) x resistance (Ω)
◍ reduction.
Answer: losing oxygen or gaining electrons
◍ green.
Answer: NaOH precipitate test: Fe²⁺
