What is Oxides of Carbon?
Carbon forms two types of oxides, carbon monoxide ‘CO’ and carbon dioxide ‘CO 2’. Also it forms carbon suboxide, C3O2. Carbon monoxide is produced when one of the naturally occurring forms of elemental carbon is heated or burned in a limited amount of oxygen.
|
What is the melting point and boiling point?
-163.6 and -151.8
|
What kind of environment does acid deposition make?
A heavily polluted one
|
Why is Al obtained only by electrolytic reduction of Alumina?
Aluminium metal has a strong affinity for oxygen and the oxide of Al is Al2O3, which is a very stable oxide. Hence ordinary chemically reducing agents are not sufficient to reduce Al2O3 to Al. Electrolytic reduction is a more powerful reduction method.
|
Atoms are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons.
True
|
|
What are some man-made sources?
Human sources come from activities like cement production, forest fire as well as the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.
|
Side effects of breathing in the Nitrogen Oxides?
Irritated eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Coughing, tiredness, shortness of breath and nausea
|
What’s one way Nitrogen Oxides are created?
Process of burning coal and fossil fuels
|
Name the two ores of Zinc that are commonly used
The two commonly used ores of zinc are zinc blende (ZnS) and calamine (ZnCO3)
|
Ionic bonds occur between either 2 positive or 2 negative atoms.
False
|
|
What kinds of radiation pass through the atmosphere, and what kinds are absorbed?
Radiatively active gases absorb specific wavelengths of radiation. Very little radiation is absorbed in the visible wavelengths, between about 0.4 and 0.75 micrometers.
|
What is the chemical reaction?
N2 + 8H + 8E = 2NH3 + H2
|
How to decrease the pollution this creates?
Carpool, walk, bike, reduce electrical use around your house
|
Name two metals that occur in a free state nature.
Gold and Platinum are two metals that occur in a free in state in nature.
|
In a covalent bond, atoms share outermost electrons to achieve stability.
True
|
|
Why do clear winter nights tend to be colder than cloudy ones?
Clouds absorb a lot of outgoing (infrared) radiation, and reradiate it back down to earth. On nights when clouds are nonexistent, much less radiation comes back to us and more goes through the atmosphere out to space.
|
What are 2 natural sources? What are 2 man made sources?
Wildfires and lightning storms and then cigarettes smoking, heating and exhausts
|
What does acid rain remove from soil?
Nutrients and minerals
|
What is the method of refining them?
They only need to be cleaned by physical methods.
|
Glucose is a molecule made up of C, H, and O atoms joined together by chemical bonds.
True
|
|
Is it possible to separate the carbon and oxygen from CO2 as is possible with other molecules?
The problem in separating the carbon and oxygen from CO2 is that CO2 is a very stable molecule, because of the bonds that hold the carbon and oxygen together, and it takes a lot of energy to separate them.
|
Nitrogen oxides play a huge role in creating what formation?
Photochemical smog
|
What environment is the ecological effects of acid rain most seen in?
Aquatic
