thermocromatic Pigments

-Change colour when heated or cooled
-Used in acrylic paints

Phosphorescent Pigments

-Absorb and store energy to release as light when it's dark
-The first glow in the dark paints were made from radioactive materials

Fossil Fuels
(Three Types)

-Crude Oil
-Coal
-Natural Gas

Fossil Fuels
(Properties)

-Formed naturally over millions of years
-Finite and non-renewable
-Easily extracted
-Used too quickly

Crude Oil
(Properties and Uses)

-Oil spills damage wildlife and beaches
-Found in the Earth's crust
-Transported through pipelines or oil tankers
-Detergents are used to break up oil slicks with toxic chemicals that can harm wildlife

Fractional Distillation
(Process)

Oil is heated in a fractioning column with a catalyst. Hydrocarbons with low boiling points leave at the top, and those with high leave at the bottom.

Fractions of Cracking Hydrocarbons


(Lowest to Highest Boiling Point)

-LPG


-Petrol


-Paraffin


-Diesel


-Heating Oil


-Fuel


-Bitumen

Hydrocarbons


(Bonds)

-Strong covalent bonds


-Weak intermolecular bonds


Complete Combustion


(Word and Symbol Equation)

Methane + Oxygen ---> Carbon Dioxide + Water


CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H2O

Incomplete Combustion


(Word and Symbol Equation)

Methane + Oxygen--->Carbon Monoxide + Water


2CH4 + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 4H2O

Factors Affecting Choosing Fuels


(Six Factors)

-Energy Value


-Availability


-Storage


-Cost


-Toxicity


-Pollution

Photosynethesis

Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen as a by-product

Respiration

Living things take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide

Combustion

Reactions between fuel and oxygen that release heat

The Earth's Atmosphere (1)

-Earth released gases from the crust in a volcanic state.


-The initial atmosphere was ammonia, carbon dioxide and water vapour.

The Earth's Atmosphere (2)

Water vapour condensed to water as the earth cooled.


Formed oceans removed some CO2 through dissolving.

The Earth's Atmosphere (3)

Nitrifying Bacteria released fairly unreactive Nitrogen gas

The Earth's Atmosphere (4)

Oxygen level increased with the development of plants that could photosynthesise, removing CO2 from the atmosphere.

Sulfur Dioxide


(Formation and Effects)

-Made from the burning of fossil fuels containing sulfur impurities


-Causes acid rain


-Harms plants and aquatic life


-erodes stonework and corrodes iron work

Nitrogen Oxides


(Formation and Effects)

-Made from the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen in car engines


-causes photochemical fog and acid rain

Burning Fossil Fuels...

Increases the amount of CO2

Deforestation....

Causes a decrease in photosynthesis so a decrease in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere

Turning Carbon Monoxide into Carbon Dioxide

Uses a catalytic Converter to create nitrogen and oxygen from the reaction of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide

Hydrogen and Carbon Atoms


(Bonds)

Hydrogen atoms make one bond


Carbon Atoms make four bonds


Carbon atoms share a pair of electrons with hydrogen atoms to form a covalent bonds


Alkanes

Hydrocarbon chains with single covalent bonds

Alkenes

Hydrocarbon chains with double covalent bonds

Saturated Hydrocarbons

Max amount of hydrogen atoms for each carbon


Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

Not the max amount of hydrogen atoms for each carbon


Bromine Water Tests

Alkenes decolourise in bromine water

Polymers

Molecules in plastics


Polymerisation

The process of joining monomers (Alkenes made from cracking) under high presssure to make polymers

Polythene


(Properties and Uses)

Properties
-Light
-Flexible


-Easily Moulded


-Can be printed on


Uses
-Plastic Bags


-Moulded Containers

Polystyrene


(Properties and Uses)

Properties


-Light


-Poor conductor of heat


Uses


-Insulation

Polyester


(Properties and Uses)

Properties


-Light Weight


-Waterproof


-Tough


-Can be coloured


Uses


Clothing


Bottles

Plastics with weak intermolecular forces between polymer molecules....

-Have low melting points


-Can be stretched easily

Plastics with strong intermolecular forces between polymer molecules....

-Have high melting points


-Rigid and can't be stretched

Nylon


(Properties)

-Lightweight


-Tough


-Waterproof


-Blocks UV Light


-Doesn't let water vapour escape ---> Perspiration


Gore Tex

-Made from nylon


-Holes in fabric are too small for water to pass through but water vapour can be released.


-Nylon fibres are laminated with a membrane to allow water vapour release

Landfill Sites


(Con's)

-Plastics are non-bio-degradable so they won't break down from bacteria and decay


-Wastes valuable resources


-Landfill sites get filled up very quickly


Burning Polymers


(Con's)

-Produces Air Pollution


-Some plastics produce toxic fumes when they are burned


-Wastes valuable resources


Recycling Polymers


(Con's)

-Expensive


-Time Consuming

Bio-degradable Plastics


-Contain parts to dissolve and break up the polymer chain easily


-Dishwasher Detergent Tablets

Heating eggs and meat causes the molecules to _____ which is an ______ _______ that causes the ________ and _______ to change

Heating eggs and meat causes the molecules to denature which is an irreversable process that causes the texture and appearance to change

Cooking Potatoes


(Effect of heat on starch)

-Heat breaks down the rigid cell wall so the cells becomes soft.


-Starch grains swell up and are released so the body can digest them easily.
