What is an Isotope?
atoms of the same element with the same number of protons, different number of neutrons
1 of 18
Electrolysis is:
the splitting or decomposing of substances using electricity
2 of 18
A Nano-particle is one that is really small, true or false?
True
3 of 18
The properties of graphite are:
Each carbon atom has three bonds, made up of layers that can slide over each other, allowing the conduction of electricity
4 of 18
Ionic bonding is:
The loss or gain of electrons
5 of 18
What is an acid?
A substance that releases H+ ions
6 of 18
When you have a strong alkali, what happens?
It dissociates in water, releasing OH- ions
7 of 18
In electrolysis, oxidation means?
The loss of electrons
8 of 18
Acid + Base -> ?
Acid + Base -> Salt + Water
9 of 18
If halide ions are present during electrolysis, a halide ion is produced, true or false?
True
10 of 18
If a sulphate, nitrate or carbonate is present you get?
O2
11 of 18
Ammonia is used for fertilisers, true or false?
True
12 of 18
Halides are diatomic molecules, true or false?
True
13 of 18
What conditions are used in the Haber process?
200 atms, 450 degrees and an iron catalyst
14 of 18
Why are high temperatures used but low pressures
to favor forward exothermic reaction and keep costs down
15 of 18
When a reaction forms a solid it is called a:
precipitation
16 of 18
You can increase the rate of reaction by:
by increaing temp, surface area and concentration and using a catalyst
17 of 18

Meant to click 4 not 3 stars! helpful test :)

Good! However, for question 15, high temperatures don't favour the forward exothermic reaction because a high temp in exothermic reactions gives a low yield
