Meaning of reactants | Two chemicals or objects that react with one another to form something different. |
Magnesium + Oxygen --> | Magneisium Oxide |
Methane + O2 --> | carbon dioxide + water |
fuel + O2 --> | CO2 + water |
methane + O2 --> | carbon monoxide + water |
What is the limewater test? | A test in which you put a gas through limewater, if it goes foggy it means that it is O2, if it doesnt it is CO2 |
What are the 3 sides of the fire triangle? | O2, heat and fuel |
Why is CO2 used in fire extinguishers? | because CO2 floats down and puts out fires easily |
What is a 'fire break'? | something that blocks a fire from spreading |
What side of the fire triangle is taken away in a fire break? | Fuel |
What is dry ice made of? and how cold does it have to get? | Carbon Dioxide, -80degrees celcius |
What happens to metals when left to react with air and water? | Rust forms and it starts to corrode. |
What 2 things are formed when starch is heated? | Water vapour and CO2 |
T/F Fireworks are NOT a chemical rection. | False. They are. |
What happens when a barely lit splint is put into a jar of O2? | It ignites furiously |
What happens when a splint is put into a jar of CO2? | It gets put out. |
What happpens when you put a lit splint into a jar of Hydrogyen? | It makes a popping sound. |
What happens when Magneisium is put over a flame? | It goes white and brightens. |
Give 4 examples of fuel | Petrol, Wood, O2, coal, nateral gasses, oil are all acceptable. |
Explain why a candle, when put in a glass that is turned upside down, gets put out after a while. | Because the candle is burning O2 and releasing CO2 causing it to run out of O2 in which it will take a side of the fire triangle out. |
Explain useful use for explosives. | Tearing down houses easily, shows, fireworks. |

T/F People can always tell that they've been poisoned with Carbon Monoxide because of the smell and taste of it is unbearable | False. People never know. |
Why was it easy for the Buncefeild oil depot to catch fire? | Because it had a lot of oil in it which ignights easily. |
A chemical reaction becaomes an explosion when... | A large amount of gas is formed A lot of heat is released Plenty of o2 is available |
