Study Notes
Assertion and Reason Questions
- Oxyacetylene flame: Used for welding; combustion of acetylene is rapid combustion
- Lime water: Air passed through turns milky; constituents of a mixture retain properties
Global Warming
- Cause: Reradiation of infrared (IR) rays by CO2 and H2O
- Not a cause: Reradiation of UV rays by O2 and N2
Minerals and Oxygen
- Mineral lacking oxygen: Carbonates
- Minerals containing oxygen: Silicates, Pyrites
Chemical Reactions
- Reaction with oxygen: X + O2 → Y; Y + H2O → Z; Z turns blue litmus red, X could be Ca, S, C, or P.
Tropospheric Atmosphere
- Turbulence causes: Convectional currents of air rising due to high temperatures in lower layers
Atmospheric Layers
- Layer above the surface: Troposphere
- Stratosphere temperature: Remains almost constant and then increases with altitude
Gases and Combustion
- Combustible and supporter of combustion: Oxygen
- Not combustible and a supporter of combustion: Nitrous oxide
Balloons and Atmospheric Pressure
- Balloon on moon: Balloon would contract; atmospheric pressure is lower than on earth
Air Conditioning and Refrigeration
- Refrigeration Gases: CFCs
Other Facts
- Oxides giving off oxygen: Ag2O, Pb3O4
- Lowest boiling point: Ne
- Fountain pens in airplanes: Ink vaporizes due to low external air pressure causing ink leakage.
