New cards

mass

amount of matter in an object

2
New cards

volume

the space in an object

3
New cards

density

mass-to-volume ratio in an object

4
New cards

aqueous

a mixture where substance dissolves in water

5
New cards

prrecipitate

A solid that forms when two solutions are mixed and a chemical reaction produces a compound that does not dissolve in the liquid.

6
New cards

decomposition

ab = a+b

7
New cards

precipitation

AB(aq) + CD(aq) → AD(s) + CB(aq)

8
New cards

neutralisation

Acid + Base → Salt + Water

9
New cards

acid-metal

Acid + Metal → Salt + H2

10
New cards

Acid-Carbonate

Acid + Carbonate → Salt + Water + CO2

11
New cards

Complete combustion

A + BC → AC + B

12
New cards

Incomplete conbustion

O2 → CO2 + H2O + C

13
New cards

Corrosion

Glucose + Oxygen → CO2 + Water

14
New cards

Respiration

CO2 + Water → Glucose + Oxygen

15
New cards

Ozone layer

A region of the Earth's stratosphere (the second layer of the atmosphere), about 10 to 50 km above the Earth’s surface. It contains a high concentration of ozone (O₃) molecules.

16
New cards

Ozone

three oxygen bonded together

17
New cards

atmosphere

The atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds the Eart

18
New cards

biosphere

The global sum of all ecosystems, containing all living organisms on Earth.

19
New cards

hole in ozone layer

The hole in the ozone layer refers to the thinning/depletion of the ozone layer, particularly above the Antarctic

20
New cards

CFCs

CFCs are stable compounds that, when released into the atmosphere, rise to the stratosphere. Their UV radiation from the sun breaks them down releasing chlorine atoms

21
New cards

TSMTE

Troposphere

0-12

  • Closest to Earth’s surface 

  • Weather occurs here (clouds rain, storms 

Stratosphere

12-50

  • Contains the Ozone Layer

  • Where planes usually fly

Mesosphere

50-85

  • Coldest layer

  • Meteors burn up here

Thermosphere

85-600

  • Temperature increases greatly (can reach 2,500°C+)

  • Auroras happen here

  • ISS (International Space Station) orbits here along with most satellites

Exosphere

600+

  • Outermost layer

  • Very thin (blends into space)

  • Mainly hydrogen and helium atoms

New cards

How humans have contributed to the increase in concentration carbon dioxide

Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. 70% of Australia’s electricity is produced by burning coal

23
New cards

How humans have contributed to the increase in concentration methane

Farming cattle (which produce methane when they digest grass) and growing rice in paddies.Increased temperatures lead to the melting of permafrost in the Arctic

24
New cards

How humans have contributed to the increase in concentration nitrous oxide

using fertilisers

25
New cards

How humans have contributed to the increase in concentration water vapour

As the concentrations of other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increase due to human activity, more heat is trapped, which increases water vapour concentrations (increased humidity)
