mass
amount of matter in an object
volume
the space in an object
density
mass-to-volume ratio in an object
aqueous
a mixture where substance dissolves in water
prrecipitate
A solid that forms when two solutions are mixed and a chemical reaction produces a compound that does not dissolve in the liquid.
decomposition
ab = a+b
precipitation
AB(aq) + CD(aq) → AD(s) + CB(aq)
neutralisation
Acid + Base → Salt + Water
acid-metal
Acid + Metal → Salt + H2
Acid-Carbonate
Acid + Carbonate → Salt + Water + CO2
Complete combustion
A + BC → AC + B
Incomplete conbustion
O2 → CO2 + H2O + C
Corrosion
Glucose + Oxygen → CO2 + Water
Respiration
CO2 + Water → Glucose + Oxygen
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.
Ozone
three oxygen bonded together
atmosphere
The atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds the Eart
biosphere
The global sum of all ecosystems, containing all living organisms on Earth.
hole in ozone layer
The hole in the ozone layer refers to the thinning/depletion of the ozone layer, particularly above the Antarctic
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

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
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
How humans have contributed to the increase in concentration nitrous oxide
using fertilisers
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)
