Chlorine Cl 2
7
Sulphuric Acid H 2 SO 4
8
Carbon (Buckminsterfullerene) C 60
9
Sodium Hydroxide NaOH
10
Definitions Element Contains only one type of Atom. Found on the Periodic Table (of elements) Compound Consists of 2 or more elements bonded (fixed) together
12
Which Elements are in the Compounds?
13
Carbon Dioxide CO 2
14
Water H2OH2O
15
Sulphuric Acid H 2 SO 4
16
Sodium Hydroxide NaOH
17
Elements, Compounds and Rocks Rocks are a MIXTURE of Compounds The most common compound is Silicon Dioxide SiO 2 This is commonly known as Quartz or Silica
18
Rocks and Plate Movements
19
The Rock Cycle Three Rock Types: Sedimentary - made from sediment Metamorphic – changed by heat and pressure Igneous – formed from Lava or Magma (molten rock)
20
Plate Movements
21
Useful Resources from Rocks Coal (carbon) Limestone (Calcium Carbonate) Marble (Calcium Carbonate) Rock Salt (Sodium Chloride) Metal Ores (Compounds containing Metals)
22
Early Chemical Industry
24
What’s the use in Salt? What can Salt be used for? List as many things as you can. Hint – For some, Think about the elements that Salt is made from.
25
Uses of Salt Food (seasoning and preservation) Gritting Road (melts ice) Making Chlorine – Bleach Making Sodium Hydroxide – Soaps and Cleaners Making Hydrogen Gas – A Fuel
26
How is Salt obtained? Evaporation of Sea Water Mining of Rock salt Solution mining of Rock Salt
28
Why use salt in our food? Preservative (stops bacteria from growing) Flavour enhancer (seasoning) Makes food taste better / stronger
29
Salted Cod – Used to Preserve it
30
What is Risk? Risk depends upon 2 factors: Chance of something happening Level of harm that occurs if it does
31
Risk Actual Risk – A Risk calculated from actual data Perceived Risk – A risk thought by individuals without clear data to support it
32
Precautionary Principle If the risks or harm from an activity may be greater than any benefit, it makes sense to restrict or stop the activity. This is particularly true where the level of risk is as yet unknown.
33
Salt and Health Risks: High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease and Strokes High Salt diet – Processed food with added salt Salt is needed – but no more than about 4g per day Current average intake in the UK: Men - 11g of salt per day Women - 8g of salt per day
34
What is an Alkali? Chemical Compounds that contain HYDROXIDE ions (OH-) Turn Universal Indicator Blue or Purple Have a pH over 7, usually between 9 (weak) and 14 (very strong)
35
Recognising Alkalis
36
Uses of Alkalis Making Soap Neutralising Soil Making Glass Dyeing Cloth
40
Alkali Reactions
42
Is it an Alkali? Sodium Hydroxide
43
Is it an Alkali? Water
44
Is it an Alkali? It turns Universal Indicator Blue
45
Is it an Alkali? Potassium Hydroxide
46
Is it an Alkali? Hydrochloric Acid
47
Is it an Alkali? Urea (Urine)
48
Is it an Alkali? Wasp Sting
49
Is it an Alkali? Soapy Water
50
Is it an Alkali? Milk
51
Is it an Alkali? Ammonium Hydroxide
52
Is it an Alkali? Rain water
53
Is it an Alkali? It turns Universal Indicator Yellow
54
Is it an Alkali? Lithium Hydroxide
55
Is it an Alkali? Sulphuric Acid
56

57
Is it an Alkali? Bee Sting
58
Is it an Alkali? Bleach
59

61
Acid or Alkali? Magnesium Hydroxide
62
Acid or Alkali? It turns Universal Indicator Blue
63
Is it an Alkali? Lemon Juice
64
Acid or Alkali? Vinegar
65
Acid or Alkali? Drain Cleaner
66
Acid or Alkali? Bar of Soap
67
Acid or Alkali? Stomach Juices
68
Acid or Alkali? Aluminium Hydroxide
69
Acid or Alkali? It turns Universal Indicator Yellow
70
Acid or Alkali? Caesium Hydroxide
71
Acid or Alkali? HCl
72
Acid or Alkali? NaOH
73
Acid or Alkali? KOH
74
Acid or Alkali? H 2 SO 4
75
Electrolysis Using Electricity to split up compounds into the original element that they are made from
77
Chlorine Extracted from Salt Water by ELECTROLYSIS Toxic Green Coloured Gas Very Strong Bleach Why would it be added to drinking water?
79
Risks of Chlorine in Drinking Water Chlorine in drinking water can pose potential risks – creating chemicals which are toxic or even carcinogenic SO WHY ADD CHLORINE??? Benefit outweighs the risk
80
Questions Why is it important that drinking water is treated with Chlorine? Chlorine is a Toxic gas. How can it be safe to add it to drinking water? What potential health risks come from Chlorine in drinking water? Why do we continue to add Chlorine, despite the risks is poses?
81
Electrolysis of Brine Brine – Solution of Salt Water Salt – Sodium Chloride Electrolysis – Splitting up compounds using Electrical Current
82
Chemical Warning Signs Chemistry and Chemicals have their own warning signs of potential hazards These help you to take the correct precautions to ensure that you stay safe and risk is minimised. What do these hazard symbols stand for?
85
Flammable
87
Toxic
89
Explosive
91
Corrosive
93
Harmful (h) or Irritant (i)
95
Oxidising
97
Dangerous to the Environment
98
Assessing Chemical Risk We need to know: -How much of it is needed to cause harm -How much will be used -How it will be used -Chance of escaping into the environment -Who or what it may affect
99
Chemical Safety REACH Regulation Evaluation Authorisation and restriction of Chemical Substances
100
Risks of Plasticisers uPVC – Stiff, Tough Plastic used to make many things including Drainpipes, Doors and Window Frames PVC – Can be softened by adding PLASTICISERS. These make the plastic softer and more flexible. Used in sheeting, coating for wires and as a leather replacement.
101
Risks of Plasticisers
102
What does Sustainable mean? Using the Earth’s resources in a way that can continue in the future “They won’t run out”
103
At the end of the Life Cycle
104
Life Cycle Assessment CRADLE: What is your product? What materials is it made from? What raw materials are used? Are they sustainable? LIFE: What is your product used for? How long will it last? Is any energy or chemicals used in maintaining it during its life? How long is its life likely to be? GRAVE: What could happen to it at the end of its life? List all the alternatives and what would happen to it in this stage. Which of these is the best option and why?
105
