1
Types of Chemical Change
Oxidation Combustion Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis
2
Oxidation Materials oxidize when they react with oxygen in the air
Rusting (corrosion) is a form of oxidation Iron in air will form iron oxide (rust) Fe + O2 FeO2 (iron oxide)
3
Presence of air, light, water and salt can accelerate oxidation
4
Iron Oxide (Rust)
5
Copper Oxide
6
To prevent or slow oxidation…
Galvanize the metal (coat in Zinc) Oil coating Rust proofing Water proofing Add preservatives to food which may oxidize
7
Combustion A form of oxidation that releases a large amount of energy
Burning wood, cellular respiration Burning fossil fuels Principal of the “internal combustion engine”
8
Internal Combustion Engine
9
3 conditions to promote combustion
Fuel (wood, propane, oil, gas etc.) Oxidizing agent: causes the fuel to react (oxygen in the air is most common) Ignition temperature: minimum temperature which combustion starts. Different for each type of fuel.
10
Triangle of Fire
11
3 types of combustion Rapid: fire, explosion, car engine
Spontaneous: ignites without any outside energy source (eg: some forest fires, oil coated rags) Slow: decomposition, fermentation, metal corrosion
12
Cellular Respiration A chemical change in which glucose (sugar) and oxygen are used to generate energy Essential to life A form of slow combustion Allows organisms to survive and function
13
Glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy
14
Photosynthesis Chemical change that produces glucose and oxygen from solar energy, carbon dioxide and water Essential for plant growth and human survival
16
Photosynthesis
