Carbon Cycle
Refers to the number of protons an element has. Carbon's is 6.
What is Atomic Number?
The molecules/compounds that are doing the reacting (on the left side of a chemical equation
What are reactants?
Water is called this when it is a solid
What is ice?
This type of substance/environment is associated with a low pH (<7)
What is an acid/acidic?
This is Mr. Walsh's favorite color
What is green? Shoutout to the plants :)
The total amount of water found on, below, or above a planet.
What is the Hydrosphere?
The Law that dictates why chemical equations must be balanced.
What is The Law of Conservation of Matter?
Mercury does this at 356.7ºC when it goes from a solid to a liquid.
What is melts?
pH is really a measure of this ion.
What is H+?
This is Mr. Walsh's middle name.
One of two ways that humans are interrupting the natural Carbon Cycle that we discussed in class.
What is deforestation or extraction/combustion of fossil fuels?
Tells you the number of molecules in a chemical equation.
What is a Coefficient?
Most of the water in the Atmosphere is found in this phase.
What is gas (water vapor)?
What is decrease?
This is Mr. Walsh's dog's name.
What is Max?
CO2 (carbon dioxide) is released by animals (and plants!) as a result of this process.
What is respiration?
When a chemical reaction is balanced, this is the same on both sides of the reaction.
What is the number of atoms of each element?
Matter contains the most kinetic energy in this phase.
What is a gas?
When CO2 dissolves in water, it produces this weak acid.
What is carbonic acid (H2CO3)?
This is Mr. Walsh's cat's name.
What is Pepper?
The largest carbon sink on Earth.
What is the ocean?
Balance the following chemical reaction: H2 + O2 --> H2O
What is 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O ?
Removing kinetic (thermal) energy from Water Vapor will cause it to do this and become liquid water.
What is condense/condensation?
The pH scale is this type of scale, which makes a pH =3 , 100x more acidic than a pH = 4.
What is a logarithmic scale?
This is Mr. Walsh's mom's name.
What is Lori?
