What elements make up a hydrocarbon?

Hydrogen and Carbon

200

What is the biological process of making bioethanol from barley?

Fermentation

200

What size crystals are made when igneous rocks cool slowly? (large/small)

Large

200

How do we extract medium reactive metals (e.g. iron)?

Methane reduction

200

What can you do to purify water after filtering it through soil?

Boil it, use water purification tablets, evaporate it and condense it again

300

What is another word for burning in chemistry? 

Double your points: What is produced when you burn a fossil fuel?

Combustion

CO2 and water

300

What is one negative of using renewables?

Expensive, not as efficient

300

What is a use of sedimentary rock?

Cement, plaster, chalk
300

What elements are dissolved in water to make hard water?

Calcium and magnesium

300

How is acid rain produced?

Fossil fuels are burned and carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide dissolve in rain water.

400

How are fossil fuels used in a power station?

The fossil fuel (e.g. coal) is burned in a furnace, heating water which produced steam. This steam is used to turn a turbine which generates electricity.

Must have 2 out of 3 italicised for points.

What type of rock is marble? Why is it used in building?

Metamorphic, it is strong and shiny

500

How do we extract very reactive metals (e.g. aluminium)?

Electrolysis
