Neutralization Reactions
This common kitchen ingredient, containing acetic acid, is often used to clean mineral deposits.
Vinegar
The burning of this substance in campfires releases heat and energy.
Wood.
This process, similar to rusting, describes the breakdown of metals over time.
Corrosion.
Burning fossil fuels releases this gas, which traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere and contributes to global warming.
Carbon dioxide.
This planet has the highest mountain in our solar system.
Mars (Olympus Mons).
These tablets are bases that neutralize stomach acid, providing relief from heartburn.
This gas, a major contributor to climate change, is produced when gasoline is burned in vehicles.
Carbon dioxide.
A method to protect boats from corrosion is by using these pieces of metal that corrode instead of the boat.
Sacirficial anodes.
This term refers to gases like carbon dioxide that trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to an increase in Earth’s temperature.
Greenhouse gases.
This is the fastest thing in the universe.
Light.
Lemon juice is acidic and used in cooking to neutralize the fishy taste of this kind of food.
Fish.
The solid, powdery residue left behind after burning wood is called this.
Soot.
Cars use special coatings and alternatives like this material because it does not corrode.
Plastic.
Some industrial processes and the burning of fossil fuels emit nitrous oxides and sulfure dioxide, causing this damaging weather phenomenon.
Acid rain.
What is the simplest element on the periodic table?
Hydrogen.
Stomach acid entering this part of the body causes the burning sensation known as heartburn.
Esophagus (throat or chest).
These devices, required in cars, help reduce the harmful gases released during fuel combustion.
Catalytic converters.
Corrosion in cars can be reduced by using protective coatings made from this metal, which is often used in galvanization.
Zinc.
Acid rain is caused by the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the air during this chemical process.
Combustion.
What year did humans land on the moon?
1969.
Vinegar can dissolve these deposits formed from minerals in water, often found in coffee makers.
Mineral deposits.
When burning gasoline in vehicles, pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and this gas are emitted, contributing to air pollution.
Nitrogen dioxide.
This environmental issue, caused by the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide from burning fuels, accelerates corrosion in metals.
Acid rain.
One of the technologies that helps reduce our dependence on combustion is this type of car that uses a combination of gasoline and electric power.
Hybrid vehicle.
This was the first human invention that broke the sound barrier.
Whip.
