    Elements

    } Substances made up of only one type of

    atom.} The atoms are held together by chemical

    bonds.

    Compounds

    } Two or more different types of elementsthat are chemically joined by a chemicalbond.

    }Compounds have completely differentchemical properties from the originalelements. (This is because a chemicalreaction has taken place)

    } The chemical bonds makes it difficult toseparate compounds.

    Mixtures

    } Two or more different types of elements

    that are mixed together (i.e there is nochemical bond)

    } This means that the different elementskeep their original properties.

    } This makes it easy to separate themthrough use of physical methods.

    Periodic Table

    }GROUPS Vertical columns that containelements that have similar chemical

    properties.

    } PERIODS Horizontal rows that containelements with the same number of shells

    } SYMBOLS Shorthand way of writingelements. Prevents confusion betweendifferent languages.

    Chemical Bond

    } This is formed in a chemical reactionwhereby the electrons from the atoms

    involved are given, taken or shared.

    }An ionic bond is formed when electronsare given and taken.

    }A covalent bond is formed when

    electrons are shared.

    Limestone

    } Formed when sand/mud/remains of deadanimals and plants fall to the bottom of

    the ocean. They decompose and arecemented and compacted to form alayer of rock called limestone. This processtakes millions of years.

    } Limestone is mainly Calcium Carbonate(CaCO3)

    How is limestone gathered?

    } It is quarried out of the ground all over theworld.

    } This has many problems:

    } Damage/Destruction to habitats

    } Noise pollution

    } Air pollution by lorries carrying it away from

    the site} Ruined landscape produced that requires

    a lot of money to fix.

    Uses of Limestone

    } Shaped into blocks Statues and Buildings

    }

    Although acid rain reacts with the limestoneand dissolves it away

    } Road Surfacing

    }Cement

    }Concrete

    }Mortar

    }Glass

    Cement

    } Powdered Limestone + Powdered Clay

    }

    Heated in a kiln} Produces cement

  • 8/3/2019 C1A Chapter 1

    Concrete

    }Cement + Sand + Water + Gravel

    }Mixed Together

    } Produces concrete

    } This is a slow reaction!!!

    } You can add steel rods to make

    reinforced concrete} Hardness of concrete and strength of steel

    Glass

    } Powdered Limestone + Sand + SodiumCarbonate

    } Heated at high temperatures in a kiln

    } Produces Glass

    } WeatherProof + Light

    } Very important building material

    Thermal DecompositionReaction

    } Thermal decomposition is when onesubstance is heated strongly and

    chemically changes into at least two newsubstances.

    Thermal Decomposition ofLimestone

    } This process is done in a lime kiln

    }

    Limestone is heated strongly.} It breaks down into calcium oxide and

    carbon dioxide.

    }CaCO3 CaO + CO2

    Calcium Oxide (Quick Lime)

    }Calcium Oxide + Water

    } Produces Calcium Hydroxide

    }Quick Lime + Water Slaked Lime

    }CaO + H2O Ca(OH)2

    } This reaction gives out a lot of heat!!!

  • 8/3/2019 C1A Chapter 1

    Calcium Hydroxide (SlakedLime)

    } Slaked lime is an alkali used to neutraliseacidic fields. This is a faster way in

    comparison to powdered limestone.

  • 8/3/2019 C1A Chapter 1

    17/21

    Lime Water

    }Calcium Hydroxide (Slaked Lime) is notvery soluble in water. However, a little bit

    can be dissolved in water.

    }After filtering, a colourless solution isproduced called lime water.

    18/21

    Test for Carbon Dioxide

    }Carbon dioxide is bubbled through thelime water.

    } The carbon dioxide reacts with thecalcium hydroxide to produce calciumcarbonate and water.

    } The calcium carbonate is insoluble in

    water and therefore the solution turnscloudy.

    Old Mortar

    } Slaked Lime + Sand + Water

    }

    This produces the old type of mortar.}Mortar is used for holding building

    materials together.

    }When the mortar is used, it is exposed toair. Carbon dioxide reacts with the slakedlime to produce calcium carbonate andwater.

    20/21

    Old Mortar Continued} Ca(OH)2 + CO2 CaCO3 + H2O

    } The right amount of sand needs to be used in

    this mixture:} TooMuch Mortar becomes weak

    } Too Little Mortar shrinks when it dries

    } The mortar does not harden very quickly!

    } This mortar does not harden when water ispresent because the water prevents thecarbon dioxide reacting.

    } Adding volcanic ash or brick dust solves thisproblem.

    New Mortar

    } Portland Cement (made in the same wayas cement but with minerals)

    } Portland Cement + Sand

    } This produces the modern mortar whichsets when water is added.
