1. Fuels are substances, which burn to produce heat energy. They can be solid, liquid or gas and primary or natural fuel and secondary or processed fuel.

2. Calorific value is amount of heat produced by burning a unit mass of fuel completely. It is measure in KJ/g.

Calorific Value = Heat Produced/ Fuel used

3. Ignition temperature of a substance is the temperature at which the substance catches fire.

4. Destructive distillation is the process in which complex carbon compounds are strongly heated in closed vessel in absence of oxygen to break into simple form of carbon.

5. Destructive distillation of wood produces :- Wood gas, Tar, Charcoal, Methyl Alcohol and acetic acid.

6. Destructive distillation of coal produces coal gas, ammonical liquor, coal tar and coke.

7. Gas prepared by anaerobic fermentation of animal waste and plants waste in presence of water is Biogas, which is a mixture of Methane Carbon dioxide, Hydrogen and Hydrogen suphide.

8. Fractional distillation is the process used for separating a mixture of liquids having different boiling points. Crude petroleum is passed through a fractionating column. Fractions with higher boiling points are collected in the lowest part and those with low boiling points are collected at the top of the column.

9. Liquefied petroleum gas is mainly butane with some propane and ethane. Ethyl mercaptan C2H2SH is added to detect a leakage.

10. Cracking is the process of breaking up a higher hydrocarbon into smaller saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon molecules by heat or a catalyst.

C12H26 Heat C7H16 + C5H10
Dodecane Heptane Pentene

Carbon Dioxide causes Green house effect i.e. rise in earth's atm temperature. Carbon mono Oxide on inhalation mixes with haemoglobin to form carboxy haemoglobin, which reduces the oxygen carrying capacity causing suffocation and even death.

11. Flame is the region where the fuel burns. It is hot because the energy released in forming new bonds of products is very large as compared to the energy used in breaking the bonds within the fuel.

12. Rocket propellant are rocket fuels e.g Liquid hydrogen synthetic rubber, kerosene oil, liquid ammonia.An oxidiser is added to the propellant e.g. liquid oxygen, liquid fluorine and hydrogen peroxide.

24. Respiration is the process, which burns our food slowly within our body at 37°C. It is a complete combustion and carbon dioxide water and energy are the products. Whereas combustion is a fast process outside our body at high temperature and is usually incomplete with carbon mono oxide and unburned carbon particles.

Metal

Non-Metal

 

Are elements which form positive ions by losing electrons

Are elements, which form negative ions by gaining electrons.

Oxides of metal are basic Oxides of non-metal are acidic or neutral.
They have 1-3 electrons in the outermost shell of their atom They have 4-8 electrons in the outermost shell of their atom.
Metals are malleable, ductile, good conductor of heat and electricity, lustrous, hard, sonorous and have high density and high melting and boiling points. Non-metals are brittle, non-ductile, bad conductor of heat and electricity, non-lustrous, soft, non-sonorous and have low density and low melting and boiling points.
Metals are electro positive. Non-metals are electronegative.
Metals react with water to form metal oxide and H2 gas Non-metals do not react with water as they can not give electrons to reduce to hydrogen ions of water to H2 gas.
Metals reacts with dilute acids by displacing hydrogen Non-metals do not reacts with dilute acids as they have no electrons to supply to hydrogen ion.
Reaction of metals with chlorine forms metal chloride (electrovalent compounds) Non-metals reacts with chlorine to form covalent chloride.

24. Arrangement of metals in order of decreasing reactivity is called reactivity series. Metals above hydrogen can displace hydrogen and below can not do so.

K Na Ca Mg Al Zn Fe Sn Pb (H) Cu Hg Ag Au
More reactive metal than hydrogen less reactive metal than hydrogen

11. More reactive metals displaces less reactive metal from its salt solution:-

Cu SO4 + Zn (S)-> SnSO4 + Cu (S)
(Aq)                      (Aq)

11. More reactive metals displaces less reactive metals from its oxide:-

CuO + Mg --> MgO + Cu

11. Metals are reducing agents because they can give electrons for reduction and non-metals are oxidizing agents because they can accept electrons.

11. Minerals are materials in which metals and their compounds are found in the earth. Those minerals which can be used to isolate the metals are called ores.

Oxide ore: (Bauxite) Al2O3. 2H2O
Carbonate ore: (Calamine) ZnCO3, (Limestone) : CaCO3
Sulphide ore: (Zincblend) ZnS, (Cinnabar) HgS, (Copperglance) Cu2S
Halide ore : (Rocksalt) NaCl, (Flourospar) CaF2

11. Metallurgy includes the processes involved in extraction of metals from their ore:-

() Concentration of ore:- Purification by removing earthly particles, sand
(i) Hydraulic washing (ores of tin and lead)
(ii) Frothfloatation process (sulphide ore)
(iii) Magnetic separation (iron and manganese)
(iv) Chemical separation (Aluminium ore)

(a) Conversion of concentrated ore into metal oxide:-

(i) Calcination : Ore is heated strongly in absence of air
(Carbonate ore)
(ii) Roasting : Ore is strongly heated in presence of air
(Sulphide ore)

(b) Metal oxide is reduced to metal:-

(i) By heating alone: 2HgS + 3O2 --> 2HgO + 2SO2
2HgO + O2.

(ii) Chemical reduction using carbon and aluminum done for zinc, iron, copper.

ZnO + C --> Zn + CO
Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2
3MnO2 + 4Al --> 3Mn + Al2O3 (Hermite process)

iii) Reduction by electrolysis : Done in case of Al, Na, K, Mg and Ca.
Molten salt is electrolyzed and metals are produced at negative electrodes.

Al3+ + 3e- -----Electrolytic reduction---->   Al
                       From molten Al2O3


c) Refining of impure metals:-

(i) Liquation method : Done for metals with low melting points (Sn, Pb)
(ii) Distillastion method : Done for Mercury
(iii) Oxidation method : Done for iron (oxygen oxidises the
impurities leaving the metal)
(iv) Electrolytic refining : Done for copper and zinc.

23. Silicon is placed in group IV of the periodic table and can be obtained from silicon di oxide (SiO2). Solution of sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) i.e. water glass is used to prepare a silica garden as crystal of coloured salts grow in it.

24. Phosphorous is placed in group V of periodic table and can be prepared from rock phosphate i.e. Ca3(PO4). Phosphorous exists in two physical states(Allotropes) white phosphorous and red phosphorous.

25. Sulphur is placed in group VI of the periodic table and exists in both free and combine state. It is extracted from underground by Frasch process.

26. Carbon is placed in group IV of the periodic table. It had the property of self combination to form long chains(Catenation). Carbon exists in two physical form diamond and graphite. Diamond is a very hard substance because carbon atoms are bonded to one another by a network of covalent bonds. It is not a good conductor of heat and electricity. In graphite the carbon atoms are joined to three other carbon atoms to form a flat hexagonal frame. The layer of carbon atoms are held by vender wall force. Due to this sheet structure graphite is a soft substance and because of one free carbon atom it is good conductor of heat and electricity.

27. The compounds made out of carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. A hydrocarbon with a single bond is called a saturated hydrocarbon and a compound with double and triple bond is called an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Saturated hydrocarbon:   Alkanes Cn H2n+2 (n is the number of carbon atom in one molecule)
Unsasturated hydrocarbon :   Alkenes CnH2n (compound has double bond)Alkynes CnH2n-2 (compound has triple bond)

28. Hydrocarbon are named according to the rules set by IUPAC>

(a) The longset chain of carbon atoms in the compound is the parent chain. If it is an alkane the suffix is (ane) if it has a double bond the suffix is (ene) if it has a triple bond the suffix is (yne).

(b) The groups present as a side chain are considered as substitutes

(c) The carbon atoms are numbered in such a way that alkyl group gets the lowest possible number and the position of the substitute group is indicated by writing the number of the carbon atom to which it is attached.

(d) The name of the compound is obtained by writing the position and name of the alkyl group before the name of the parent hydrocarbon.
