Where is the air??
We can feel the air
atmosphere Layer of air = atmosphere Consist of many gases ( eg : nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, inert gas) Also contain dust, water vapour , microorganism AIR
atmosphere Layer of air = atmosphere Consist of many gases ( eg : nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, inert gas) Also contain dust, water vapour , microorganism AIR Helium Argon Neon Xenon krypton
7.1 COMPOSITION OF AIR Air is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and inert gas THE COMPOSITION OF AIR AVERAGE PERCENTAGE OF ITS COMPONENTS BY VOLUME Nitrogen 78 % Oxygen 21 % Carbon Dioxide 0.03 % Inert gases and others 0.97 %
Nitrogen is an inactive gas Oxygen makes up (one-fifth) of the air. Very important for respiration Carbon dioxide important for photosynthesis Air also contains water vapour , microorganism and dust
Nitrogen is an inactive gas Oxygen makes up (one-fifth) of the air. Very important for respiration Carbon dioxide important for photosynthesis Air also contains water vapour , microorganism and dust
EXPERIMENT: TO DETERMINE THE PERCENTAGE OF OXYGEN IN THE AIR 5 4 3 2 1 Water level increase to the level marked 1. It shows that composition of oxygen is 1/5 or 21% of the air.
Nitrogen is an inactive gas Oxygen makes up (one-fifth) of the air. Very important for respiration Carbon dioxide important for photosynthesis Air also contains water vapour , microorganism and dust
Prove that air contains WATER VAPOUR CHANGE COLOUR FROM BLUE TO PINK WHEN EXPOSED TO HUMIDITY GREATER THAT 2%
Prove that air contains DUST
Prove that air contains MICROORGANISM A B B
IS AIR A MIXTURE??? YES!! The components can be separated by a physical method (FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION)
Without air

WAYS TO PREVENT INTERFERENCES IN THE OXYGEN AND CARBON CYCLES
Air pollution = carbon dioxide INCREASE
Deforestation= oxygen DECREASE
CAUSE INTERFERENCES IN OXYGEN AND CARBON CYCLES
CONSEQUENCES OF THIS INTERFERENCE: Global Warming Greenhouse Effect
GLOBAL WARMING
GREENHOUSE EFFECT
WAYS TO PREVENT INTERFERENCES IN THE OXYGEN AND CARBON CYCLES
1. Prohibit illegal logging
2. Avoid using excessive pesticides
3. reforestation
excessive release of smoke from vehicles
5. Do not burn forests
7.2 COMBUSTION
conditions needed for combustion by removing one of the conditions needed, we can prevent combustion
Prove that fuel is needed for combustion Glass rod and stone will not burn while wood and candle will burn +
Prove that air (oxygen) is needed for combustion If we put a glass plate over the chimney , the flame finally goes off because the air is not available.
Prove that heat is needed for combustion in the presence of water, the ignition temperature of paper is not reached
Why do we use water to extinguish fire?
Why do we use water to extinguish fire? water is exceptionally good at absorbing heat BECAUSE
FIRE EXTINGUISHER Protective tool that is used to put out a fire or handle a small fire
Various substance used in the fire extinguisher
Material on fire: SOLID (wood, cloth, paper)
Material on fire: LIQUID (oil, varnish, paint)
Material on fire: GAS (propane, acetylene, methane)
Material on fire: METAL (potassium, sodium, calcium)
Technique to remove the conditions needed for combustion: COVERING (cut off the contact of fuel with air/oxygen)
Technique to remove the conditions needed for combustion: 2. COOLING (cooling the surface of burning materials)
Technique to remove the conditions needed for combustion: 3. REDUCING AMOUNT OF BURNING MATERIAL (separate/keep away the burning materials)
Safety measures to prevent the occurrence of fire
7.3 AIR POLLUTION Unwanted substances in the air that are harmful to living things and environment Common air pollutants are dust, carbon monoxide, lead, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), pesticides
CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION 1 . Health problem –asthma, lung cancer, headache, death
2. Building and infrastructures – Acid rain corrodes concrete/limestone buildings, speeds up iron rusting CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION
CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION 3. Plants and animals –Depletion/damage of food resources (water acidic, smoke decrease sunlight reaching to earth)
CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION 4 . Climate –haze, greenhouse effect, thinning of ozone layer and acid rain
WAYS TO PREVENT AND CONTROL AIR POLLUTION 1 . Law enforcement –fine smokers, fine person who conduct open burning, prohibit factories (away from housing area)
WAYS TO PREVENT AND CONTROL AIR POLLUTION 2 . Education – educate effect/way to prevent air pollution, organize campaign, encourage usage of public transport
WAYS TO PREVENT AND CONTROL AIR POLLUTION 3 . Sciece and technology – implement hybrid technology, choose HCFC refrigerator, install filter in smoke chimneys
CHECK YOUR ANSWER.. Summative practice 7
Nitrogen is an inactive gas Oxygen makes up (one-fifth) of the air. Very important for respiration Carbon dioxide important for photosynthesis Air also contains water vapour , microorganism and dust
Nitrogen Nitrogen cycle Helps in animal and plants growth Nitric acid and ammonia Produce nitric acid and ammonia Cooling agent
Temperature of earth will increase CONSEQUENCES OF THIS INTERFERENCE: Global Warming Greenhouse Effect
IS AIR A MIXTURE??? YES!! The components can be separated by a physical method (FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION)

oxygen Combustion of rocket engine Welding and steel cutting Preparation of various compound
green plants are the only living things that can be absorb and reduce carbon dioxide When a lot of trees are cut down, carbon dioxide which is released through respiration, combustion and decomposition will increase the percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
CONSEQUENCES OF THIS INTERFERENCE: Global Warming Greenhouse Effect
Combustion is when fuel react with oxygen chemically and produce heat and light energy
Safety measures to prevent the occurrence of fire Ensure electrical wirings are according to the right specifications
