Question 1

List the REACTIVITY SERIES

Answer 1

MOST REACTIVE
Potassium
Sodium
Lithium
Calcium
Magnesium
Aluminium
Zinc
Iron
Lead
(Hydrogen)
Copper
Silver
Gold
LEAST REACTIVE

Question 2

State the equation for when a metal reacts with an acid

Answer 2

Metal + acid -> salt + hydrogen

Question 3

State the main 3 acids that we know

Answer 3

Hydrochloric acid
Sulfuric Acid
Nitric Acid

Question 4

State the word equation for the following metals when they react with an acid:
Lithium and Sulphuric acid
Magnesium and hydrochloric acid
Zinc and nitric acid

Answer 4

Lithium + Sulphuric acid -> Lithium Sulphate + Hydrogen

Magnesium + Hydrochloric Acid -> Magnesium chloride + hydrogen

Zinc + Nitric acid -> Zinc Nitrate + hydrogen
