4reactivity Of Metals

Question 1

What’s the reactivity of the metal

Answer 1

How easily it forms positive ions

Question 2

What’s the reactivity series in order from most reactive to least and why are they in this order

Answer 2

Potassium sodium lithium calcium magnesium carbon zinc iron hydrogen copper

Placed based on reactions with acids and water and ability to form positive ions

Question 3

What are often included in the reactivity series even though they aren’t metals

Answer 3

Carbon and hydrogen

Question 4

How do use experimental results to work out the order of reactivity

Answer 4

Monitoring the rate of hydrogen produced when they react with acid. The more reactive the metal the faster the reaction will go/more bubbles produced.

Question 5

What does the reaction of metals we dilute acid produce

Answer 5

Salt and hydrogen

Question 6

What does the reaction of more reactive metals and water form

Answer 6

Metal hydroxide and hydrogen
