C3 Metals And Acids Flashcards
When matals react with hydrochloride acid what are the products
Hydrogen and a chloride salt
eg… zinc chloride + hydrogen
How do you decribe a reaction
On how vigorous it was
How do other metal react with acids
Metals have patterns in chemical properties. But some metal react more vigorously with acids compared to others
How do you test for hydrogen
Collect the gas from the reaction
Light a splint
Hold the splint over the test tube that contains the gas
Listen, if the aplint goes out with a squeakz pop, the gas is hydrogen
Why does the squeaky pop happen
Hydrogen and oxygen react explosively - the product is water
Do all metals react with dilute acids
Some metals dont - gold silver or copper in hydrochloric acid
What afe state symbols
They give the state of a substance in a chemical equation
What does (s) mean
Solid
What does (l) mean
Liquid
What does (g) mean
Gas
What does (aq) mean
Dissolved in water
Where can you find hydrochloric acid natually
In animals and humans stomachs
What happenss when magnesium reacts with oxyegn
It burns vigorously
What is the product when a metal and oxygen react
The metal oxide
Eg:
Zinc oxide (2ZnO)
How do other metals reacts with oxygen
When zinc reacts you see bright white sparks in the burnsern falme same woth iron
Copper doesnt burn it forms black copper oxide on its surface
Gold is unreactive
