Q

Why are strong acids more reactive?

A

concentration of protons are higher so the r of r is faster

Q

How to measure the concentration of hydrogen ions?

A

For every decreases of 1 on the pH scale the concentration increases by a factor of 10.

Q

How are positive ions formed?

A

When metals react with water or an acid (So the further a metal is in the reactivity series the more easily it reacts with a water or acid

Magnesium
Carbon
Zinc
iron
Hydrogen
Copper
17
Q

How do you find the speed of the reaction?

A

The rate at which bubbles are given off

18
Q

why do some metals react explosively?

A

very reactive

19
Q

What is produced when metals react with water?

A

metal hydroxide and hydrogen

20
Q

What is oxidation?

A

GAIN OF ELECTRONS (common metals react with oxygen)

21
Q

What is a reduction reaction?

A

LOSS OF ELECTRONS (separating a metal from its oxide)

22
Q

What metals have to be extracted using electrolysis?

A

Metals higher than carbon in the reactivity series because carbon can only take oxygen away from meals which are less reactive than itself

23
Q

What is REDOX?

A

reduction & oxidation happening at the same time.

24
Q

What is the displacement rule?

A

A MORE REACTIVE metal will displace a LESS REACTIVE metal from its compound.

25
Q

What type of ion always gains electrons and is reduced in displacement reactions?

A

A metal ion

26
Q

What do ionic equations concentrate on?

A

The substances that are oxidised or reduced
