C5-Chemical Changes Flashcards
Meals can be placed in order of reactivitty …
by their reactions with water and dilute acid .
How do Potassium , SOdiuma nd Lithiumr eact iwth ater
very rapidly produce alkaline solutions .
Dilute acids - dangerously explode
How does magnesium ,aluminumm , zinc iron react ith water
very slow reaction .
dilute acids - fizz give off h ydrogen gass and forms alt .
How do tin and lead react with water ?
slight reaction with steam ,
dilute acids - slowlh
hwo do copper silver gold reaction water
no reactio evenw ith steam .
dilute acids no reaction
How do you work out the reactivityof a metal .
-When metals react , they lose electons and form positive ions .
-the reacticity of it a metal depends on its ability to lose electrons and form a positive ion
Potassium has the biggest aiity to form a positive ion and copper with the least.
What is the displacement rule ?
-A more reactive element will push put (displace) a less reactive element from its compound .
Magnesium + Iron oxide —> Magnesium oxide6Iron .
What is oxidation ?
Loss of electrons .
What is Reduction ?
Gain of electrons .
Check sheet and see what elements have eben oxidised and what has gained electrons write half euqaions .
-zinc has een oxidised
-copper has .been reduced
Unreactive metals are …
Like Gold aare found in the Earths crust as the metal itself (as Gold is so unreactive ) .
Metls react with oxygen …
to form compounds
Iron Oxidde Copper Oxide .
What cna displace Iron ?
Any metlas more reactive than Iron can dispalce Iron
State the products
What is oxidised
and what is reduced in this reaction ?
Lithim +Magnesium Oxide—>
Lithium Oxide + Magneisum .
Lithiumm gains oxygen so is being oxidiised
and magensiumm is reduced
What are the three acids used a lot in Chemistry ?
Hydrochloric acis HCL
Sulfuric Acid H2S04
Nitric Acid H2O3
All acids contain hydrgoen .
How can hydrogen be displaced ?
All metals higher than hydrogen can dispalce hydorgena s it is more rective than hydrogen /
acid +metal
—> salt +hydrogen
What two Salts do u need to know ?
Hydrochloric Acid - salt formed - Choride CL-ions
Sulfuric accid -salt form-Sulfate S042- ions
What three metals can you be asked , reaction with hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid .
Magnesium , zinc and iron .
write the reactions with sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid for magnesium , zinc and iron .
Check sheet .
HCL HAS 2 INFRONT OF IT .
How does magnesium react with acid why ?
Rapdily , as magneisum is a lot more reactive than hydrogen . And easily forms magnesium 2+ ions .
How does Zinc react with hydrogen ?
Quie rapidly as Zinc is more reactive . ANd quiet easily forms Zn2+iions .
How does Iron rect with Hydrogen ?
Iron reacts filry slowlyw ith acid , as iron is onl slightly more reactive than hydrogen . IRON LESS EASILY FORMS 2+IONS .
What are acids ?
Acids produces HydrogeN ions (h+) in an aqueous solution .
based on acid defenition , how does hydrochloric acid split ?
HCL—> H+ + Cl-
