C5(Chemical Changes) Flashcards
What is the metal reactivity series
What is the gas given off when metals react with water or dilute acids
Hydrogen
What is a displacement reaction
A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its aqueous solution
What is an example of a displacement reaction
What is oxidation
The loss of electrons and gain of oxygen
What is reduction
Gain of electrons and loss of oxygen
What is an ionic equation
What is example of a half equation for oxidation and reduction
How can metals be extracted
-The oxides of metals below carbon in the series can be reduced by carbon to give the metal element
-Metals more reactive than carbon are extracted by electrolysis
What is the word equation to make a salt
What acids provide the negative ions present in all salts
What happens when an acid reacts with a base
A neutralisation reaction occurs
What is the word equation to make a salt using a base
What is an example of how to work out the sum of the charges
What is the word equation to make a salt using an alkali
