C5- Chemical Changes Flashcards
Whats is the nemonic to remember the reactivity with series?
Please stop calling me a cute zebra tom likes her calling sam giant
How do Potassium, sodium, lithium and calcium react with water?
They fizz and give off hydrogen gas leaving a solution of a metal hydroxide
How do potassium, sodium and lithium react with dilute acid?
Explode
How do magnesium aluminium and zinc react with water?
They have a very slow reaction
How do calcium magnesium aluminium and zinc react with dilute acid?
Fizz, giving off hydrogen gas and form a salt
How do tin and lead react with water?
They slight react with steam
How do tin and lead react with dilute acid?
They react slowly with warm acid
Oxidation
The loss of electrons
Reduction
The gain of electrons
How do metals displace each other?
A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its aqueous solution
What is an ionic equation?
It shows only the atoms and ions (with charges) that change in the reaction
Why are most metals found in the earth as compounds?
Because many metals can react with other elements or oxygen ti form compounds or oxides
Whats a metal ore?
It contains enough of the metal to make it economic to extract the metal (the ores are mined)
How are metals above carbon in the reactivity series extracted?
By electrolysis
How are metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series extracted?
Reduced from its ore by heating with carbon
How is copper extracted from its ore?
Reduced from its ore by reacting with hydrogen
