Q

How do magnesium aluminium zinc and iron combine with water

A

Very slow reaction

Magnesium takes several days to collect enough gas to test with a lighted splint making a pop of hydrogen gas

NO reaction

17
Q

List 3 ways to tell a chemical reaction between magnesium and sulphuric acid

A

Fizz
Hydrogen gas given off tested by a pop of a lights splint
A Salt left behind

18
Q

Explain why aluminium can be used outdoors even though it is quite high in the reactivity series

A

It is protected by a layer of aluminium oxide so will not undergo reactions unless oxide layer is removed
