C5 - Chemical Reactions and Energy Charges Flashcards
Reactivity Series (Metals)
Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium "Carbon" Zinc Iron "Hydrogen" Copper
How Reactivity is determined (Metals)
- How easily they loose electrons
- Higher up the series, easier it is too loose electrons
Product when forming Metals with Acid
Salt + Hydrogen Gas
Product when forming Metals with Water
Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen
Redox Reaction
When electrons are transferred
Oxidation
Loss of electrons
Reduction
Gain of electrons
Displacement Reaction
- When a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from it’s substance
- Only metal Ions gain electrons and are reduced
- Metal atoms always loose electrons and are oxidised
How Metal separate from Oxides
- Using reduction with any metal more reactive in the reactivity series
Product when forming Acids and Metal Oxide
Salt + Water
Product when forming Acids and Metal Hydroxide
Salt + Water
Product when forming Acid with Metal Carbonate
Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
Ph
- Measures how Acidic/Alkaline a substance is
- 7 is neutral e.g. pure water
Indicators
- Shows colours based of Ph of a substance, or show presence of Sugar, Protein, Lipids
Testing for Hydrogen
- Burning match inserted into test tube with Hydrogen in it, Hydrogen burns rapidly causing a pop sound
Testing for Oxygen
- Burning match inserted into test tube with Oxygen in it, Oxygen will relight the match
Testing for Carbon Dioxide
- Use Limewater (Solution of Calcium Hydroxide) in a test tube and we insert Carbon Dioxide into it using a pipette, bubbles would occur and solution will turn grey when adding more Carbon Dioxide
Testing for Chlorine
- Put damp Litmus Paper into test tube of Chlorine, paper would turn white
