CHAPTER 5 Flashcards
what happens when something is oxidised
oxygen has been taken away
what happens when something is reduced
gains oxygen
what is a displacement reaction
when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from a salt
what is a metal ore
a rock containing a high concentration of a metal
equation for a metal and acid
metal + acid = salt + hydrogen
equation for a neutralisation reaction
acid + base = salt + water
what is a neutralisation reaction
acid + alkali
what do the sums of the charges on a salt add up to
0
equation for when an acid and alkali react
acid + alkali = salt + water
equation for acid + metal carbonate
acid + metal carbonate = salt + water + carbon dioxide
what are acids
substances that produce h+ ions when added to water
how do the most reactive metals react with dilute acid
explode
how do medium-high reactive metals react with water
react but slowly
how do medium-high metals react with dilute acid
fizz, give of hydrogen and produce a salt
how do medium-low metals react with water
slight reaction when heated
how do medium-low metals react with dilute acid
react only when warm
how do low metals react with water
no reaction
how do low reactive metals react with dilute acid
no reaction
what is an ionic equation
when the atoms or particles that don’t change aren’t included
what is carbon used for
extracting metals from their oxides
