• nitrate salts

Question 23

Why does magnesium react rapidly with acid?

Answer 23

Because its more reactive than hydrogen, which means it can easily displace hydrogen from acids.

Question 24

Which type of reaction is the loss of electrons?

Answer 24

Oxidation

Question 25

What type of reaction is the gain of electrons?

Answer 25

Reduction

Question 26

Why can we use Carbon to extract Iron from Iron Oxide?

Answer 26

Carbon is more reactive than iron so it displaces it in its compound.
