Chemical Changes Flashcards
Oxidation
When a substance gains oxygen
Reduction
When a substance loses oxygen
Displacement reaction
Where a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from a compund
How are unreactive metals found in earth
In their natural state
Equation for a reaction between metals and acids
Metal + acid –> salt + hydrogen
Equation for a neutralisation reaction
Base + acid –> salt + water
Equation for reaction between metal carbonate and acid
Metal carbonate + acid –> salt + water + carbon dioxide
Equation for reaction between metal oxides and and acid
Metal oxide + acid–> a salt + water
Redox reaction
A reaction where both oxidation and reduction occurs
What methods can mixtures be separated
Filtration, crystallisation, simple distillation, fractional distillation, chromatography
