Q

acid + metal =

A

26
Q

metal + water =

A

27
Q

what is oxidation in terms of oxygen

A

gain of oxygen

28
Q

what is reduction in terms of oxygen

A

loss of oxygen

29
Q

what metals can be extracted by reduction using carbon

A

metals below carbon in the reactivity series

30
Q

how are metals extracted from their ores by reduction with carbon

A

the ore is reduced as oxygen is removed from it, and carbon gains oxygen so is oxidised

31
Q

what metals can be extracted by using electrolysis

A

metals higher than carbon in the reactivity series

32
Q

what is oxidation in terms of electrons

A

oxidation is the loss of electrons

33
Q

what is reduction in terms of electrons

A

reduction is gain of electrons

34
Q

mnemonic for oxidation and reduction in terms of electrons

A

OILRIG

OXIDATION IS LOSS REDUCTION IS GAIN

35
Q

What is a displacement reaction

A

a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound

36
Q

where is lithium on the periodic table

A

underneath sodium

37
Q

what is an electrolyte

A

is a liquid or solution that can conduct electricity

38
Q

what are the two electrodes

A

anode and cathode

39
Q

where do the positive ions in an electrolyte move to? and what happens there

A

the cathode where they are reduced

40
Q

where do the negative ions in an electrolyte move to? and what happens there

A

the anode where they are oxidised

41
Q

in electrolysis of aqueous solutions what happens at the anode

A

if halide ions are present a halogen will be formed

if no halide ions are present oxygen will be formed

42
Q

in electrolysis of aqueous solutions what happens at the cathode

A

if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen ,, hydrogen will form
if the metal is less reactive than hydrogen,, the metal will form

43
Q

at the cathode does it lose or gain electrons?

A

gain electrons

44
Q

at the anode does it lose or gain electrons?

A

lose electrons

45
Q

in half equations for redox reactions if the electrons are on the right hand side it is

A

oxidation

46
Q

in half equations for redox reactions if the electrons are on the left hand side it is

A

reduction

47
Q

at the anode is it oxidation or reduction

A

oxidation

48
Q

at the cathode is it oxidation or reduction

A

reduction

49
Q

Sodium is one of the most abundant metals on Earth. Explain, as fully as you can, why sodium was not extracted until 1807.

A

sodium is very reactive

have to use electrolysis to remove it,

50
Q

explain why an acid can be described as both strong and dilute

A

can be called strong acid because it is completlely ionised but can be called dilute because small amount of acid per unit volume
