Q

Charlotte adds samples of potassium, aluminium and lead into water at room temperature state the observations and conclusions

A

Potassium- moves across the surface, catches fire- reacts violently

Magnesium-a few bubbles form on the surface-reacts slowly

Her conclusion that lead does not react with water is incorrect, a reaction is taking place but so slowly that it is difficult to see. The reaction is slow as lead is very unreactive in cold water, to speed up the reaction charlotte could use hot water or steam

Q

Aluminium is shown in the reactivity series to be more reactive that zinc. However, zinc reacts with water more quickly than aluminium. Why?

A

Aluminium has a coating of aluminium oxide on its surface of which prevents it from reacting as quickly

50
Q

Methods used to prevent iron from rusting

Plastic coating

A

A plastic coating prevents air and moisture reaching the iron.

Q

Methods used to prevent iron from rusting galvanising

A

Galvanising is when iron objects are coated with a more reactive metal such as zinc or chromium.

Q

Methods used to prevent iron from rusting

Sacrificial protection

A

Sacrifcial protection: attaching zinc bars to ships – the water will react with the zinc before it reacts with the iron, because zinc is more reactive
