displacement of metals and reactivity series Flashcards
put these in order of reactivity copper magnesium zinc
magnesium zinc copper
copper sulphate + zinc ——->
zinc sulphate + copper
what is the reactivity order
potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, alminium, carbon, zinc, iron, tin, lead, hydrogen, copper, silver, gold, platinum
aluminium is a reactive metal found near the top of the reactivity series, name the method used in this extraction
displacement
gold and magnesium sulphate
will this react and why
no because magnesium is more reactive than gold
what does oxidized mean
when a metal chemically bonds with oxygen.
zinc is more reactive than copper
excess zinc powder was added to blue copper sulphate solution.
during the reaction the blue solution became colourless and a brown solid was formed
name the colourless solution
name the brown solution
zinc sulphate
copper
