Displacement reactions Flashcards
Definition of a displacement reactions?
- when a more reactive element displaces, or pushes out, a less reactive element from a compound
Chlorine will displace.……. and ……. from a solution of salt solution as it is ……. reactive.
Bromine, Iodine, More
Bromine will displace …….. from a salt solution as it is ……… reactive , but will not displace ……. as bromine is ……reactive than it.
Iodine, More, Chlorine, Less
lodine cannot displace ..…… Or…….. as it is …… reactive than both of them.
Chlorine, Bromine, Less
What is the symbol equation for Chlorine and Potassium Bromide —> Potassium Chloride + Bromine
Cl2 + 2KBr —> 2KCl + Br2
How to do a Ionic Equation
- remove the ‘spectator ions’ i.e anything that doesn’t change the reaction
- charge of element without ‘spectator ion’
- balance all charges
Redox definition
Oxidation and reduction occurring at the same time in a reaction
Oxidation:
When a substance gains oxygen or LOSES ELECTRONS
Reduction:
When a substance loses oxygen or GAINS ELECTRONS
OIL RIG :
Oxidation LOSES e-
Reduction GAINS e-
Br2 + 2I- —> 2Br- + I2
What is the oxidised and reduced
O: Iodine
R: Bromine
What is a oxidising agent?
Oxidising agent accepts electrons and gets reduced
What is a reducing agent?
Reducing agent donates electrons and gets oxidised
