Displacement Reactions Flashcards
1
Q
Thermite reaction
A
Aluminium and Iron Oxide = reagents (things that react to each other)
Explosion, lots of heat keeps iron molten
Aluminium + iron Oxide -> Iron + Aluminium Oxide
Aluminium displaces iron from iron oxide
Used to weld rails, so hot used to melt metal rails together
2
Q
Displacement reactions
A
More reactive metal can steal oxygen from metal oxide of less reactive metal
3
Q
Oxidation
A
Gains oxygen
4
Q
Reduction
A
Loses oxygen
5
Q
Magnesium + copper oxide ->
A
magnesium oxide + copper
6
Q
Zinc + lead oxide->
A
Zinc oxide + lead
7
Q
Copper + iron oxide->
A
No reaction line through arrow
8
Q
Iron + copper sulphate
A
-> copper + iron sulphate
9
Q
Zinc + magnesium Sulfate
A
-> no reaction
10
Q
Iron sulphate + magnesium
A
-> magnesium Sulfate + Iron
