what is effervescence

A

fizzing

17
Q

as you (descend or ascend) group 1 the metals become more reactive

A

descend

18
Q

the most unreactive metal is …

A

gold

19
Q

what happens during a displacemnt reaction

A

the more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal from a solution of metal ions

copper
mercury
silver

react with what

A

32
Q

in electrosis the metals always get

A

reduced

33
Q

in a molten or aqueous solution the the ions are

A

free to move

34
Q

why is a dc current used in electrosis

A

it flows in one direction ( so the ions and atoms are only drawn to one either positive or negative carbon rod)
