Q

Nature of aluminium and zinc oxides

A

Amphoteric

17
Q

What is amphoteric oxides?

A

Oxides that behaves both acidic and basic

18
Q

What happens when metal oxides react with acid or base

A

Salt and water is produced
Al203+HCL = Alcl3+ h20
Al203+NAOH = NaAl203+h2o

19
Q

At ordinary temp surfaces of which all metals are covered with thin oxide layer

A

Mg , Al,Zn,lead

20
Q

What does the thin oxide layer do?

A

Prevent further oxidation

21
Q

Which metal does not react with oxygen at high temp

A

Silver and gold

22
Q

What is anodizing

A

It is a process of forming thick oxide layer of aluminum. The layer prevents further corrosion

23
Q

During anodizing, what is the anode and what is it electrolyze with?where is the oxygen gas evolved?

A

Aluminum is the anode
Dilute sulphuric acid
Oxygen gas is evolved at the anode

24
Q

Metals react with water to produce what?

A

Metal oxide and hydrogen

25
Q

Metal oxides that dissolve in water further dissolve to produce what?

A

Metal hydroxide

26
Q

Which metals react violently with cold water

A

Sodium and potassium

27
Q

Why does calcium starts floating when reacts with water

A

The bubbles of h2 stick to the surface and it starts floating

28
Q

Which metal react with hot water

29
Q

Does magnesium float

A

Yes because of h2 bubbles

30
Q

Which all metals do not react with water but reacts with steam

A

Aluminum, iron and zinc

31
Q

Which metal does not react with water

A

Gold , silver , lead , copper
