Metals and oxygen/water, Displacement reactions Flashcards
Metal + acid makes
Salt + hydrogen
Metal + water gives you
- metal hydroxide + hydrogen, if the metal is very reactive
- metal oxide + hydrogen, if it is not very reactive
Metal + oxygen
Metal oxide
Test for hydrogen
- a lighted splint makes a squeaky pop sound
Test for oxygen
- a glowing splint will re ignite
Magnesium + oxygen makes
Magnesium oxide
State symbol for solid
S
State symbol for gas
G
State symbol for liquid
L
Aq is which state symbol and definition
- aqueous
- substance that is dissolved in water
Patterns with reactivity in metals with acids and oxygen
- vigorous reaction in dilute acids tend to make vigorous reactions with oxygen as well
- metals that do not react in dilute acid, do not react with oxygen
Very reactive metals in group 1 and 2 react with water how
- vigorously
- make metals hydroxide & hydrogen
Why do some metal give oxide and hydrogen when reacting with water
-if they are less reactive then they produce a metal oxide + hydrogen
Why do some metal have to react with steam
-as they are less reactive the steam gets the chemical reaction going
Displacement reaction
-where a more reactive metal will displace (push out) a less reactive metal from its compound
