Magnesium+hydrochloric acid

A

Zinc+nitric acid —> zinc nitrate +hydrogen

Iron+sulphuric acid—> iron sulfate + hydrogen

Magnesium+hydrochloric acid—> magnesium chloride + hydrogen

21
Q

More effervessing= more reactive

A
22
Q

What is the displacement reaction equation?

A

More reactive metal+ less reactive metal compound —>more reactive metal compound+less reactive metal

23
Q

What is a displacement reaction?

A

When a more reactive metal takes the place of the less reactive metal in a compound .

24
Q

What is the equation for these displacement reactions?:
Zinc+copper sulfate
Magnesium+ zinc sulfate
Magnesium + iron sulfate

A

Zinc+copper sulfate —> zinc sulfate+ copper

Magnesium+ zinc sulfate—> magnesium sulfate+ zinc

Magnesium + iron sulfate—>magnesium sulfate+ iron

25
Q

What are the reagents for the thermite reaction?

A

Aluminium and iron oxide

26
Q

What does magnesium act as in the thermite reaction?

A

Magnesium acts like as a fuse with the igniter mixture provide the energy needs for the reaction to take place

27
Q

How does thermite reaction help to weld railways tracks?

A

When the iron is produced it is molten du pe to the high reaction temperature though it is dangerous and expensive

28
Q

What is an example of displacement reaction?

A

Thermite reaction

29
Q

What does it mean if a metal is over hydrogen in the reactivity series?

A

That metal can react with acids

30
Q

What does it mean if a metal is over carbon on the reactivity series?

A

That metal can react with water

31
Q

What is oxidation?

A

If a substance has gained oxygen it has been oxidised

32
Q

What is reduction?

A

If a substance has lost oxygen it has been reduced

33
Q

Complete the equations then say whichsubstances have been oxidised?
Sodium+silver oxide
Lead+ gold oxide

A

Sodium+ silver oxide —> sodium oxide +silver
= sodium

Lead +gold oxide—> lead oxide+gold
=lead

34
Q

What is needed to rust or corrode?

A

Needs oxygen + water

35
Q

When any metal corrodes it is called ……… and when iron corrodes it is called……

A

Corroding and rust

36
Q

Word equation for rust?

A

Iron+ oxygen —> hydrated iron oxide

37
Q

What is the barrier method?

A

Putting a barrier between the iron and the air e.g painting or oiling , rubber coating

38
Q

What is the sacrificial protection method?

A

Attaching big blocks of metal more reactive than iron or the metal, this metal corrodes in preference

39
Q

What is the galvanising method?

A

Invokes covering metal in another metal more reactive

40
Q

What is the best anti rusting method?

A

Galvanising as it is bothe sacrificial method and a barrier method

41
Q

What do matters have to be higher than in the reactivity series to react with acids?

A

Hydrogen
