A

No reaction

21
Q

What is usually produced when a metal reacts with an acid

A

Hydrogen

22
Q

Which metals should u not try put into acids

A

Potassium, sodium and lithium bc they are very reactive

23
Q

Aluminium and water observations

A

Reacts slowly with water

24
Q

Aluminium and dilute acid

A

Does react a little bit

25
Q

Why does aluminium resist corrosion

A

It forms a protective oxide layer on its surface and this protects the aluminium

26
Q

Copper strip to silver nitrate =

A

Silver crystals formed on the piece of copper and the colourless solution will turns blue/green colour
