Patterns Of Reactivity Flashcards
What happens if u add heat to copper
Piece of copper turns black and glowed slightly
What happens if u add heat to iron
Orange sparks glowed red
What happens if u add heat to magnesium
Bright white light and formed a white powder after
Why is lithium, sodium and potassium stored under oil
they can react with water and oxygen
Copper, magnesium and iron in order of reactivity
Magnesium>iron>copper
Magnesium + oxygen -
Magnesium oxide
Iron + oxygen -
Iron oxide
Copper + oxygen -
Copper oxide
Alkali metals reacting with water similarities
-react vigorously
-give off gas
-float
-metal disappears
-moves across surface
What safety precautions are taken when using these metals
Safety glasses
metals are stored under oil
Safety screen
What Hazard symbols are on each jar of metal
flammable- could catch fore easily
Corrosive- if the metal reacts with water forming an alkali , can also burn tissue
Hydroxides definition
The alkali solutions formed as the group 1 metals react with water
Calcium with water observation
Sinks and rises, bubbles of gas, vigorous reaction, calcium disappears
Magnesium with water observation
A few bubbles of gas, reacts slowly
Copper with water observation
doesn’t react
What two things are produced when metals react with water
Metal hydroxide + hydrogen
