Reactivity Of Metals Flashcards
Metals + oxygen
Produce metal oxides
Oxidation reaction
Reactivity of metal
Relates to its tendency to form positive ions
In order in reactivity series
Displacement
More reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal from a compound
Unreactive metals
Found in the earth as a metal
Reactive metals
Contained in an ore
Require chemical extraction
Metals less reactive than carbon can be extracted from their oxides by reduction with carbon
Reduction
Lose of oxygen
Gain of electrons
Oxidation
Loss of electrons
Gain of oxygen
Acids + metals
Salts + hydrogen
Neutralise
Acids + alkalis and bases
Water produced
Metal carbonates
Salts + water + carbon dioxide
Soluble salts
Made from acids reacting with solid insoluble substances
Solid added to acid until in excess when it can be filtered out
Salt solutions can be crystallised to produce solid salts
Acids
Produce H+ ions in aqueous solutions
Aqueous solutions of alkalis
OH- ions
pH scale
0= acide
7= neutral
14= alkaline
Universal indicator
Titration
Volumes of acid + alkali solutions measured
Can workout concentration of an unknown solution
