Q

Describe an experiment which shows how metals reacting with acids can tell you information on the metal’s reactivity:

A
  • set up three boiling tubes and fill them with equal volumes of dilute HCl
  • place pieces of Mg, Zn, Fe in separate test tubes (keeping the size and shape the same)
  • the speed of the reaction is determined by the rate at which bubbles of H are produced
  • use the test for H to confirm it is H, the Mg should give off the loudest ‘squeaky pop’

Q

What is a displacement reaction/what happens?

A

In a displacement reaction, a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from a compound.
-they are redox reactions

Q

What type of reaction occurs when iron rusts?

A

oxidation reaction

  • iron gains oxygen to form iron (III) oxide
  • water then loosely bonds to it forming hydrated iron (III) oxide

Q

What are the barrier methods for the prevention of rust?

A
  • painting/coating with plastic - ideal for big or small structures (can be decorative too)
  • oiling/greasing - used when moving parts are involved (like bike chains)

Q

What are the sacrificial methods for the prevention of rust?

A

This involved putting a more reactive metal than iron with the iron

  • zinc is often used, it is oxidised instead of the iron
  • galvanising or big blocks of zinc blocks can be bolted to the iron (used on ship hulls, underground iron pipes)

A

All are soluble

57
Q

What do the rules of solubility tell you?

A
  • if a precipitate will form (insoluble salt)

- if it will just form in solution (soluble salt)

58
Q

How can you make a soluble salt?

A

use an acid and an insoluble base[or metal oxide or metal hydroxide] (both containing one of the ions you want)

59
Q

Describe a practical for how to make a soluble salt:

A
  • heat the acid in a water bath (speeds up the reaction) in a fume cupboard (removing acid fumes)
  • add the base to the acid, producing a soluble salt (add the base to excess, you’ll know this when the excess base sinks to the bottom of the flask)
  • filter off the excess solid (just have salt and water)
  • heat the solution gently using a Bunsen burner to remove some of the water, then allow to cool and the salt to crystallise
