1
Q
What is the order of the reactivity series?
A
2
Q
How do metals react with acids?
A
Acid+ Metal —> salt + hydrogen
3
Q
How do metals react with water?
A
Metal + Water —> metal hydroxide + hydrogen
4
Q
How can you investigate reactivity by the way metals react with acids?
A
•the speed of the reaction is indicated by the rate at which bubble of hydrogen are given off,the more reactive the metal the more vigorous the reaction would be e.g. potassium would react violently
•you can also measure the temperature change of a reaction over a set period of time . If you use the same, mass and surface area each time, the more reactive the metal and the greater the temperature change should be
