Q

What type of metals will react with oxygen

A

Almost all metals will react with oxygen except gold

Metal+ oxygen = metal oxide

Although more reactive metals will react more quickly

Q

How can you see how reactive metals are?

A

By seeing if they react :

With water , very reactive

With acid , fairly reactive

With oxygen , not very reactive

You can tell if bubbles are made (hydrogen)

Q

Example of displacement reaction

A

Calcium + aluminium oxide = calcium oxide + aluminium

This happens because calcium binds more strongly to the oxygen

Q

Shat are displacement reactions

A

redox reactions where one element is oxidised ( loses electrons and gains oxygen ) and another is reduced ( gains electrons and loses oxygen)

Q

How do you extract metals less reactive than carbon

A

Can be extracted from ores by reduction with carbon

Heat the ore with carbon and the carbon the displace the metal

This removes the oxygen from the metal

Q

How to extract metals more reactive than carbon

A

Electrolysis

  1. Electrolysis splits up ionic compounds
  2. A electrical current passes through
  3. Electrodes are charged (anodes and cathods)

4.electrolytes are attracted to electrodes

5.ions in the metal are oxidised

Q

Step by step phytoextraction

A

Same plants absorb metal compounds through their roots

Plants are planted in soil containing metal compounds

Plants are burned to ash and metal compounds is collected

Q

Step by step bacterial extraction

A

Some bacteria absorb metal compounds

Bacteria produces a solution called leachate which contain the metal compounds

Metal separated by using displacement with iron

Q

What is the reaction with oxidation and reactivity

A

The less reactive a metal is the less it oxidises since it needs to form a positive metal ion by losing electrons
(Loss of electrons = oxidation)

Q

What are the advantages of recycling metals instead of mining more?

A

Recycling uses less energy to metal and reform the old metal compared to extracted new metal

Mining ore is bad for the environment = noise pollution and dust

Recycling is more sustainable as ore is a finite rescource

17
Q

What is a reve

A
18
Q

What is a reversibel reaction?

A

Where in some chemical reactions products of a reaction can react to make the original reactants

19
Q

What is the haber process?

A

How ammonia is made = nitrogen + hydrogen = ammonia

20
Q

What is equilibrium?

A

Rate of forward reaction = rate of backwards reaction

Concentration of reacting substances stay the same

21
Q

What is dynamic equilibrium?

A

Where once the reaction reaches equilibrium they keep going

22
Q

How is ammonia made

A

Where nitrogen and hydrogen are combined using 200 atmospheres of pressure + 450 *Celsius + an iron catalyst

23
Q

What happens if the concentration of reactants are increased in the haber process?

A

More product is produced until equilibrium is reached again

24
Q

What happens if the concentration of product is increased in the haber process?

A

The amount of reactants increase until equilibrium is reached again

25
Q

What happens if temperature is increased in the haber process

A

Equilibrium moves towards the endothermic reaction = more product is produced
