Q

What happens in a displacement reaction?

Q

Complete this displacement reaction:

Sodium Bromide + Chlorine -> ? + ?

A

Sodium Bromide + Chlorine -> Sodium Chloride + Bromine

Bromide ions are oxidised (electrons are lost)
2Br- ->Br2 + 2e-

Chlorine is reduced (electrons are gained)
Cl2 +2e- -> 2Cl-

Sodium remains unchanged as it is a spectator ion in this reaction.

(think jewellery)

A

Copper
Silver
Gold
Platinum

25
Q

Metal + Water =

A

Metal + Water -> Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen

26
Q

Metal + Dilute Acid =

A

Metal + Dilute Acid -> A Salt + Hydrogen

27
Q

Name 2 reasons why carbon is used to extract many metals.

A

Cheap
Abundant

28
Q

In what conditions does reducing a metal with carbon will extract the metal?

A

the metal has to be lower in the reactivity series than carbon.

29
Q

How is carbon used to extract metals?

A

in reduction, metal uses oxygen to form a pure metal, which is done by heating the metal oxide with the presence of carbon, usually coal.

30
Q

What is always formed when acids react with metals?

A

Hydrogen and a salt

31
Q

Magnesium + Hydrochloric Acid =

A

Magnesium + Hydrochloric Acid -> magnesium chloride + hydrogen

32
Q

Zinc + Sulfuric Acid =

A

Zinc + Sulfuric Acid -> Zinc Sulfate + Hydrogen

33
Q

What 2 reactions do redox reactions involve?

A

Oxidation and Reduction.

34
Q

Are spectator ions included in the ionic equation?

A

No.

35
Q

how are acids neutralised?

A

by reacting them with bases (an alkali is a based that dissolves by water)

36
Q

what do acid + metal carbonate make?

A

a salt + water + CO2

37
Q

hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate ->

A

-> calcium chloride + water + CO2

38
Q

Acid + metal oxide ->

A

-> a salt + water

39
Q

acid + hydroxide ->

A

-> a salt + water

40
Q

hydrochloric acid + magnesium oxide ->

A

Q

hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide ->

A

-> sodium chloride + water

42
Q

what are soluble salts?

A

salts that dissolve in water

43
Q

how do we produce soluble salts?

A

by reacting an acid and a solid insoluble substance (such as a pure metal, metal carbonates etc.)

44
Q

How are blue copper sulfate crystals formed?

A

By adding black copper oxide to sulfuric acid
