Topic 4 - Reactivity Series

Question 1

what are the very reactive metals on the reactivity series?

Answer 1

Potassium, Sodium, Lithium and Calcium

Question 2

what are the fairly reactive metals on the reactivity series?

Answer 2

Magnesium, Aluminium and Zinc

Question 3

what are the fairly reactive metals on the reactivity series?

Answer 3

Magnesium, Aluminium and Zinc

Question 4

what is the not at all reactive metal on the reactivity series?

Answer 4

Gold

Question 5

what will a more reactive metal do when reacting with a less reactive metal oxide?

Answer 5

the more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal from its oxide

Question 6

what type of reaction is a displacement reaction and why?

Answer 6

redox - metal is oxidised and displaced metal ion is reduced

Question 7

what are metal salts?

Answer 7

metal compounds like copper sulfate, zinc chloride and sodium chloride

Question 8

what happens if you put a more reactive metal into a solution of a less reactive metal salt?

Answer 8

the more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal, replacing it in the salt

Question 9

how does reactivity affect change in temprature?

Answer 9

more reactive metals will give a greater change in temprature
