No description yet. This curated deck is ready for daily study.
Card preview (24)
extracting metal depends on
-easiness of extraction from ore -amount of metal ore contains -changing demands for metal
metal + water observations of recation
-flame -fizz -hydrogen gas -hydroxide made
how to check for hydrogen
lighted splint will make a pop sound if h2 is present
Reactivity series above carbon
-K -Na -calcium -mg -aluminium
Reactivity series above hydrogen
-zn -fe -tin -pb
Reactivity series below hydrogen
-cu -silver -gold -platinum
Reduction of oxide by carbon
• c will displace less reactive metal • forming metal and co2 -chemical reduction occurs -carbon = reducing agent
reducing agent
removes oxygen by being oxidised
Reduction of oxide by hydrogen
-more costly than C -less common to use -forms water and metal
when is hydrogen used as a reducing agent
-when carbon is likely to react with a metal to form a compound -instead of the O2
electrolysis
used to extract metals more reactive than carbon
salt
compound formed when H2 in an acid is wholly/partially replaced by metal ions
Formula for metal + acid
metal + acid —> salt + hydrogen
all acids are
aqueous
how can a sample of salt be obtained after a reaction
crystallisation
metal + acid = redox reaction
-metal = loses electrons -hydrogen = gains electrons
bases
compounds that neutralise acids
alkalis
soluble bases
eg of bases
metal oxides
Formula for neutralisation
acid + base —> salt + water
What ions do acids produce
-hydrogen ions -H+
What ions do alkalis produce
-hydroxide ions -OH-
H+ and OH- react to produce
water
Formula for acid + ammonia solution
acid + ammonia solution —> ammonium salt + water
