#1
Front (Question)

Please Potassium Send Sodium Lions Lithium Cats Calcium Monkeys Magnesium And Aluminium Cute carbon Zebras Zinc Into Iron Terrifically Tin Lovely Lead Hot Hydrogen Countries Copper Signed Silver General Gold Penguin Platinum

#2
Front (Question)

Which metals react with cold water?

Back (Answer)

Calcium and up

#3
Front (Question)

Which metals react with steam

Back (Answer)

Metals higher than hydrogen

#4
Front (Question)

What metals react with dilute acid?

Back (Answer)

Metals higher than hydrogen

#5
Front (Question)

How do metals react with water?

Back (Answer)

Water(l) + metal -> metal hydroxide + hydrogen (effervescence)

#6
Front (Question)

How do metals react with dilute hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid?

Back (Answer)

metal + acid -> salt + hydrogen

#7
Front (Question)

How do metals react with steam?

Back (Answer)

metal + water(g) -> metal oxide + hydrogen (effervescence)

#8
Front (Question)

What are redox reactions?

Back (Answer)

Reactions where oxidisation and reduction occur simultaneously.

#9
Front (Question)

Acronym for gain and loss of electrons

Back (Answer)

Oxidisation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain (of electrons)

#10
Front (Question)

What are reducing agents?

Back (Answer)

Reducing agents causes something else to be reduced (by removing its oxygen) and gets oxidised itself. The opposite of this would be an oxidising agent.

#11
Front (Question)

Under what conditions does iron rust?

Back (Answer)

When in contact with water and oxygen. Rusted iron is Fe(2)O(3).xH(2)O

#12
Front (Question)

What are the methods of preventing iron rusting?

Back (Answer)

Barrier method Galvanising Sacrificial protection

#13
Front (Question)

What is Barrier method?

Back (Answer)

Barrier method is coating Iron with a layer of something else to stop oxygen/water to touch iron. e.g. paint, oil, grease

#14
Front (Question)

What is galvanising?

Back (Answer)

Galvanising is coating Iron with a more reactive metal. This will both sacrificial protect and coat. This is usually done with zinc

#15
Front (Question)

What is sacrificial protection?

Back (Answer)

This is blocks of a more reactive metal than iron, which are scattered around which protects iron as water and oxygen will react in preference with this metal. This is usually zinc.

#16
Front (Question)

What colour is rust

Back (Answer)

red/brown

#17
Front (Question)

What is the effect of salt water on rusting?

Back (Answer)

Salt water encourages the transfer of electrons which increases the rate of rusting
