what is the reactivity series
league table for metals the more reactive metals are near the top of the table with the least reactive near the bottom
reactions of metal with water
metals when reacted with water produce a metal hydroxide and hydrogen the more reactive a metal the faster the reaction
reactioon of acids equation
acid+metal=salt+hydrogen
what happens when an acid reacts with an alkali
neutralisation takes place salt and water produced
reaction with base acid
acid+_metal oxide=salt+water
reactions with carbonate
acid+carbonate=salt+water+carbon dioxide
PH scale
in aqueous solutions acids produce H+ ions and alkalis produc OH- ions. neutral solutions are PH7 and neither acid or alkali
making soluble salts
- make a saturated solution by stiring copper oxide into sulfuric acid until no more dissolve
- filter the solution to remove excess copper oxide solid
- half fil a beaker with water and set this over a bunsen burner to heat the water place evaporating dish on top of the beaker
- add some of the solution to the evaporating basin and heat until crystals form
- once cooled pour the remaining liquid into a crystalising dish and leave to cool for one hour
- remove crystals with a spatula and pat dry between paper towel
process of electrolosis
is the splittingof an ionic substance using electricity
using electrolosis to extract metals
metals are extracted by electrolosis if the metal in question reacts with carbon or if to reactive to be extracted by reduction with carbon during the extraction process large quantitys of energy are used to melt the compound
electrolosis lead bromine
is an ionic substance when acid not able to conduct electrically when molten or in solution the ions are free to move and cary a charge
posotive lead ions
are attractedtoard the negative cathode at the same time the negative bromine ions are atractid to the positive anode
lead ions
attracted toards the negative electrode where the lead ions reacg cathode each ion gains two electrons becomes a neutral atom lead ions have been reduced
bromine ions
attracted to the posotive electrode when bromine ions reach anode each looses one electron to become a neutral atom two bromine atoms are then able to bond ootgether to form covalent molecule
electrolisis of aqueous solution
gases may have ben given of or metals deposited at the electrodes this is dependant on the reactivity of elements involved if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen then hydrogen will be produced at the negative cathode at the positive anode negatively charged ions loose electrons this is called oxidation you say ions have been oxidised
posotive elctrode callecd
anode
negative electrode called
cathode
