Types Of Reaction, Metals And Their Compounds Flashcards
(18 cards)
State the chemical formula of rust
4fe+ 3o2 ~ 2fe2o3
State the 2 chemicals other than iron required for rusting
Oxygen and water
State the chemical test for oxygen
Relight glowing splint
What percentage of he air is oxygen
21%
What 3 raw materials are added to the blast furnace
Hematite (iron oxide)
Limestone (calcium carbonate)
Coke (carbon)
How is iron extracted from the blast furnace
Oxygen reacts with coke to give carbon dioxide (this is the heat energy)
Carbon dioxide reacts with more coke to produce carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide reduces the iron oxide in the ore to give molten iron
The limestone reacts with the sand to produce slag(calcium silicate)
Equations in blast furnace
Oxygen reacts with coke to form carbon dioxide
C+ O2 - CO2
Limestone breaks down to form carbon dioxide
CaCO3 - CO2 + CaO
Carbon dioxide reacts with coke.To get carbon monoxide
CO2+C - 2CO
carbon monoxide reduces iron
3CO+ Fe2O3- 2Fe+ 3CO2
Limestone reacts with sand to form slag
CaO+ SiO2 - CaSiO3
What is slag used for
To build roads
What is the main impurity round in iron ores
Sand (silicon dioxide)
What is the type of bonding in metals
Metallic bonding
What does malleable mean
A metal can be hammered into shapes
What does ductile mean
It can be stretched and drawn out into wires
What type of reaction is this
Cuo+Mg~ MgO +Cu
Displacement
What are properties of metals
High boiling point Malleable Ductile Shiny Strong Magnetic Conductor Sonorous High melting point Dense Solid
Why are metals malleable and ductile
The metal ions can easily slide over eachother
Why are metals a good conductor of heat and electricity
They have delocalised,free elections which can move, so carry electrical current or heat
What can you say about the strength of metallic bonds
Metallic bonds are strong so metals can maintain a regular structure and usually have high melting and boiling points
Describe the structure and bonding in a metal
Metals from structures In which electrons in the other shells of the metal atoms are free to move, the metallic bond is the force of attraction between theses free electrons and metal ions
