?
Where do metals come from? Where are they found?
The earths crust. A metal ore is found inside rocks
1 of 22
What are the most common metal ores?
Oxides and sulfides
2 of 22
How were sulfided created?
From the sulfer in volcanic eruptions
3 of 22
How were oxides created
From photosynthesis and a large amount of oxygen was released into the earths atmosphere
4 of 22
What is the issue with metal ores?
They are finite and non-renewable
5 of 22
Where are most metals from today?
Recycling scrap metals
6 of 22
What do the most reactive metals extracted by?
Electrolysis
7 of 22
What are the middle reactants extracted by?
Reduction with carbon or carbon monoxide
8 of 22
What are the least reactive extracted by?
Native metals or various chemical reactions
9 of 22
Reduction
Removing oxygen
10 of 22
Oxidation
Gaining oxygen
11 of 22
Electrolysis
Using electricity to extract metal
12 of 22
What is a displacement reaction?
When a metal takes the place/displaces a less reactive metal in a metal salt solution
13 of 22
What is displacement of oxidation/reduction?
The more reactive metal will take the oxygen off the least reactive metal
14 of 22
Raw materials in industrial extraction of iron
Iron ore, coke, limestone, hot air
15 of 22
Name the 4 main stage so far extraction
Combustion, reduction, decomposition, neutralisation
16 of 22
What is the process of electrolysis?
Where ionic substances are broken down into simpler substances using electricity. During which gases and metals may form at the electrodes.
17 of 22
For electrolysis to work what must happen?
The ions must be free to move
18 of 22
What is a positive electron called?
Anode
19 of 22
What is a negatively charged electron called?
Cathode
20 of 22
What do anodes attract?
Negatively charged non-metals ions.They then lose an electron which is oxidation
21 of 22
What do cathodes attract?
Positively charged non-metals ions. They gain an outer electron this is redution
