what happens if something gains oxygen
it is oxidised
1 of 21
what does the reactivity series show
how easily metals are oxidised
2 of 21
what is the most reactive metal
potassium
3 of 21
what is the least reactive metal
gold
4 of 21
how do you test reactivity
if you put fire over the metal in a dilute hydrochloric acid the louder the pop the more reactive a metal is
5 of 21
what metal react with water
potassium, sodium, lithium and calcium
6 of 21
what metal only react with steam
magnesium, zinc and iron
7 of 21
what does oxidation mean
loss of electrons
8 of 21
what does reduction mean
gain of electrons
9 of 21
Ca + ZnSO4 ->
CaSO4+ Zn
10 of 21
what happens when a more reactive metal reacts with a less reactive metal
the reactive metal will replace the less reactive metal in the salt
11 of 21
CuSO4 + Fe ->
FeSO4 +Cu
12 of 21
what do you use to exstact metals by reduction
carbon
13 of 21
why do you have the use electrolysis
because it is used for the metals that are more reactive than carbon
14 of 21
what is left at the anode in electrolysis
the non-metal
15 of 21
what is left at the cathode in electrolysis
the metal
16 of 21
why is electrolysis expensive
because you need a large amount of electricity
17 of 21
what are the biological ways of extracting metals
bioleaching and phytoextraction
18 of 21
why do you recycle
to conserve resources, energy and it protects the environment
19 of 21
what are the economic benefits of recycling
save money as extracting materials is expensive
20 of 21
what are the stages of the life cycle assessments
choice of material, manufacture, product use and disposal
21 of 21
