15/11/2018 Reactivity series
Reactions of metals with oxygen 15/11/2018 When a metal reacts with oxygen it will form a METAL OXIDE. This is what happens when a metal rusts. We can make this reaction happen quicker by burning the metal. METAL + OXYGEN METAL OXIDE Copy and complete the following reactions: Magnesium + oxygen Copper + oxygen Calcium + oxygen Iron + oxygen
Reactions of metals with water 15/11/2018 When a metal reacts with water hydrogen is always given off. The other product will be either a metal hydroxide or a metal oxide. METAL + WATER METAL OXIDE + HYDROGEN METAL + WATER METAL HYDROXIDE + HYDROGEN Copy and complete the following reactions: Sodium + water Potassium + water Calcium + water Iron + steam
Reactions of metals with acids 15/11/2018 When a metal reacts with an acid it gives off hydrogen (which can be “popped” using a lit splint). The other product is a salt. METAL + ACID SALT + HYDROGEN e.g. magnesium + hydrochloric acid magnesium chloride + hydrogen Copy and complete the following reactions: Calcium + hydrochloric acid Zinc + hydrochloric acid Iron + hydrochloric acid Lithium + sulphuric acid
Complete the following reactions: 15/11/2018 Lithium + water Lithium + hydrochloric acid Silver + oxygen Magnesium + sulphuric acid Potassium + oxygen Aluminium + oxygen Manganese + water Sodium + sulphuric acid Lithium + oxygen Nickel + hydrochloric acid Lithium hydroxide + hydrogen Lithium chloride + hydrogen Silver oxide Magnesium sulphate + hydrogen Potassium oxide Aluminium oxide Manganese oxide + hydrogen Sodium sulphate + hydrogen Lithium oxide Nickel chloride + hydrogen
