Some metals, like gold, don't seem to react with acids at all.
Chemistry - Chemical Reactions of Metals (AQA)
Metals react with oxygen, water and acids in different ways. By comparing these reactions, you can build the reactivity series and predict which metals will react most strongly.
1 .
What would you see if you added lithium to water?
An explosion
The metal fizzes and burns with a purple flame
The metal fizzes, forms a molten ball and moves around the surface of the water
The metal fizzes and moves around but doesn't melt
Although heat is given out, the lithium does not reach its melting point. You need to know what happens when you add group I metals to water off by heart for the exam
2 .
Which of the following metals is displaced from its ore by using carbon?
Iron
Sodium
Gold
Magnesium
Gold and iron are lower than carbon in the reactivity series but gold occurs native rather than as an ore
3 .
One way of producing copper would be to add which of the following metals to copper sulfate solution?
Platinum
Gold
Carbon
Iron
You would need to use a metal that is more reactive than copper. For the exam, you need to learn the reactivity series by heart
4 .
Why are ionic compounds formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal?
One or more electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal
One or more electrons are transferred from the non-metal to the metal
All of the electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal
They share a pair of electrons
The easier an electron can be removed from a metal, the more reactive it is
5 .
What would you see if you added potassium to water?
An explosion
The metal fizzes and burns with a purple flame.
The metal fizzes, forms a molten ball and moves around the surface of the water
The metal fizzes and moves around but doesn't melt
Potassium is the most reactive of the 3 group I metals that are allowed to be used in schools. The reaction gives out so much heat that the hydrogen gas given off during the reaction bursts into flame
6 .
Which of the following combinations of chemicals is likely to be the most exothermic (gives out the most energy) when mixed together?
Iron and aluminium oxide
Magnesium and aluminium oxide
Zinc and copper sulfate solution
Magnesium and silver nitrate solution
You are looking for the combination of metal and metal salt in solution that are the furthest apart in the reactivity series
7 .
What would be the salt produced in the reaction of iron and hydrochloric acid?
Iron hydrochloride
Iron chloride
Chloro iron
Iron chlorate
Hydrochloric acid produces salts called chlorides when it reacts with a metal
8 .
Which of the following would not be produced when lithium carbonate reacts with nitric acid?
Hydrogen
Water
Lithium nitrate
Carbon dioxide
Metal carbonates react with strong acids to form carbon dioxide, water and a salt
9 .
Which of the following reactions does not produce hydrogen gas?
Silver and citric acid
Zinc and hydrochloric acid
Magnesium and nitric acid
Iron filings and sulfuric acid
Silver is low in the reactivity series and citric acid is a weak acid
10 .
If you drop a piece of cleaned magnesium ribbon into a solution of silver nitrate, the magnesium becomes coated with a grey substance. What is the explanation for this?
Magnesium is more reactive than silver and displaces the silver
Magnesium is less reactive than silver and displaces the silver
The magnesium reacts with the nitrate and is coated in magnesium nitrate
Silver in silver nitrate is actually more reactive than magnesuim ribbon so the magnesium corrodes
The grey substance is silver which is deposited on the surface of the magnesium ribbon
