-
CARBON
- between aluminimu & zinc
-
HYDROGEN
- between lead and copper
-
displacement reaction
- any element above
- displaces any element below
- Mg(s) + CuO(s) ---> MgO(s) + Cu(s)
-
establish reactivity series
-
metals + compunds
- aqueous solution
- displacement of ions
-
Zinc & copper
- zinc + copper sulphate solution ---> zinc sulphate solution + copper
- Zn(s) + Cu2_ (aq) + SO4 2-(aq) ---> Zn2+(aq) + SO4 2- (aq) + Cu (s)
-
blue colour
- copper ion
- disappears
-
copper & silver
- copper + silver nitrate ---> copper nitrate + silver
- Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 (aq) ---> Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2(Ag (s)
-
Cu(II) ion
- blue solution
-
shiny grey precipitate
- silver
-
more reactive
-
compounds
- easier to form
- harder to break down
-
metal ores
-
below carbon
- zinc down
-
oxides + carbon + heat
- =metal
- DISPLACEMENT REACTION
-
Sacrification protection
-
galvanised iron
-
coat with zinc
- sacrificial anode
- reacts instead of iron
- more reactive
