Reactivity of Metals and Displacement Reactions

Front

What is the definition of a displacement reaction?

Back

A more reactive metal replaces a less reactive metal from its compound.

Front

Complete the reaction

Iron + copper sulphate

Back

Iron sulphate + copper

Front

What is the location of least reactive metals in the reactivity series?

Back

At the bottom

Front

Explain why copper does not react with an acid?

Back

It is less reactive hydrogen and cannot displace it.

Front

What is the trend in reactivity trend in Group 1 metals?

Back

The further down you go, the more reactive the metals are

Front

What is an ore?

Back

A rock which contains enough metal to be economical to extract

Front

Complete the displacement reaction: aluminium + copper sulphate

Back

Aluminium sulphate + copper

Front

Why can't aluminium be displaced by iron?

Back

Because aluminium is more reactive than iron

Front

What is oxidation?

Back

When oxygen is gained.

Front

What has been oxidised in the reaction below;

Magnesium + oxygen --> Magnesium

oxide

Back

Magnesium.
