Unit 6 - Metals Part 2

a chemical reaction between two compounds where the positive ion of one compound is exchanged with the positive ion of another compound

• combustion
• synthesis (combination) reaction
• decomposition reaction
• double replacement reaction

molten iron poured into a mould to make a product

• Combustion
• cast iron
• Oxidation
• calx/calc

A way to manufacture steel quickly and cheaply by blasting hot air through melted iron to quickly remove impurities.

• Bessemer Process
• activity series
• cathodic protection
• Bayer process

an electrochemical process where two metals are placed in an electrolyte and one of the metals corrodes.

• Galvanic Corrosion
• activity series
• cathodic protection
• Cathode Corrosion

A technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell.

• galvanic corrosion
• cathodic protection
• reduction
• anode

a naturally occurring solid material from which a metal or valuable mineral can be profitably extracted.
