What metals are in the reactivity series? ,sodium,lithium,,magnesium,,,,iron,,,,copper,,gold,platinum
What are the two methods of extracting metals from their ores?
Reduction with carbon
Oxidation
Electrolysis
The method chosen to extract metals are determined by the reactivity of the metal being extracted.
What happens in a displacement reaction?
A more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal.
A less reactive metal displaces a more reactive metal.
Carbon is used to reduce metals from their ores. Is it because they are less reactive than the moderately reactive metals?
What are the raw materials needed for the extraction of iron? ,,coke and
1.) Coke and are continuously added to the of the furnace. 2.) is into the base of the furnace. 3.) Coke reacts with at the base to produce carbon dioxide. 4.) The the furnace and reacts with even more coke to produce the main reducing agent - . 5.) Carbon monoxide the haematite. 7.) Limestone is added to . It 8.) Calcium oxide reacts with the to produce slag. 9.) iron and sinks to the base of the furnace.
What is the chemical equation of the reduction of haematite?
C(s) + O2 (g) -> CO2 (g)
C (s) + CO2 (g) -> 2CO (g)
Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO (g) -> 2Fe (s) + 3CO2 (g)
This is the thermal decomposition of limestone. CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) -> CaSiO3 (l)
1.) The tilting furnace is charged with (for recycling) and pig iron (). 2.) Oxygen is blown through an . 3.) The molten steel and impurities are poured out of the furnace when the furnace tilts in
Which of the below are alloy steels?
Mild steel
Medium steel
High-carbon steel
Stainless steel
Tungsten steel
Manganese steel
When iron rusts, it is actually being oxidized.
Which method of prevention of rust other than galvanising, requires a more reactive metal than iron to corrode?
Sacrificial Protection
Electroplating
Electrolytic Protection
1.) (ore of zinc) is heated strongly in . It the ore into . is also produced. 2.) Zinc oxide burns with . The ore is and gives and 3.) Zinc vapor passes out of the furnace and is and into a liquid.
Copper must be purified by reduction because wires need impure copper to conduct electricity.
What is the difference between bauxite and alumina?
Bauxite is impure aluminium oxide while alumina is pure.
Bauxite is pure aluminium oxide while alumina is impure.
1.) Bauxite is treated with to obtain alumina. 2.) is dissolved in molten cryolite. 3.) alumina and cryolite is electrolysed in a cell fitted with
Properties of ammonia?
Colourless
Distinctive smell
Less dense than air
Soluble in water
Acidic solution
1.) Nitrogen is obtained from , while hydrogen is obtained from by reaction with - raw materials 2.) The 2 gases are mixed in a ratio of 3.) Compressed at a pressure of and passed over many catalyst beds containing . The temperature of the converter is . 4.) A mixture of gases leaves the converter. To separate the mixture, it is cooled down. Ammonia has a much point so it . 5.) The mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen is sent back to the converter to be .
What type of fertiliser is 'nitram' and 'urea'?
Straight nitrogen fertilisers
NPK compound fertilsers
What are the three essential nutrients required by plants - provided by fertilisers?
Nitrogen
Hydrogen
Phosphorous
Potassium
1.) Sulfur burns in air to produce . 2.) Gases are and by 3.) Sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen to form 4.) Sulfur trioxide is in - is produced 5.) is added to oleum to produce
Properties of oleum (concentrated sulfuric acid)?
Powerful dehydrating agent
Powerful oxidising agent
Not corrosive
Dehydration is the removal of water or at least elements of water from a substance.
What are the three different types of electrolytic cells used in the electrolysis of concentrated brine?
Mercury Cathode Cell
Diaphragm cell
Graphite electrdes
Membrane cell
Chlorine is produced at the anode. Hydrogen is produced at the cathode. Sodium ions (from NaCl) and hydroxide ions (from the water) combine together to form sodium hydroxide.
Powdered limestone is used to acidic soils and lakes acidified by . It is than lime. In the blast furnace, limestone is used to . Limestone is also used to manufacture .
Lime () is and is produced by limestone ) in a . Lime is used in agriculture to neutralise soils and improve in soils that consists of a large amount of . It is also used with sand and sodium carbonate in making . Lime can also be converted into lime ( lime) which is . Equal amounts of lime and water are mixed to produce this substance. Hydrated lime is used to make , for making glass, and for .
When limestone thermally decomposes to produce quick-lime, what is required?

What are the environmental problems for chemical plants?
Chemical plants need to treat the polluted gases which are produced in production, because it causes acid-rain and health problems for human beings. This creates an additional costs for industries.
Chemical plants need to treat the water and liquids which comes out of production because they go into water-bodies, or else they will get large fines by water-boards and river authorities.
Solid waste products have to be treated to make them less harmless and have to be disposed safely, to ensure minimum land pollution. This also create additional costs for industries.
All of the above.
Is recycling good for the environment?
