    The document discusses redox reactions where oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously. Section 1 describes how lead can be extracted from a compound through the reaction of lead oxide with carbon. Section 2 explains how calcium metal can be formed from its ions through its reaction with carbon. Calcium gains electrons through reduction while chlorine loses electrons through oxidation. Section 3 states how copper can displace iron from its salt solution since iron is more reactive than copper, resulting in both the reduction of copper ions and the oxidation of iron.

    1.

    a) A compound from which a metal can be extracted from it


    b) Because carbon is more reactive than lead
    c) The lead oxide loses oxygen
    d) Because lead oxide loses oxygen (reduction) and carbon gains oxygen (oxidation),
    meaning that both oxidation and reduction take place at the same time

    2. a) Because carbon is less reactive than calcium


    b) Ca2+ + 2e– Ca

    c) Because calcium gains electrons (reduction) and chlorine loses electrons (oxidation),
    meaning that oxidation and reduction take place at the same time
    di) So that the ions can move to carry charge
    dii) There is a strong attraction between positive and negative ions

    3. a) Because iron is more reactive than copper


    b) Cu2+ + 2e–  Cu and Fe – 2e–  Fe2+
    c) Because the copper gains electrons (reduction) and because iron loses electrons
    (oxidation), meaning that both oxidation and reduction take place at the same time
    d) Cu2+ + Fe  Cu + Fe2+
