Q1a) The metal is more reactive than Fe & Cu and less reactive than Mg

b) may be Zn or Al c) Zn Mg

Page 92

2. a) Zn is more reactive than Fe

b) Zinc + Iron chloride → Zinc chloride + Iron

c)Yes

d)Zn is less reactive than Mg so Zn cannot displace Mg

3. a) Al is used to displace Fe from iron oxide. This reaction is called Thermite process , which

produces a large amount of heat. This heat produced is used to weld rails

b).The large amount of heat produces makes the iron melts

c). Aluminium + iron oxide → Aluminium oxide + iron

4 a) Carbon

b) carbon added or Carbon monoxide produced in furnace reacts with the iron ore Fe 2O3 to form Fe

c) Iron oxide + carbon → Iron + carbon di oxide [OR]

Iron oxide + carbon monoxide → Iron + carbon di oxide

d) Below Al and above Zn

Page 95 5.3 B MAKING SALTS

1.Add a spatula measure of Zn powder into a conical flask and add nitric acid, stir well with a glass
rod.

Filter the mixture and evaporate gently then cool the solution to get crystals of zinc nitrate.

2. Zinc + nitric acid → zinc nitrate + hydrogen

3.Silver is less reactive than hydrogen and cannot displace hydrogen from acid.

4. potassium is very reactive metal , the reaction is dangerous.

5. a) If boil CuSO4 crystals cannot be obtained.

b) Copper oxide + sulphuric acid → copper sulphate + water

6. a) Magnesium + nitric acid → magnesium nitrate + hydrogen

b) Copper oxide + nitric acid → copper nitrate + water

c) Zinc + hydrochloric acid → zinc chloride + hydrogen

d) Zinc + sulphuric acid → zinc sulphate + hydrogen

5.3 Practical steps for making salts

1.Copper is below hydrogen in the reactivity series . So copper cannot displace hydrogen from acids

2.. Step 1: Add a spatula measure of copper oxide into a beaker , add hydrochloric acid and stir with a
glass rod.

Step 2 : Filter the mixture to remove the unreacted copper oxide .

Step 3 : Evaporate the solution gently then cool to get copper chloride crystals

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Precautions : Wear lab coat , goggles and gloves

Heat gently

1.Effervescence or bubbles of gas can be seen

2. Unreacted copper carbonate

3.Copper chloride solution.

4. Evaporate the solution gently then cool to get crystals.

5.Heat gently.

6.Lower the flame to avoid splashing of the solution.

7 Copper carbonate + hydrochloric acid → copper chloride + water + carbon di oxide

Page 99

1 .Hydrochloric acid

2. Burette , pipette , conical flask , dropper

6. Potassium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid → potassium chloride + water

7. KOH + HCl → KCl + H2O

1 Carbon di oxide 2. Hydrogen 3. Salt crysalts 4. Sulphuric acid

5. hydrochloric acid 6. hydrochloric acid 7.Zinc carbonate 8. iron oxide

9. Magnesium

10. Zinc carbonate + sulfuric acid → zinc sulphate + water + carbon di oxide

11. Iron oxide + hydrochloric acid → Iron chloride + water

12. Magnesium + hydrochloric acid → Magnesium chloride + hydrogen
