Have a nice moment with me

9.2 Burning

Burning is a chemical reaction

Magnesium + Oxygen magnesium oxide

CB Pg 110 Q A1,A2,A3,A4
Pg 111 Q 1,2,3
q
Looking at the reactants and products
Magnesium (reactant) Oxygen (reactant) Magnesium oxide
(product)

Element or compound? element element compound

State at room temperature solid Gas solid

Appearance Soft,shiny, melleable Colourless, has no smell White, powdery

(odourless)

Conducts electricity? yes no no

Melting point/ 0C 651 -214 2800

9.3 Reaction with acids

(1)Reactions between metals and acids

Metal + Acid Salt + hydrogen

Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid magnesium chloride + hydrogen

Zinc + sulfuric acid zinc sulfate + hydrogen

* Some metals react with acids producing hydrogen gas.

CB Pg 112 Q1,2
q
Testing for hydrogen
- When we see bubbles forming during a chemical reaction, gas is
produced.
- When a lighted splint is placed at the mouth of the tube, hydrogen
gas burns with a squeaky pop.
- Squeaky pop indicates the presence of hydrogen.
- Hydrogen gas is lighter than air.
- When hydrogen is reacting with oxygen in the air, to form water.
hydrogen + oxygen water
q
(2)Reaction between carbonates and acid
Metal carbonate + Acid salt + water + carbon dioxide

Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide

limestone
Copper carbonate + hydrochloric acid copper chloride + water + carbon dioxide

* Carbonates react with acids producing carbon dioxide gas.

Testing for carbon dioxide
• When the lighted splint is placed at the mouth of the tube,
Carbon dioxide will make the splint go out.
• Carbon dioxide makes limewater go cloudy/milky/chalky.
