Sample drawing
(b) hydrogen
(c) Yes because X is more reactive than Z
(d) electrolysis
4. (a) Experiment I.
Cu (s) + 2Ag+ (aq) → 2Ag (s) + Cu2+ (aq)
(b) silvery solid appear on the copper foil/ copper decreased in mass
Colourless solution turns blue.
(e) recycling conserve the scarce metals resources of our earth/ save cost in
extracting and finding the metal/ more energy saving
(f) In the metal, positive metal ions are closely packed together in neat rows and
columns. This accounts for the high density.
The free electrons are able to move throughout the metal lattice. This accounts for it
being a good conductor of electricity.
- boiling point of water is 100 oC (low bp, covalent compound), nothing to do with
melting point. Melting point of steel (1370 oC) and iron (1510 oC) – metallic
bonding
- be specific in answers,
- why copper chosen?
- which component of steel reacts?
- copper is unreactive with acid (not less reactive)
7. zinc
8.
11 (a) The air is used to react with the coke/carbon to form carbon dioxide.
(b) To remove the impurities that are in the iron ore/to form slag.
(c) Any one from: Too expensive/aluminium is more expensive than iron./ Too
dangerous/aluminium reacts violently with iron oxide.
12 (a) Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2 [1]
(b) Aluminium is more reactive than iron [1] and takes oxygen from iron/reduces
iron(III) oxide. [1]
