Metal Worksheet Answers

1. B 2.B 3. B 4.C 5. A 6.B

Sample drawing

Zn and Cu atoms represented by circles with different sizes


Circles representing copper atoms in pure copper and brass to be consistent in size
3 (a) Y (most reactive)
W
X
Z
V (least reactive)

(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.

(c) Displacement reaction/redox reaction

(d) Silver is less reactive than copper.

(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.

5. - steam, gaseous state


6.

- 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.

- Hydrogen is less dense than air – upward delivery accepted.


- Drawing of glass jar/ gas syringe to be proportional.

9 (a) A = iron ore B = slag C = molten iron


(b) Carbon dioxide [1] Nitrogen [1]

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) Reduction is the loss of oxygen/gain of electrons. [1]

13 (a) iron(III) oxide + aluminium [1] → iron + aluminium oxide [1]

(b) Aluminium is more reactive than iron [1] and takes oxygen from iron/reduces
iron(III) oxide. [1]
