Igcse structure question 11
Question 2
The diagrams show the reactions of some metals with cold water and with
dilute
hydrochloric acid.
(a) Answer the following questions, using only the metals that appear in the
diagrams.
(i) Name two metals that react with cold water.
(2)
and
(ii) Name one metal that reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid but not
with
cold water.
(1)
...........................................................................................................................
..................
(iii) Arrange the five metals in order of reactivity.
Most reactive metal
(3)
Least reactive metal
(b) Some magnesium powder is added to dilute sulfuric acid in a test tube.
A colourless solution is formed and a gas is given off.
When more magnesium is added, the reaction continues for a while and
then
stops, leaving some magnesium powder in the test tube.
When a flame is placed at the mouth of the test tube, the gas burns with a
squeaky pop.
(i) Identify the gas produced.
(1)
.
(ii) Suggest why the reaction stops.
(1)
.
.
(iii) State the name of the colourless solution.
(1)
.
(iv) How could you separate the magnesium powder from the colourless
solution?
(1)
.
.
(c) In some fireworks, magnesium powder reacts quickly with oxygen in the
air.
During this reaction heat energy is produced.
(i) What name is given to reactions in which heat energy is produced? (1)
.
(ii) Name the compound formed when magnesium reacts with oxygen. (1)
.
