Question
Answer
What is an alloy?   A mixture of metals (and sometimes non-metals) e.g. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc.  
🗑
What is brass?   An alloy of copper and zinc.  
🗑
Describe the properties of aluminium and what it is use for.   A low density, corrosion resistant metal use in many alloys, including those used in the aircraft industry.  
🗑
What is bioleaching?   The process of extracting metals from low grade ores using micro-organisms.  
🗑
What is a blast furnace used for?   The blast furnace is the huge reaction vessel used in industry to remove iron from it’s ore.  
🗑
What is carbon steel?   Alloy of iron containing small, controlled amounts, of carbon.  
🗑
What is cast iron?   The impure iron taken directly from the blast furnace.  
🗑
What is a copper rich ore?   A rock that contains a high proportion of a copper compound.  
🗑
What is a high-alloy steel?   An expensive alloy of iron mixed with relatively high proportions of other metals e.g. stainless steel which contains nickel and chromium along with the iron.  
🗑
What is a low-alloy steel?   An alloy of iron containing small amounts (1-5%) of other metals.  
🗑
What is an ore?   A rock which contains enough metal to make it economically viable to extract the metal.  
🗑
What is oxidation?   A reaction when oxygen is added to a substance (or electrons are lost)  
🗑
What is phytomining?   The process of extracting metals from low grade ores using plants.  
🗑
What is the reactivity series?   A list of elements in order of their reactivity. The most reactive element is put at the top of the list.  
🗑
What is the process by which one element takes the place of another, less reactive element?   Displacment/Displace.  
🗑
What is meant by “displace”?   When one element takes the place of another in a compound. For example iron + copper sulphate = iron sulphate + copper.  
🗑
What is reduction?   A reaction in which oxygen is removed (or electrons gained).  
🗑
What is a shape metal alloy?   A mixture of metals which responds to changes in temperature?  
🗑
What is smelting?   Heating a metal ore in order to extract its metal.  
🗑
What is stainless steel?   A chromium/ nickel alloy of iron which does not rust.  
🗑
What is steel?   An alloy of iron with small amounts of carbon or other metals, such as nickel or chromium, added.  
🗑
What is titanium?   A shiny, corrosion resistant, metal used to make alloys.  
🗑
