Question | Answer |
What is an oxidation? | When an element GAINS/JOINS with oxygen |
What is reduction? | When a compound LOSES oxygen |
IN this equation, which element is reduced, which is oxidised: Iron Oxide + Carbon Carbon Dioxide + Iron | Iron is reduced (Iron Oxide loses Oxygen); Carbon is oxidised |
Define an element, a compound and a mixture | An element is made of one type of particles (atoms) only; a compound is two (or more) elements JOINED together;a mixture is made of two particles NOT JOINED together, the particles in a mixture can be separated easily |
Explain what galvanising is | Coating a metal with Zinc, so that the metal does not oxidise |
Name the three elements found in Copper sulphate | Copper Sulfur and Oxygen (the ATE means lots of oxygen) |
Balance this equation Mg + HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 | Mg + 2 HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 |
Say what elements are present in this compound and how many atoms of each: C2H5OH | Carbon (2 atoms)Hydrogen (6 atoms) Oxygen (1 atom) |
Explain how metals such as iron can be extracted from their ores | Carbon is more reactive than Iron; Carbon takes away the Oxygen from Iron (do not say “the oxide”); Carbon reduces the Iron |
Write the equation for the reaction that occurs between Sodium and water | Sodium + Water -> Sodium Hydroxide + Hydrogen |
What is the alkali formed when Potassium reacts with water? | Potassium Hydroxide |
What gas is formed when a metal reacts with acid? | Hydrogen |
Write the word equation for the reaction between Iron and Hydrochloric Acid | Iron + Hydrochloric Acid --> Iron Chloride + Hydrogen |
Write the word equation for the reaction between Magnesium and Nitric Acid | Magnesium + Nitric Acid --> Magnesium Nitrate + Hydrogen |
Name these elements from their symbols: Na, K, C, Mg | Sodium, Potassium, Carbon, Magnesium |
A metal X displaces Y from solution but metal X does not react with the nitrate of Z; What is the order of reactivity? | from most reactive to least reactive Z>X>Y |
Magnesium burns in air with a bright flame. Write the word equation | Magnesium +Oxygen --> Magnesium Oxide |
Calcium burns in air to make Calcium Oxide. Write the word equation | Calcium + Oxygen --> Calcium Oxide |
Copper burns in air. Write the word equation | Copper +Oxygen --> Copper Oxide |
When Iron is placed in Copper Sulfate, the Iron becomes coated with a red substance. What is the name of that substance? | Copper (have you written the word equation? Copper Sulfate + Iron Copper + Iron Sulfate) |
What would you observe when you place Magnesium in Copper Sulfate? | A red solid forms (copper) and the blue solution becomes colourless (as the copper sulphate reacts): (have you written the word equation? Copper Sulfate + Iron Copper + Iron Sulfate) |
Write the word equation for the reaction between Silver Nitrate and Zinc | Zinc + Silver Nitrate --> Zinc Nitrate + Silver |
What type of substance is Copper Sulfate? Element, Compound or mixture? | Compound |
What type of substance is Hydrogen? Element, Compound or mixture? | Element |
What type of substance is salty water? Element, Compound or mixture? | Mixture |
Name a metal that rusts | Iron |
Why is it wrong to say “Zinc rusts”?What should you say instead | Because ONLY iron rusts; all the other metals OXIDISE |
What is the chemical name for rust? | Iron Oxide |
What two chemicals are needed for Iron to rust? | Water and Oxygen |
Write the name of the compound which is formed when Zinc reacts with sulphur | Zinc Sulfide |
Write the name of the compound which is formed when Sodium reacts with Chlorine | Sodium Chloride |
Where are the metals found on the Periodic table? | On the left hand side |
What acid would you need to make Zinc Sulfate? | Sulfuric Acid |
Jane wants to make Copper Sulfate. Why should she not add Sulfuric Acid to Copper?What should she use instead of Copper? | Because Copper is not reactive enough (it is less reactive than Hydrogen). She could use Copper Oxide or Copper Carbonate instead. |
The gas given off in an experiment re-lit a glowing splint. Give the name of this gas. | Hydrogen |
When Magnesium is burned, a white powder is formed. What is the name of this white powder? | Magnesium Oxide (have you written the word equation? Magnesium +Oxygen Magnesium Oxide) |
In an experiment, Magnesium is burned in air. Why is the mass increasing? | Because Oxygen has combined with Magnesium |
What is the name of this compound: CuS? | Copper SulfIDE (when only 2 elements, the non-metals finishes in -IDE) |
What is the name of this compound: CuSO4? | Copper SulfATE (when 2 elements PLUS oxygen the non-metal finishes in –ATE) |
Jane places Magnesium in Nitric Acid. Explain why the mass decreases | Hydrogen gas is produced and escapes |
A metal that can be separated from a mixture using a magnet | IRON |
It describes how easily a metal reacts | REACTIVITY |
A type of corrosion that only forms on iron | RUST |
A table that shows metals arranged in order of their reactivity | REACTIVITY SERIES |
Copper chloride & magnesium sulphate are examples of this group of compounds | SALTS |
A soft & reactive alkali metal with the symbol K | POTASSIUM |
A reaction where a more reactive metal takes the place of a less reactive one | DISPLACEMENT REACTION |
The chemical symbol for the metal sodium | Na |
This group of salts has the formula of CO3 | CARBONATES |
The acid that produces salts called sulphates | SULPHURIC |
A gas that turns limewater milky | CARBON DIOXIDE |
A valuable and very unreactive metal | GOLD |
They appear when a gas is produced in a chemical reaction | BUBBLES |
A metal that has lost is shine has also lost this? Hint: Sounds like Buster | LUSTRE |
When a metal loses its shine | TARNISHED |
The name of the compound produced when a metal reacts with oxygen | OXIDE |
The salt produced when hydrochloric acid is a reactant | CHLORIDE |
The name given to the group of reactive metals potassium, sodium and lithium | ALKALI METALS |
Are Metal hydroxides (OH) acids or alkalis? | ALKALINE |
All metals conduct these | ELECTRICITY & HEAT |
A metal used in aeroplanes because of its low density | ALUMINIUM |
Rusting and oxidation are both examples of this process Hint: Acid rain can cause it | CORROSION |
The chemical formula of the hydroxide group | OH |
The formula of the sulphate group | SO4 |
The chemical formula of hydrochloric acid | HCl |
A metal used for cables because of its high conductivity and flexibility | COPPER |
Is copper chloride an element or a compound? | a compound (the clue is in the fact that there are 2 words!) |
How is Iron extracted from its ore (Iron Oxide)? | by heating Iron Oxide with Carbon in a blast furnace |
How is Aluminium extracted from its ore (Aluminium Oxide)? | by electrolysis of Aluminium Oxide (ie splitting Aluminium Oxide into Aluminium and Oxygen using a direct current) |
Why is Iron extracted by heating Iron Oxide with Carbon in a blast furnace when Aluminium extracted from its ore by electrolysis of Aluminium Oxide? | because Iron is less reactive than CARBON so CARBON can steal the Oxygen away from Iron Oxide |
Complete the word equation: Aluminium + Iron Oxide | Iron + Aluminium Oxide |
Write the word equation for the reaction between Magnesium and Copper Sulfate | Magnesium + Copper Sulfate Magnesium Sulfate + Copper |
What would happen if copper powder was heated with iron oxide? | Nothing! Because Iron is more reactive than copper so copper will not be able to steal the oxygen away! |
Zinc powder burns in air. Write the word equation for the reaction. | Zinc+OxygenZinc Oxide |
The result of reacting HOT acid with potassium or any other alkali metal | AN EXPLOSION |
The test for the gas hydrogen | POPS WITH A LIT SPLINT |

The name of the salt made when Zinc reacts with Sulfuric Acid | Zinc Sulfate (look at the first words!) |
The name of the salt made when Iron reacts with Nitric Acid | Iron Nitrate (look at the first words!) |
The two chemicals made when Iron reacts with Copper Sulphate | Copper and Iron Sulfate |
What colour will show when Iron reacts with Copper Sulphate, and why? | Orange, the colour of the copper that has been formed |
What are the two chemicals needed for Iron to rust? | Water and Oxygen |
Why is there no reaction between Copper and Iron Sulfate? | Copper is less reactive than Iron, so copper can not take away the sulfate |
