Study Notes
Mechanical Separation
- Used for elements that exist in their native form
- Examples include diamond and gold
Thermal Decomposition
- Impure nickel reacts with carbon monoxide at 280°C to form nickel tetracarbonyl
- Nickel tetracarbonyl decomposes at higher temperatures, forming pure nickel and carbon monoxide
Substitution Reactions
- Copper sulfide reacts with iron to produce iron sulfide and copper
- This is a substitution reaction where copper is displaced by iron
High Temperature Chemical Reduction Methods
- Iron oxide reacts with carbon in a blast furnace to produce iron and carbon dioxide
- Zinc oxide reacts with carbon at 1200°C to produce zinc and carbon monoxide
Electrolytic Reduction
- Used for producing pure elements
- Examples include copper and zinc
- This method is expensive
Preparation of Hydrogen in the Laboratory
- Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas
Preparation of Hydrogen in Industry
- Calcium reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas
- Methane reacts with water in the presence of nickel at 1000°C to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas
- Carbon reacts with water in the presence of iron at 1000°C to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas
- Carbon reacts with water in the presence of iron oxide at 450°C to produce carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas
