Study Notes
Introduction to Metals
- Key metals: Lithium (Li), Magnesium (Mg), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Potassium (K), Aluminum (Al), Cobalt (Co), Mercury (Hg), Barium (Ba), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Silver (Ag), Calcium (Ca), Zinc (Zn), Tin (Sn), Platinum (Pt), Sodium (Na), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Gold (Au), and Hydrogen (H₂).
Reactivity in Reactions
- Magnesium (Mg) + Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO₄): Produces Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO₄) and Zinc (Zn) with no reaction in reverse.
- Iron (Fe) + Hydrochloric Acid (HCl): Produces Hydrogen gas (H₂) and Iron(II) Chloride (FeCl₂).
- Gold (Au) + Hydrochloric Acid (HCl): No reaction occurs.
Electrolysis Concepts
- Anode is referred to as "big brother," while the cathode is termed "little brother."
- The more reactive metal cation will be reduced at the cathode during electrolytic processes.
Reactivity Series
- Metals are arranged in decreasing order of reactivity:
- Lithium (Li) is the most reactive.
- Followed by Potassium (K), Barium (Ba), Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminum (Al), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), Mercury (Hg), Silver (Ag), Platinum (Pt), and Gold (Au) is the least reactive.
Key Reaction Outcomes
- Mg + ZnSO₄: Reaction occurs; reverse has no reaction.
- Zn + MgSO₄: No reaction occurs.
- Fe + HCl: Reaction occurs.
- Au + HCl: No reaction occurs.
This framework highlights the relative reactivities of metals and their behaviors in specific chemical reactions, crucial for understanding electrochemistry and metal reactions.
