Study Notes
Reactivity of Metals
- Reactivity is a substance's tendency to undergo chemical reactions.
- Metals' reactivity is based on their position in the reactivity series.
- Highly reactive metals include potassium (K), sodium (Na), and calcium (Ca).
- Moderately reactive metals are magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), and zinc (Zn).
- Less reactive metals are iron (Fe), lead (Pb), and copper (Cu).
- Unreactive metals include silver (Ag) and gold (Au).
Formation of Salts
- Salts are ionic compounds formed when the hydrogen ion (H+) in an acid is replaced by a metal or ammonium ion (NH4+).
- Key acids and their related salts are:
- Hydrochloric acid (HCl) forms chlorides (e.g., NaCl).
- Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) forms sulfates (e.g., CuSO4).
- Nitric acid (HNO3) forms nitrates (e.g., KNO3).
Methods of Salt Formation
-
Metal + Acid: Metal reacts with an acid to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
- Example: Zinc + Sulfuric Acid → Zinc Sulfate + Hydrogen Gas (Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2)
-
Metal Oxide + Acid: Metal oxide reacts with an acid to produce a salt and water.
- Example: Copper(II) Oxide + Hydrochloric Acid → Copper(II) Chloride + Water (CuO + 2HCl → CuCl2 + H2O)
-
Metal Carbonate + Acid: Metal carbonate reacts with an acid to produce a salt, water, and carbon dioxide.
- Example: Calcium Carbonate + Nitric Acid → Calcium Nitrate + Water + Carbon Dioxide (CaCO3 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O + CO2)
Displacement Reactions
- A more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal from its compound.
- Example: Zinc + Copper Sulfate → Zinc Sulfate + Copper (Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu)
- Displacement reactions are used in extracting metals from ores.
Additional Reactions
- Metal + water: Highly reactive metals react violently with water to produce metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas. Less reactive metals react with steam, not cold water. (e.g., 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2 )
- Metal + Oxygen: Highly reactive metals react very rapidly with oxygen to form oxides quickly. Example: 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO. Less reactive metals form oxides slowly or require heating.
