  • State the order of reactivity of the three metals, giving a reason for your answer.
    increasing reactivity: Z, X, Y - X displaces Z so X is more reactive than Z; X does not display Y so Y is more reactive than X
  •  25
  • a naturally occurring solid material from which a metal or valuable mineral can be extracted profitably. What is this?
    ore
  •  15
  • State why copper can be produced by heating copper oxide with carbon
    carbon is more reactive than copper, and will displace copper from copper oxide
  •  20
  • What is bioleaching?
    use bacteria to convert copper into gold
    extract metals in ores using microorganisms to oxidize metal
    use bacteria to shine metals
    using enzymes to do metal plating
  •  15
  • Why is bioleaching slow?
    the bacteria take time to decompose the ore
  •  15
  • Plants absorb mineral ions through their roots. What is this?
    phytoextraction or phytomining
  •  20
  • Which metal can only be extracted from its ore by electrolysis
    sodium
    lead
    gold
    zinc

  • What is the half reaction that occurs at the cathode for Al2O3
    Al3+ + 3e- --> Al(s)
  •  20
  • What is the half reaction that occurs at the anode for Al2O3
    2O2- --> O2 + 4e-
  •  20
  • Taking waste metal and changing it into a useful item. What process is this?
    recycling metal
  •  15
  • What is: a state of balance between continuing processes.
    dynamic equilibrium
  •  15
  • What is: a state of balance between continuing processes.
    dynamic equilibrium

  • What happens to the amount of products when a reaction reaches equilibrium?
    it stays the same
  •  10
  • What happens at the highlighted point?
    equilibrium (when it levels off)
  •  15
  • How does equilibrium shift if nitrogen dioxide is added to this reaction? (justify your answer)
    shift to products (right) to compensate for the stress on reactants
  •  10
  • How does equilibrium shift if nitrogen dioxide is removed from this reaction? (justify your answer)
    shift to reactants (left) to compensate for the lack of stress on reactants
