Which of the following two statements are correct?
:- Metal oxides and metal hydroxides are generally alkalis.
:- This means they'll react with acids to form a salt and water.
C) Both of them.
Acid + Metal oxide --> Salt + Water
Acid + Metal Hydroxide --> Salt + Water
What type of reaction is this?
D) Neutralisation
If an acid + an alkali produces a salt, it is a neutralisation reaction.
Define 'corrosive'.
B) Attacks and destroys living tissue
Catches fire easily - oxidising
Can cause death - toxic
Can cause blistering of the skin - irritant
Calcium carbonate --> Calcium oxide + blank What is the blank in this thermal decomposition reaction.
C) Carbon dioxide
A carbonate will always produce carbon dioxide in a thermal decomposition reaction.
How is magnesium extracted from its ore?
D) By electrolysis
Magnesium is very reactive, so must be extracted by using electrolysis.
2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
What type of reaction is this?
B) Oxidation
When oxygen is added to a metal to create a metal oxide.
How do you test for chlorine gas?
A) It will bleach litmus paper, turning it white.
A glowing splint is used for oxygen, a lighted splint is used for hydrogen and ammonia will turn red litmus paper blue.
