Unit 36 - Metal Reactions
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand that rusting is a chemical process that changes iron into a new substance (OC45)
- Carry out an experiment to demonstrate that oxygen and water are necessary for rusting (OC46)
- List three examples of methods of rustprevention: paint, oil, galvanizing (OC47)
- Describe the general properties of the alkali metals and understand that alkali metals are in Group I of the Periodic Table and have similar properties (OC48)
- Describe the reactions of the alkali metals with air and water (word equations for reaction with water) (OC49)
- Understand that Group II elements are the alkaline earth metals (OC50)
- Investigate the reaction between zinc and HCl, and test for hydrogen (word equation and chemical equation) (OC51)
- Investigate the relative reactivities of Ca, Mg, Zn, and Cu based on their reactions with water and acid (equations not required) (OC52)
