Reactivity series
In order to extract a metal, the ore or compound of the
metal must undergo REDUCTION to free the metal.

Reduction is the LOSS of oxygen or REMOVAL of oxygen


from a compound.

Generally speaking the method of extraction depends upon


the metals position in the reactivity series.
• Oxidation is Loss of electrons; Reduction Is Gain
of electrons

OILRIG
Reduction and oxidation
lead oxide + carbon lead + carbon dioxide
2PbO(s) + C(s) 2Pb(s) + CO2(g)

carbon is oxidised
lead oxide is
reduced
Oxidation is the gain of oxygen, reduction is the loss of
oxygen
Corrosion of metals

Metals corrode when they are


left in contact with air or water.

Which metals corrode quickly


and which corrode slowly?

When iron corrodes, it is called rusting.

Rusting is the oxidation reaction of iron


with oxygen in the presence of water.

iron + oxygen  iron oxide

2Fe + 3O2  Fe2O3

Does salt make iron rust faster?

People who live by the seaside often claim that their cars go
rusty faster.
Does salt speed up the rate of the rusting reaction?

Preventing rust

Rusting destroys a huge amount of iron and steel every day.

People spend a lot of money making sure that their iron and
steel buildings, engines, lorries and ships do not rust.

What methods could you use to prevent things rusting?

Iron

• Iron rusts in the presence of water and


oxygen
• Rusting is accelerated (speeded up) in the
presence of electrolytes (contains ions) such
as salt
• Many metals corrode but only the corrosion
of iron is called rusting

• The formula of rust is: Fe2O3.xH2O

Preventing rusting by using barriers:

• To keep water and oxygen away from iron


• Can be done by: painting it, coating it in oil
or grease, or covering it with plastic
• Once the coating breaks – the iron will rust
• You can also coat the iron with a metal
below it in the reactivity series (e.g. Tin) but
again, once the coating gets broken, the iron
will rust

Alloying

• Can make alloys of iron with chromium


or nickel to produce stainless steel
• Prevents rusting
• Is expensive

Rusting: sacrificial protection

Sacrificial protection is another way of preventing rust.

This involves attaching big blocks


of magnesium or zinc to the iron
hull of a ship or water pipe.

Because magnesium is
more reactive than iron,
it corrodes first, leaving
the iron intact.
reactive
Eventually the magnesium metal
blocks have to be replaced
iron
because they have
corroded completely away.

Reactions of metals with oxygen
When a metal reacts with oxygen it will form a METAL
OXIDE. This is what happens when a metal rusts or burns.

Reactions of metals with water
When a metal reacts with water hydrogen is always given off.
The other product will be either a metal hydroxide or a metal
oxide.

A displacement reaction is one where a MORE REACTIVE metal will


DISPLACE a LESS REACTIVE metal from a compound.
