what is an iron ore?
mainly HAEMATITE, iron oxide
1 of 29
which metals DONT need extraction but instead are found pure in the ground?
silver and gold
2 of 29
which metals can be extracted from there ores by a reduction in carbon?
zinc, iron and copper
3 of 29
which metals are very reactive and can only be extracted using electrolysis?
potassium, sodium and alumnium
4 of 29
what is electrolysis?
splitting using electricity
5 of 29
which metals displace others in reactions?
the more reactive ones
6 of 29
potassium+ iron oxide ->.....
potassium oxide + iron
7 of 29
carbon can be used to extract some metals from their ores
the copper oxide has lost oxygen. this is called a reduction reaction
8 of 29
copper oxide+carbon -> copper+carbon dioxide what has happened?
the copper oxide has lost oxygen. this is called a reduction reaction
9 of 29
what is coke?
a cheap form of carbon , made from coal
10 of 29
what is limestone used for in a blast furnace?
to get rid of sandy waste (impurities)
11 of 29
what is hot air in a blast furnace used for?
turns the iron molten so that impurities run off
12 of 29
what does the limestone in a blast furnace react with to make ****?
impurities from the iron
13 of 29
what is **** used for?
making roads
14 of 29
what is bauxite?
aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
15 of 29
what is malachite?
copper carbonate (C3CO3)
16 of 29
what is haematite?
iron oxide (Fe2O3)
17 of 29
what do metals most commonly bind with to create ores?
oxygen or sluphur
18 of 29
what is the symbol equation for limestone?
CaCO3
19 of 29
what is the chemical name for limestone?
calcium carbonate
20 of 29
what happens when limestone is broke down my thermal decomposition?
the products formed are calcium oxide and carbon dioxide
21 of 29
what is another name for calcium oxide?
quicklime
22 of 29
what does quicklime create when water is added? and what is its use?
slaked lime. this is used to raise the pH of acidic soil
23 of 29
how is glass formed?
by heating a mixture of lime stone sand and sodium carbonate
24 of 29
what are some of the reactions of limestone?
CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) , CaO (calcium oxide) , CO2 (carbon dioxide) , Ca(OH)2 (calcium hydroxide) and CaHCO3 (calcium bicarbonate)
25 of 29
what is the equation for thermal decomposition?
metal carbonate-heat>metal oxide+carbon dioxide
26 of 29
name 2 reasons for quarrying limestone
brings jobs to the area and the limestone goes to cement factories to make cement which we use a lot
27 of 29
two reasons against quarrying limestone
quarrys can destroy natural habitats and quarrying creates a lot of dust
28 of 29
is a thermite reaction a commercially viable way of extracting iron from its ore?
no- not eco friendly and is a waste of a lot of resources eg - limestone or coke
