G8 Reactivity Topic Test

The document discusses the reactivity series and how it can be used to predict reactions between metals and acids. It provides an example using copper and magnesium with limewater, asking students to use the reactivity series to explain the results. It also asks students to complete a table predicting observations when different metals are added to hydrochloric acid and to write and explain reactions between magnesium and hydrochloric acid.

The reactivity of an element describes how easily the element forms compounds.

A reactivity series is shown below.


Mg (most reactive)
C
H
Cu (least reactive)
(a) Fig. 1.1 shows two sets of apparatus, X and Y, that a teacher uses to compare the
reactivities of copper and magnesium.

Fig. 1.1
Use the reactivity series to explain why the limewater in apparatus X becomes milky, but that
in apparatus Y does not.

(b) A student investigates what happens when the four solids, listed in Table 1.1, are added
separately to dilute hydrochloric acid.

(i) The student records some of her observations in Table 1.1.


Complete Table 1.1 by writing
• a tick () if you predict that the observation does occur,
• a cross () if you predict the observation does not occur.
The correct observations for magnesium are shown.
Table 1.1

(ii) Complete the word equation for the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and
magnesium.

(iii) Predict and explain whether the pH of the reacting mixture in (b)(ii) decreases, increases
or stays the same during the reaction.
