o Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, Potassium, Copper

6. Complete the word equations: a) Magnesium + Hydrochloric Acid → ________ + ________ b) Zinc +
Sulfuric Acid → ________ + ________ c) Iron + Oxygen + Water → ________

7. A student places a small piece of calcium into water. Describe what they might observe and write the
balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

8. Explain why gold is used for making jewelry, considering its reactivity.

Section C: Rates of Reaction

9. Define the term rate of reaction.
