Questions 5–8 refer to the following: A group of pupils carried out investigations on how metals reacted. At the end of their work they produced this reactivity series:

most reactive sodiummagnesiumaluminiumzincironcopper

least reactive silver

5 Which metal did they find reacts most rapidly with water?A copper B magnesium and ironC iron and copper D copper and silver

6 When they put a piece of zinc into an acid there was a slow reaction. Which two metals would react faster?A magnesium and aluminium B magnesium and ironC iron and copper D copper and silver

7 They saw sodium react with water, but they were not allowed to put any in an acid. This was because sodiumA reacts violently with acid to produce hydrogenB reacts violently with acid to produce oxygenC reacts with water but not an acidD reacts with an acid only when the acid is heated

8 When an iron nail is placed in a solution of copper sulphate they found that the iron became coated in a layer of copper. This happened becauseA a metal higher in the series displaces a metal lower in the seriesB a metal lower in the series displaces a metal higher in the seriesC metals high in the series react slowlyD metals low in the series react rapidly

9 What is produced when calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid?A calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and oxygenB calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and waterC calcium oxide, carbon dioxide and waterD calcium, hydrogen and water

11 What is produced when copper oxide reacts with sulphuric acid?A copper sulphate and waterB copper sulphate and hydrogenC copper sulphate and oxygenD copper sulphate, water and carbon dioxide

12 What is produced when an acid reacts with an alkali?A a salt and water onlyB a salt, water and carbon dioxideC carbon dioxide and water onlyD a salt and carbon dioxide only
