Timeline
- 00:00:00 - 00:05:00
En aquest capítol, es discuteixen les propietats físiques i químiques dels metalls. Comença recordant l'estructura dels metalls, destacant que tenen una estructura gegant tridimensional amb ions positius regularment ordenats envoltats per electrons deslocalitzats. Es destaca la capacitat de conduir electricitat, ser maleables i dúctils, a causa dels electrons lliures i la capacitat dels ions per deslizar-los durant l'escalfament o el martelleig.
- 00:05:00 - 00:10:00
L'explicació continua amb la sèrie de reactivitat química dels metalls, que és una classificació basada en la reactivitat de cadascun. S'explica com els metalls del Grup 1 són més reactius, i es proporcionen exemples com la reactivitat superior del potassi respecte al sodi. També s'inclou com la reactivitat pot deduir-se de la taula periòdica i com els continguts canviants al descendre dins del mateix grup influeixen en la reactivitat.
- 00:10:00 - 00:15:00
Es presenten les reaccions dels metalls amb oxigen, il·lustrant com la combustió de metalls com el magnesi en oxigen produeix òxids metàl·lics, explicant les observacions com la flama intensa i el sòlid blanc resultant. A més, s'introdueix el concepte d'òxids amfòtics que poden actuar com àcids i bases, exemplificant amb el òxid de magnesi. Se segueix amb mètodes de reacció per descobrir masses en laboratoris.
- 00:15:00 - 00:20:00
La reacció dels metalls amb aigua es discuteix detalladament, explicant com elements com el liti i el potassi canvien d'aspecte quan es tallen i s'exposen a l'aire, passant de brillant a apagat. També es detalla el procés de la reacció del sodi amb aigua freda que produeix hidrogen i precisions sobre la flotació del sodi degut a la seva baixa densitat. Les característiques presents se solen comprovar en els laboratoris.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00
La reacció dels metalls amb vapor es combina amb la reacció amb aigua freda per introduir una distinció: els metalls més reactius reaccionen amb aigua freda formant hidròxids, mentre que els menys reactius, com el magnesi, reaccionen amb vapor per formar òxids. Es ressalta que els metalls per sota de l'hidrogen no reaccionen amb l’aigua. Aquesta secció juga un paper clau en l’estudi general de les reaccions químiques de metalls.
- 00:25:00 - 00:30:00
La reacció dels metalls amb àcids es destaca pel fet de formar hidrogen i compostos metàl·lics. S'explica la reactivitat comparativa entre diversos metalls com el magnesi que mostra més bombolles en comparació amb el zinc degut a la seva major reactivitat. Els experiments amb metalls com l’or que no reaccionen es relacionen amb la seva posició per sota de l’hidrogen en la sèrie de reactivitat.
- 00:30:00 - 00:35:00
S'explica el tipus de reaccions de desplaçament, detallant com un metall més reactiu pot desplaçar un menys reactiu del seu compost. Un exemple donat és la reacció entre zinc i sulfat de coure on el zinc desplaça el coure formant subproductes amb distincions visuals com el canvi de color de blau a incolor. També es ressalten les observacions experimentals d’aquests canvis.
- 00:35:00 - 00:40:00
El capítol tracta la oxidació dels metalls o la corrosió, amb un enfocament específic en l’òxid ferrós o òxid hidròxid de ferro que s’observa en la ràpida oxidació en presència d’aigua i oxigen. S’introdueixen els mètodes de prevenció com la galvanització i la protecció sacrificial que protegeixen els objectes metàl·lics de la trituració i corrosió per agents atmosfèrics.
- 00:40:00 - 00:47:03
Finalment, es detallen diferents mètodes per prevenir la corrosió dels metalls, com la galvanització, la qual consisteix en recobrir el ferro amb zinc per evitar l'oxidació, i la protecció sacrificial on un metall més reactiu com el zinc es consumeix abans que el ferro. També s'inclou electroplacatge, que usa corrent elèctric per recobrir els metalls amb diversos elements com la plata.

- 00:00:01okay hello this is chapter 17
- 00:00:03and now we're talking about metals so
- 00:00:05we'll be discussing
- 00:00:06physical and chemical properties of
- 00:00:09metals in order to know that
- 00:00:11we have to remind ourselves about the
- 00:00:13structure of methods so we've done this
- 00:00:15before
- 00:00:16but you should remember that when he's
- 00:00:18out when you're asked to
- 00:00:20explain structure of metals you should
- 00:00:23remember to say that metals have a giant
- 00:00:26three-dimensional structure in which
- 00:00:29regular rows of positive ions are
- 00:00:31surrounded by
- 00:00:32a sea of three moving electrons so we
- 00:00:35said metals basically are solid
- 00:00:37so they are made up of regular rows of
- 00:00:40something now regular rows of what since
- 00:00:43the metals
- 00:00:44each atom has one or two or three
- 00:00:47electrons in its outermost shell because
- 00:00:49we said metals are basically
- 00:00:51in group one group two group three and
- 00:00:53everything in between
- 00:00:56so each atom has one or two or three
- 00:00:58electrons in its outermost shell that it
- 00:01:00really doesn't want
- 00:01:01so these the outermost electrons are
- 00:01:03sort of floating around the atom
- 00:01:06so the atom is no longer a neutral atom
- 00:01:09it is now
- 00:01:10a positive eye so these are arranged in
- 00:01:13regular rows close
- 00:01:15packed like any other solid but they are
- 00:01:17also surrounded by
- 00:01:19a sea of delocalized electrons or free
- 00:01:23moving electrons
- 00:01:24remember that sometimes you will be
- 00:01:26required to draw
- 00:01:28this kind of diagram to show the
- 00:01:30structure of
- 00:01:32methods okay so
- 00:01:35this is a typical question that you
- 00:01:37could have about structure of metals so
- 00:01:39a question could say
- 00:01:40a student draws this label diagram show
- 00:01:43the particles in magnesium metal
- 00:01:45he makes two mistakes in this diagram
- 00:01:48state the two corrections he should make
- 00:01:50to his label line so what's wrong with
- 00:01:52this diagram
- 00:01:53this is a diagram of what of magnesium
- 00:01:56metal
- 00:01:56now metals we just said are what they
- 00:01:59are regular rules of
- 00:02:01positive ions not positive and negative
- 00:02:03positive negative positive negative
- 00:02:05and then they are surrounded by a sea of
- 00:02:07delocalized
- 00:02:09what delocalized electrons so the two
- 00:02:13mistakes in this diagram is that
- 00:02:15first of all the ions should be positive
- 00:02:17not positive and negative
- 00:02:19and the it is surrounded by delocalized
- 00:02:22electrons not protons
- 00:02:26if we're as physical properties of all
- 00:02:29metals you should remember
- 00:02:30all metals conduct electricity all
- 00:02:33metals are malleable and that time
- 00:02:35all metals are shiny these are
- 00:02:38properties of all metals there are no
- 00:02:40exceptions
- 00:02:41so all metals conduct electricity and if
- 00:02:43we say
- 00:02:44why they conduct electricity that is due
- 00:02:46to presence of three moving electrons or
- 00:02:49presence of the delocalized
- 00:02:51electrons that are free to move
- 00:02:55all metals are malleable and doctyle do
- 00:02:57you remember what
- 00:02:58is meant by malleable end of kind we
- 00:03:01said malleable means
- 00:03:02we can spread them into sheets like your
- 00:03:05aluminium foil that we have at home
- 00:03:08end of tile means they can be pulled
- 00:03:11into wires like the coupled wires that
- 00:03:13we have at home
- 00:03:14so all metals are malleable and ductile
- 00:03:18why is that
- 00:03:19because the layers of positive ions that
- 00:03:22are present in the metals can slide
- 00:03:24over each other when heated or hammered
- 00:03:28and of course all metals are shiny and
- 00:03:30if we're asked about the appearance of
- 00:03:32the metals we usually say they are
- 00:03:35silvery appearance or silvery color
- 00:03:40this is another typical question you
- 00:03:42could be asked explain
- 00:03:43why magnesium metal is malleable and a
- 00:03:46good conductor of
- 00:03:48electricity so we said it is what it's a
- 00:03:50good conductor electricity because it
- 00:03:52has
- 00:03:53three moving electrons remember
- 00:03:56the only one that we say free moving
- 00:03:58ions is if i'm talking about an ionic
- 00:04:01compound but this here is a metal so it
- 00:04:04has
- 00:04:04free moving electrons now we said
- 00:04:07methods are malleable because
- 00:04:09layers of positive ions slide over each
- 00:04:11other when heated or hammered
- 00:04:14okay so that was the physical properties
- 00:04:16of metals now if we talk about the
- 00:04:18chemical properties of metals we need to
- 00:04:21talk about
- 00:04:22chemical reactivity series so the
- 00:04:24activity series is
- 00:04:26just an arrangement of metals showing
- 00:04:29which one is more reactive than which
- 00:04:32but even without knowing or memorizing
- 00:04:35the chemical reactivity series
- 00:04:37you can deduce this from the periodic
- 00:04:40table so just looking at the periodic
- 00:04:42table you know
- 00:04:43that everything in group 1 is more
- 00:04:45reactive than group 2
- 00:04:47and group 2 is more reactive than group
- 00:04:493 and group 3 is more reactive than
- 00:04:52transition models so and within the same
- 00:04:55group the one below is more reactive
- 00:04:57than the one above
- 00:04:59so if i say in group one potassium is
- 00:05:02more reactive than sodium so we say
- 00:05:04k and then na in group two we have
- 00:05:08calcium more reactive than magnesium
- 00:05:10because calcium is below mechanism in
- 00:05:12the
- 00:05:13periodic table then we say calcium and
- 00:05:15then magnesium
- 00:05:16and then group three has aluminium now
- 00:05:19we include in the chemical reactivity
- 00:05:21series we include
- 00:05:22carbon and carbon monoxide because we
- 00:05:25are going to compare the reactivity at
- 00:05:27some point
- 00:05:28later when we discuss it and then we go
- 00:05:31into
- 00:05:32the transition methods which is more
- 00:05:34reactive than which in the transition
- 00:05:36methods
- 00:05:36zinc is more reactive than iron more
- 00:05:38reactive than tin
- 00:05:40remember that the chemical reactivity
- 00:05:41series includes the metals that
- 00:05:43are normally used in reactions so
- 00:05:46some of the the metals in the periodic
- 00:05:49table are not
- 00:05:50usually used in reactions but the
- 00:05:53chemical reactivity series arranges the
- 00:05:55reactivity of the ones that we
- 00:05:57normally discuss and then we put
- 00:06:00hydrogen but
- 00:06:01also because we're going to compare the
- 00:06:03reactivity of metals to hydrogen at some
- 00:06:06point and then below hydrogen we have
- 00:06:08the metals that are not very reactive
- 00:06:11so we have copper silver and gold these
- 00:06:14are
- 00:06:14below hydrogen in the reactivity series
- 00:06:18so
- 00:06:18this is the chemical reactivity series
- 00:06:21cana canada
- 00:06:23zinc iron tin and then copper silver
- 00:06:26gold
- 00:06:27if you don't memorize it check in the
- 00:06:29periodic table as i told you
- 00:06:37okay then we talk about the different
- 00:06:40reactions of methods this is what we
- 00:06:42mean by chemical properties of matter so
- 00:06:44first of all
- 00:06:45reaction of metals with oxygen so if i
- 00:06:48have a gas
- 00:06:48jar like the one in the diagram and i
- 00:06:52have a gas jar
- 00:06:53spoon and i put the metal in the spoon
- 00:06:55lower it
- 00:06:56into the gas jar light it allowed to
- 00:06:59burn
- 00:06:59in oxygen any metal will react with
- 00:07:03oxygen to form
- 00:07:04its oxide so sodium from sodium oxide
- 00:07:08magnesium forms magnesium oxide and of
- 00:07:11course we said
- 00:07:12the reactivity depends on the
- 00:07:16position in the group the one below in
- 00:07:18the group
- 00:07:19is more reactive than the one above you
- 00:07:22have to know
- 00:07:23that when we burn magnesium in air or
- 00:07:26magnesium and oxygen
- 00:07:27first of all what does it give you it
- 00:07:29gives magnesium oxide
- 00:07:31now what are the observations when i do
- 00:07:34this kind of reaction
- 00:07:37remember that the observation is when
- 00:07:39magnesium burns
- 00:07:40it burns with a bright flame or a white
- 00:07:44flame and then it forms what it forms
- 00:07:47magnesium oxide you should know that
- 00:07:49magnesium oxide is
- 00:07:51a white solid or white
- 00:07:54ash okay um
- 00:07:57you should also remember when we talked
- 00:07:59about acids and bases we said that
- 00:08:01oxides of
- 00:08:02metals are usually basic that means if
- 00:08:05you dissolve them in water they form an
- 00:08:07alkaline solution that contains
- 00:08:09hydroxide
- 00:08:10ions but we also said that some metals
- 00:08:13have
- 00:08:14amphoteric oxide you remember the mean
- 00:08:16of amphoteric
- 00:08:17we said amphoteric oxide is one that can
- 00:08:20act
- 00:08:21both as an acid so it will react with
- 00:08:23the base
- 00:08:24or as a base so it will react with acid
- 00:08:28and remember from the chapter in acids
- 00:08:30and business we said which ones form
- 00:08:32amphoteric oxides
- 00:08:34aluminium zinc and blood form amphoteric
- 00:08:37oxide so aluminum brings in oxygen to
- 00:08:39the aluminium oxide
- 00:08:41now this aluminum oxide can react with
- 00:08:43acid
- 00:08:44so in this case it's acting as a base
- 00:08:46and that forms aluminium chloride plus
- 00:08:48water
- 00:08:49so it still forms a salt plus water
- 00:08:53or it can act as an acid so it reacts
- 00:08:55with a base like sodium hydroxide in
- 00:08:57that case the salt is something called
- 00:09:00sodium aluminate plus water
- 00:09:05this is another question that you might
- 00:09:06have so you could be asked
- 00:09:09this question a student uses this
- 00:09:11apparatus to find the mass of magnesium
- 00:09:13oxide
- 00:09:14that forms when a strip of magnesium
- 00:09:16ribbon is burned in air
- 00:09:18so usually this kind of experiments we
- 00:09:20put the metal inside the crucible
- 00:09:22and we cover it with a lid and we heat
- 00:09:25it so the metal turns it
- 00:09:27into its oxide and then i can wait or i
- 00:09:30weigh the crucible and bleed at the
- 00:09:31beginning and then
- 00:09:32wait at the end and things like that
- 00:09:36now the first question that you have
- 00:09:37here says describe the appearance of the
- 00:09:39freshly cleaned
- 00:09:41magnesium ribbon and the appearance of
- 00:09:43the magnesium oxide that forms
- 00:09:45magnesium ribbon is a metal we said what
- 00:09:48is the appearance of a metal
- 00:09:51the appearance of a metal is silvery
- 00:09:53okay what was magnesium oxide what was
- 00:09:56the appearance of magnesium oxide
- 00:09:58you have to remember it's a white solid
- 00:10:00or white
- 00:10:01ash explain why the student lifts the
- 00:10:04lid and quickly replaces it several
- 00:10:06times during the experiment
- 00:10:08so when we do this kind of experiment
- 00:10:10first of all i have to cover it i cannot
- 00:10:12leave it open to the air
- 00:10:13and then after some time i need to
- 00:10:16remove the lid
- 00:10:17open the lid and then close it again
- 00:10:18open the lid and close it again
- 00:10:20so what am i doing why why am i doing
- 00:10:23this
- 00:10:23i i lift the lid from time to time
- 00:10:26remember that the magnesium is trying to
- 00:10:28react with what
- 00:10:30it's trying to react with oxygen so at
- 00:10:32some point i don't want it to run out of
- 00:10:34oxygen so i open the lid to allow more
- 00:10:37oxygen to react to the magnesium
- 00:10:39now why do i have to cover it can't i
- 00:10:41just leave it open
- 00:10:42no because we said what is formed is
- 00:10:44magnesium oxide
- 00:10:46and the magnesium oxide is white ash
- 00:10:49that can
- 00:10:50escape from the crucible so this is to
- 00:10:52prevent loss of the product
- 00:10:54from the crystal this is another
- 00:10:58possible question that you might be
- 00:10:59asked
- 00:11:00lithium is stored in oil to prevent it
- 00:11:02from coming into contact with air and
- 00:11:04water remember this
- 00:11:06that metals in group 1 are very reactive
- 00:11:11when they are exposed to air and
- 00:11:15or water they react very quickly so when
- 00:11:17i store them
- 00:11:18they have to be stored under oil so
- 00:11:20things like lithium and sodium and
- 00:11:23potassium
- 00:11:24if we store them in the lab they have to
- 00:11:25be stored under
- 00:11:27oil this is to prevent them from
- 00:11:29reacting with the
- 00:11:31oxygen and water vapor there so the
- 00:11:33question says when a piece of lithium is
- 00:11:35removed from the oil dried and cut
- 00:11:38the exposed surface so remember that
- 00:11:42the x i cut the lithium this is a method
- 00:11:45in group one and you
- 00:11:46remember that methods in group one are
- 00:11:48soft metals so you can cut them with a
- 00:11:51knife
- 00:11:52now once you cut them the the
- 00:11:55surface of the metal is just like any
- 00:11:58surface of a metal so that is shiny but
- 00:12:00if i leave it exposed to the air what
- 00:12:03happens
- 00:12:05it will react with the oxygen water
- 00:12:07vapor in the air and it will change from
- 00:12:09shiny to double okay it will not form
- 00:12:13bubbles because it's not reacting with
- 00:12:15something to be the gas
- 00:12:16it will not burst into flames this is
- 00:12:19not
- 00:12:20uh this is not cesium or
- 00:12:23potassium remember that lithium is at
- 00:12:25the the top of
- 00:12:27group 1 so it is less reactive than
- 00:12:30seasonal potassium since you might burst
- 00:12:32into flame but lithium will not
- 00:12:34does not change that's not a correct
- 00:12:36answer so your answer is changes from
- 00:12:38shiny
- 00:12:39to that okay
- 00:12:42now let's try talking about reaction
- 00:12:45with
- 00:12:46cold water so here we're talking about
- 00:12:48reaction of sodium with cold water
- 00:12:51if you put a piece of sodium it has to
- 00:12:54be actually a very small piece of sodium
- 00:12:56into a beaker containing water what
- 00:12:59happens
- 00:13:00first of all if i look at the reaction
- 00:13:02i'm going to say that sodium is a
- 00:13:03reactive metal so it reacts with cold
- 00:13:06water and i'm going to tell you that
- 00:13:09any metal that reacts with cold water
- 00:13:12gives
- 00:13:13the hydroxide plus hydrogen gas so
- 00:13:16sodium in water will give sodium
- 00:13:18hydroxide plus hydrogen
- 00:13:21gas now what do we see when we put this
- 00:13:23piece of sodium
- 00:13:25in the water first of all sodium is in
- 00:13:27group one
- 00:13:28it it has low density so it floats
- 00:13:32on the surface of the water now when it
- 00:13:35floats it is
- 00:13:36reacting with the water and giving out
- 00:13:38bubbles of hydrogen gas
- 00:13:40so these bubbles of hydrogen gas will
- 00:13:42keep pushing the sodium around on the
- 00:13:44surface of the water so we say that the
- 00:13:46sodium floats
- 00:13:48darts darts means moves around on the
- 00:13:50surface of the water
- 00:13:52and then it melts or disappears because
- 00:13:54it is going to react and it will become
- 00:13:57smaller until it disappears
- 00:13:59also the bubbles of gas that i'm giving
- 00:14:01out are
- 00:14:02hydrogen gas so you you will see
- 00:14:05vigorous
- 00:14:06fizzing or bubbles of gases are coming
- 00:14:09out very
- 00:14:10quickly now the gases is coming out is
- 00:14:13hydrogen gas and hydrogen gas
- 00:14:15is flammable so the bubbles of hydrogen
- 00:14:17gas
- 00:14:18may catch fire if we want a
- 00:14:21fourth observation remember that these
- 00:14:23are the three most important
- 00:14:24observations and he will ask you
- 00:14:27what are the observations when sodium
- 00:14:29react with cold water
- 00:14:31a fourth observation would be the fact
- 00:14:33that one because it gives sodium
- 00:14:35hydroxide
- 00:14:36as a product then the solution is
- 00:14:39alkaline and that means if i put litmus
- 00:14:42paper what happens
- 00:14:44the solution turns litmus paper
- 00:14:47to blue because the solution is alkaline
- 00:14:52okay you have to know the observations
- 00:14:55when we put sodium in cold water
- 00:14:57so this is a typical question an example
- 00:15:00of a question would be
- 00:15:01a teacher investigates the reaction
- 00:15:03between sodium and water the teacher
- 00:15:05fills a trough of water
- 00:15:07she adds a few drops of litmus solution
- 00:15:09to the water and then adds
- 00:15:10a piece of sodium so she's doing the
- 00:15:13experiment that we just talked about
- 00:15:14the sodium floats on the water yes we
- 00:15:17said that
- 00:15:18it reacts with the water and produces
- 00:15:20bubbles of hydrogen gas
- 00:15:21yes that's correct now he's asking you
- 00:15:23to state two
- 00:15:25other observations that are made so what
- 00:15:27were the
- 00:15:28other two observations he has already
- 00:15:30said floats
- 00:15:32he has already said bubbles or fizzing
- 00:15:35so you can't say
- 00:15:36fizzing so you can say the sodium darts
- 00:15:39and
- 00:15:40melts and the litmus solution because he
- 00:15:43says that he has
- 00:15:44litmus solution in the water the litmus
- 00:15:46solution turns
- 00:15:48blue okay this is another typical
- 00:15:51question that you may be asked to
- 00:15:52balance the equation for the reaction
- 00:15:54between sodium and water
- 00:15:56include state symbols what is the state
- 00:15:59symbol for sodium
- 00:16:01sodium is a metal so it's solid what was
- 00:16:03the state symbol for water
- 00:16:05we said water is always a liquid sodium
- 00:16:08hydroxide is something that dissolves in
- 00:16:10the water so that is
- 00:16:12aqueous and hydrogen is a gas and then
- 00:16:16you need to balance
- 00:16:17can you understand how to balance you
- 00:16:19should know how to balance so one sodium
- 00:16:21before the arrow one sodium after the
- 00:16:23other two hydrogens before the arrow
- 00:16:25three hydrogens after the other so that
- 00:16:28means that i need to put
- 00:16:29a two in front of the water and the two
- 00:16:32in front of the
- 00:16:33sodium hydroxide that's i that makes it
- 00:16:36four hydrogens
- 00:16:38but that has ruined the sodium so the
- 00:16:40sodium
- 00:16:41needs a two in front of it now
- 00:16:43everything is balanced
- 00:16:46remember do not leave an equation
- 00:16:48without balancing even if he doesn't
- 00:16:50tell you to balance
- 00:16:51lithium and potassium react in a similar
- 00:16:53way to sodium when added to water
- 00:16:56state why they have a similar reaction
- 00:16:58in terms of electronic configurations of
- 00:17:01their atoms
- 00:17:02so what is common between lithium
- 00:17:04potassium and sodium that makes them
- 00:17:06react in a similar way
- 00:17:08in terms of electronic configuration
- 00:17:10electronic configuration means
- 00:17:12in terms of the arrangement of the
- 00:17:13electrons so the fact that they have
- 00:17:16all of them have one electron and outer
- 00:17:18shell because they are all in group one
- 00:17:21so they all react in the same way now
- 00:17:24place the elements lithium potassium and
- 00:17:26sodium in order of
- 00:17:28reactivity do you remember the activity
- 00:17:31if you don't remember the reactivity
- 00:17:33series you can just check the periodic
- 00:17:35table
- 00:17:35you will find that potassium is in the
- 00:17:38is at the bottom
- 00:17:39sodium lithium and we said the one at
- 00:17:41the bottom
- 00:17:42is the most reactive so potassium sodium
- 00:17:45lithium that is the arrangement of the
- 00:17:47reactant
- 00:17:50okay another possible question the table
- 00:17:53below lists some statements about the
- 00:17:55reaction of caesium with cold water
- 00:17:57compared to the reaction of lithium with
- 00:17:59cold water
- 00:18:01so he's comparing lithium to cesium
- 00:18:03remember we said where is caesium
- 00:18:05caesium is at the bottom of the of the
- 00:18:08group one
- 00:18:08in the periodic table so which one would
- 00:18:11be more reactive the lithium or the
- 00:18:13season
- 00:18:14of course cesium is at the bottom of the
- 00:18:16periodic of the
- 00:18:17uh group one in the periodic table so
- 00:18:20cesium should be more reactive than
- 00:18:23lithium so he's saying i'm comparing
- 00:18:26caesium to the reaction of lithium
- 00:18:30the first choice is the reaction with
- 00:18:32caesium is more
- 00:18:33vigorous is that correct yes of course
- 00:18:36it is correct
- 00:18:37because caesium is more reactive since
- 00:18:39it is at the bottom of the
- 00:18:41table one the first
- 00:18:45group the reaction with cesium produces
- 00:18:47a different
- 00:18:48gas is that correct no all of them all
- 00:18:51the metals will react with cold water to
- 00:18:54form
- 00:18:55hydrogen gas the reaction with
- 00:18:59so uh cesium produces an acidic solution
- 00:19:01no
- 00:19:02we said what is formed when you act with
- 00:19:04cold water is caesium hydroxide
- 00:19:07and that's alkali not acidity the
- 00:19:09reaction with sediment produces a
- 00:19:10different compound
- 00:19:13yes of course because cesium will give
- 00:19:15you caesium hydroxide why lithium will
- 00:19:18give lithium hydroxyl
- 00:19:20the reaction of caesium is endothermic
- 00:19:22do you remember what we mean by
- 00:19:23endothermic
- 00:19:25endothermic means you need to heat it in
- 00:19:27order to react it takes in heat
- 00:19:30or is it exothermic it gives out heat no
- 00:19:33reaction of season with water is not
- 00:19:35endothermic it is
- 00:19:36exothermic now the next question says
- 00:19:39write a chemical equation for the
- 00:19:40reaction of season with
- 00:19:42water again we said season with water
- 00:19:45because this is
- 00:19:46cold water it will form caesium
- 00:19:48hydroxide plus
- 00:19:50hydrogen and then you balance in this
- 00:19:53way
- 00:19:54okay reaction of calcium with
- 00:19:57cold water so calcium if it reacts with
- 00:20:00cold water it will give exactly the same
- 00:20:02it will give calcium hydroxide
- 00:20:05plus hydrogen so what am i going to see
- 00:20:08now in this case
- 00:20:10calcium is in group 2 so it is heavier
- 00:20:13than water it is denser than water so it
- 00:20:15will sink
- 00:20:16so my first observation is that calcium
- 00:20:19will sink not float like sodium
- 00:20:22but it will still give hydrogen gas so i
- 00:20:24will still have strong
- 00:20:26fizzing and the solution becomes milky
- 00:20:29because the calcium hydroxide that is
- 00:20:31formed is not very soluble in water
- 00:20:34so slowly and forming some sort of white
- 00:20:37precipitate so that makes the solution
- 00:20:40milky or cloudy
- 00:20:43now when we go to the less reactive
- 00:20:45metals because magnesium is less
- 00:20:47reactive than the
- 00:20:48calcium it will not react with cold
- 00:20:51water easily
- 00:20:53if i put it in cold water the reaction
- 00:20:55is too slow
- 00:20:57it will still give magnesium hydroxide
- 00:20:59if it's reacting with cold water but it
- 00:21:00is very
- 00:21:01slow now if i want the reaction to be
- 00:21:04quick i have to heat it that means the
- 00:21:06water
- 00:21:07has to be in the form of steam so i heat
- 00:21:10the water soaked cotton wall the
- 00:21:12water vapor or the steam passes
- 00:21:15over the magnesium ribbon that has been
- 00:21:19heated
- 00:21:20again remember that the magnesium when
- 00:21:22it is heated it burns with a bright
- 00:21:24flame and then what is formed magnesium
- 00:21:28oxide not hydroxide
- 00:21:31so a metal that reacts with cold water
- 00:21:34gives the hydroxide
- 00:21:36a metal that reacts with steam will give
- 00:21:39the oxide magnesium oxide plus hydrogen
- 00:21:42so again my observations would be
- 00:21:45that magnesium burns with a bright flame
- 00:21:47magnesium oxide is a white solid so a
- 00:21:50white solid is formed
- 00:21:51and hydrogen gas is formed which burns
- 00:21:54or we have bubbles of
- 00:21:55hydrogen when zinc reacts with steam
- 00:21:59again zinc is less reactive so it does
- 00:22:02not react with cold water it reacts with
- 00:22:05steam and we said when a metal reacts
- 00:22:07with steam it forms
- 00:22:09the oxide so this forms zinc oxide
- 00:22:12plus hydrogen so any metal that will
- 00:22:15react
- 00:22:15with cold water forms hydroxide so this
- 00:22:19is the ones in group one and the bottom
- 00:22:21of group two
- 00:22:23react with cold water to give hydroxide
- 00:22:27the less reactive metals like group 3
- 00:22:31and the transition metals they react
- 00:22:34with steam
- 00:22:36but when they react with steam they form
- 00:22:39the oxide
- 00:22:40not the hydroxide okay
- 00:22:44remember that metals below
- 00:22:47hydrogen in the peri in the
- 00:22:49electrochemical series
- 00:22:50metals that are less reactive than
- 00:22:52hydrogen will not react with water at
- 00:22:55all
- 00:22:55so if i put copper in water it does not
- 00:22:58react
- 00:22:58at all okay metals with acid
- 00:23:03so metal with acid gives
- 00:23:06hydrogen gas plus a salt depending on
- 00:23:09which metal
- 00:23:10so something like magnesium plus hcl
- 00:23:12will give hydrogen gas and anything that
- 00:23:14gives a gas
- 00:23:15gives bubbles of gas now the more
- 00:23:17reactive the metal the more the bubbles
- 00:23:20so for example magnesium is more
- 00:23:22reactive than zinc so the bubbles that i
- 00:23:24see
- 00:23:24when i react the acid with magnesium is
- 00:23:27much more than the ones
- 00:23:29formed um when we react it with
- 00:23:32zinc now if i put copper in acid
- 00:23:36no reaction no bubbles at all again
- 00:23:39remember copper is below hydrogen in the
- 00:23:42reactivity series so it does not react
- 00:23:45with water
- 00:23:46it does not react with acids you can't
- 00:23:49say copper plus an acid
- 00:23:52so a typical question give two
- 00:23:54observations that are made when a piece
- 00:23:56of magnesium ribbon is added to
- 00:23:58acidic solution so you put magnesium in
- 00:24:00acid
- 00:24:01what two observations would you see
- 00:24:04again
- 00:24:04we said if i put magnesium in acid like
- 00:24:07hcl for example it gives
- 00:24:09a hydrogen gas right so what i see would
- 00:24:12be bubbles of glass now what's the other
- 00:24:14observation
- 00:24:15the other observation is that the
- 00:24:17magnesium as a solid that i put into the
- 00:24:19acid eventually it will start to
- 00:24:21dissolve or it will
- 00:24:23disappear or it will become smaller
- 00:24:26okay so we say the magnesium solid
- 00:24:28dissolves or
- 00:24:31disappears or becomes
- 00:24:36another possible question that you could
- 00:24:38see would say something like this
- 00:24:40magnesium is a reactive metal
- 00:24:42its reactivity can be seen in its
- 00:24:44reactions with oxygen dilute sulfuric
- 00:24:46acid
- 00:24:47and he gives you two reactions one with
- 00:24:50oxygen to give magnesium oxide
- 00:24:52and one with sulfuric acid to give
- 00:24:54magnesium sulfate plus
- 00:24:56hydrogen so the first question says in
- 00:24:59reaction one some magnesium is ignited
- 00:25:01and then placed in a jar of oxygen gas
- 00:25:04state two observations that will be made
- 00:25:06we said what are the observations that
- 00:25:09we see
- 00:25:10when we burn magnesium in oxygen
- 00:25:13again we said the magnesium burns with a
- 00:25:16bright flame
- 00:25:17and a white solid is formed because
- 00:25:20magnesium oxide is a white solid
- 00:25:24the other question is a possible
- 00:25:27question that you could have
- 00:25:29in an experiment a student adds a piece
- 00:25:31of zinc to some dilute hydrochloric acid
- 00:25:33in a test tube so it has a piece of zinc
- 00:25:36in diabetes
- 00:25:38the student measures the temperature
- 00:25:39before adding the zinc
- 00:25:41after adding the zinc he stairs the
- 00:25:43mixture measures the highest temperature
- 00:25:45and then he wants to find out if there
- 00:25:47is a relationship between the activity
- 00:25:49of a metal and the temperature rise
- 00:25:51so he repeats the experiment four times
- 00:25:53using a different metal each time so
- 00:25:55basically
- 00:25:56he's putting different methods into the
- 00:25:59acid
- 00:25:59measuring the initial temperature and
- 00:26:01the final temperature so he can
- 00:26:03determine how much rise
- 00:26:05in temperature there was okay
- 00:26:08so state three factors that the student
- 00:26:11should keep constants in each
- 00:26:12experiment so what the what should he he
- 00:26:15should be changing
- 00:26:16only the type of metal
- 00:26:20but he shouldn't be changing what he
- 00:26:22shouldn't be changing the surface area
- 00:26:23of the metal
- 00:26:24the concentration of the acid the volume
- 00:26:27of the acid remember the surface area of
- 00:26:29the metal means i shouldn't use
- 00:26:31uh one metal in the form of big pieces
- 00:26:33and the other matter in the form of
- 00:26:34powder for example they should be the
- 00:26:36same
- 00:26:37surface area and they should be the same
- 00:26:39mass of the metal
- 00:26:41so you can either say same surface area
- 00:26:43of metal
- 00:26:44say mass of metal and then the acid
- 00:26:46should have the same volume the same
- 00:26:48concentration
- 00:26:50using information from the table state
- 00:26:52the relationship between reactivity of a
- 00:26:54metal and
- 00:26:55temperature rise so what was the table
- 00:26:57this was the table
- 00:26:59so magnesium gold iron calcium
- 00:27:03what type of reactivity or what is the
- 00:27:06arrangement of reactivity of these
- 00:27:08muscles you should realize that we said
- 00:27:10calcium is more reactive than magnesium
- 00:27:13and then this these are more reactive
- 00:27:15than iron
- 00:27:16and then gold was at the bottom of the
- 00:27:18reactivity series and we said it's
- 00:27:21not very reactive so when they put it in
- 00:27:24acids they found that the more reactive
- 00:27:27metal is the one that gives
- 00:27:28higher temperature so remember that more
- 00:27:32reactivity
- 00:27:33is indicated by what is indicated by
- 00:27:36more bubbles of gas or by more
- 00:27:39rise in temperature so the more reactive
- 00:27:42the metal the greater the temperature
- 00:27:44rise
- 00:27:45states why there is no temperature rise
- 00:27:47when gold is added
- 00:27:48since there is no temperature rise this
- 00:27:50means that gold does not react with
- 00:27:53the acid another typical question that
- 00:27:56you could see would say the diagram
- 00:27:58shows how a student attempts to prepare
- 00:28:00some hydrogen gas
- 00:28:02state why no hydrogen is produced look
- 00:28:04at the
- 00:28:05diagram and tell me why do you think he
- 00:28:06didn't get any gas
- 00:28:09if he didn't get any gas that is just
- 00:28:11because
- 00:28:12the silver did not react and why doesn't
- 00:28:15it react
- 00:28:16because it is below hydrogen in the
- 00:28:18reactivity
- 00:28:19series so he's reacting it with silver
- 00:28:22remember that we said
- 00:28:23anything below hydrogen in the
- 00:28:25reactivity series
- 00:28:26will not react with water
- 00:28:30or acid so the what which metals do we
- 00:28:33have below the reactivity series we have
- 00:28:36copper silver gold and we also have
- 00:28:39mercury at some
- 00:28:40point so silver does not react with
- 00:28:43acids because
- 00:28:44it is below hydrogen or it is less
- 00:28:46reactive than
- 00:28:47hydrogen which of these pairs of
- 00:28:49chemicals could be used to
- 00:28:50safely prepare hydrogen
- 00:28:54to prepare hydrogen that means they have
- 00:28:56to react with the acid to form
- 00:28:58hydrogen and i don't want it to be too
- 00:29:00vigorous because he wants it safe
- 00:29:03so the first option here a
- 00:29:06says copper and acid remember that we
- 00:29:08said both copper and gold
- 00:29:11and silver are below hydrogen in the
- 00:29:14electrochemical series
- 00:29:16or the reactivity series so they will
- 00:29:18not react with
- 00:29:20acids or with water now that means i
- 00:29:23have a choice between potassium and
- 00:29:26zinc but potassium is in group 1 it is a
- 00:29:30very reactive metal if i put it in
- 00:29:32acid it will sort of explode or very
- 00:29:36violent reaction zinc reacts
- 00:29:39but it's not violent so that would be
- 00:29:42our
- 00:29:42choice okay
- 00:29:46the other type of reactions that we have
- 00:29:48are displacement reactions a
- 00:29:50displacement reaction means
- 00:29:52a more reactive metal will push the less
- 00:29:55reactive metal out of its salt
- 00:29:58so if i have zinc plus copper sulfate
- 00:30:01if i have a reaction that means that
- 00:30:04zinc is more reactive than coupling
- 00:30:06if we do this for two metals
- 00:30:09and they don't react that means that
- 00:30:12zinc
- 00:30:12is not or is less reactive than copper
- 00:30:15so when i put zinc in copper sulfate it
- 00:30:18will react
- 00:30:19because zinc is more reactive than
- 00:30:21copper what does it give me it gives me
- 00:30:23zinc sulfate plus copper now can you see
- 00:30:27the original color of copper sulfate you
- 00:30:29should know that
- 00:30:30the original color of copper sulfate
- 00:30:31solution is blue
- 00:30:34but zinc sulfate is colorless so
- 00:30:38one observation that you would see is
- 00:30:40that the fact that the blue color of
- 00:30:41copper sulfate
- 00:30:43changes to colorless also i started with
- 00:30:46zinc solid and the zinc
- 00:30:47reacted in the copper sulfate so at some
- 00:30:50point the zinc will dissolve or
- 00:30:52start to disappear or become smaller
- 00:30:55and then we're forming what we're
- 00:30:57forming copper copper metal you should
- 00:30:59remember copper metal is
- 00:31:01the red or reddish brown metal
- 00:31:04so when it forms copper it forms a red
- 00:31:06precipitate
- 00:31:07in the test tube can you see that so
- 00:31:10these are the observations when you put
- 00:31:12zinc in copper sulfate now
- 00:31:15another example of a displacement
- 00:31:18reaction would be magnesium plus copper
- 00:31:20carbonate magnesium is more reactive
- 00:31:22than copper so it will displace it from
- 00:31:24its soles
- 00:31:25the copper carbonate is originally a
- 00:31:28green color
- 00:31:30when it changes into magnesium carbonate
- 00:31:33it is now a compound
- 00:31:34of group two compounds of group two have
- 00:31:36no color
- 00:31:37so the solution becomes colorless and i
- 00:31:40will start to see a reddish precipitate
- 00:31:43of
- 00:31:43copper okay a typical question
- 00:31:47let's take a look at what type of
- 00:31:48question we have
- 00:31:53so here he says in an experiment a piece
- 00:31:55of zinc metal is placed in a beaker
- 00:31:57containing copper sulfate so he was
- 00:31:59talking about the ex he
- 00:32:00here he's talking about the reaction
- 00:32:02between zinc and capacitor fate
- 00:32:04the reaction that occurs shows zinc is
- 00:32:06more reactive than copper
- 00:32:08state to observation so what are two
- 00:32:10observations that i will see
- 00:32:12when i put zinc in copper sulfate
- 00:32:15we said the original color of copper
- 00:32:17surface is what
- 00:32:19blue so we said the blue solution turns
- 00:32:22colorless
- 00:32:23and the zinc metal begins to dissolve or
- 00:32:26disappear
- 00:32:27the diagram shows two ways in which
- 00:32:29potassium can be converted into
- 00:32:31potassium chloride
- 00:32:33give the names of x y and z
- 00:32:36so let's take a look at this flow chart
- 00:32:38it starts with potassium
- 00:32:41he heats it in gas x to form potassium
- 00:32:45chloride
- 00:32:46so which gas do i react with potassium
- 00:32:50to form potassium chloride
- 00:32:53i need okay
- 00:32:56okay then he says he added water to
- 00:32:59potassium
- 00:33:00and he got a colorless solution of wine
- 00:33:03what happens if i add
- 00:33:04water to potassium we said potassium is
- 00:33:07a reactive metal it reacts with cold
- 00:33:09water
- 00:33:10so what i form would be potassium
- 00:33:12hydroxide
- 00:33:15and then this potassium hydroxide he
- 00:33:17wants to react it with an acid
- 00:33:19to form potassium chloride which acid
- 00:33:22should i
- 00:33:22add to potassium hydroxide to form
- 00:33:25potassium chloride
- 00:33:28hydrochloric acid the acid that has
- 00:33:31chlorine in it
- 00:33:32and notice that the question said give
- 00:33:35the names of these so i have to write
- 00:33:38the names of these
- 00:33:40you shouldn't write the formulas and if
- 00:33:42you do decide to write formula please
- 00:33:45write the correct
- 00:33:46formula but if he says name give him
- 00:33:48name when sodium is burned in iodine gas
- 00:33:51sodium iodide is formed
- 00:33:53write a chemical equation for the
- 00:33:54reaction between sodium and
- 00:33:56iodine so i'm going to write a chemical
- 00:33:59reaction
- 00:34:00sodium plus iv to give what it should
- 00:34:03give sodium iodide sodium has a valency
- 00:34:05of one and iodine has a valency of one
- 00:34:07so i don't write it two
- 00:34:09under any of them have i finished
- 00:34:13no i have to balance the equation
- 00:34:16even if he doesn't say balance a
- 00:34:18chemical equation means it has to be
- 00:34:20balanced
- 00:34:20so you need a two to make the two
- 00:34:22iodines
- 00:34:24and a two henna to fix the surgery
- 00:34:27okay the next thing we're talking about
- 00:34:31is rusting of iron
- 00:34:32remember that iron when you expose it
- 00:34:36iron is originally silver in color so
- 00:34:38this
- 00:34:39nice clean chain on the right side is
- 00:34:43a clean iron that is that hasn't trusted
- 00:34:46but when you expose it to the atmosphere
- 00:34:50it turns into reddish brown as we can
- 00:34:54see
- 00:34:55so this is called rust this reddish
- 00:34:57brown cover
- 00:34:58on the iron is called rust if we're
- 00:35:01talking about iron we call it rust if
- 00:35:03we're talking about any other metal we
- 00:35:05call it
- 00:35:06corrosion of eye of of the metal so
- 00:35:09all metals corrode corrode means they
- 00:35:11react with
- 00:35:13water and oxygen in the air
- 00:35:16but when we are talking about iron we
- 00:35:18can say corrosion of iron or
- 00:35:20rusting of iron we don't say rusting of
- 00:35:22any other metal
- 00:35:24now what do we need for the iron to
- 00:35:27rust or for the iron to corrode we can
- 00:35:30have an experiment like this in which we
- 00:35:32have
- 00:35:32males and we have them in different
- 00:35:34things so when they put names in
- 00:35:36distilled water
- 00:35:38and you should remember that distilled
- 00:35:39water means water that has
- 00:35:41oxygen dissolved in it any normal water
- 00:35:44that we have
- 00:35:45has a little bit of oxygen dissolved in
- 00:35:47it so when we put the nails in distilled
- 00:35:50water the nails rust
- 00:35:53distilled water contains both water and
- 00:35:55oxygen
- 00:35:56now if i put the nails in boiled
- 00:35:59water now what is boiled water boiled
- 00:36:01water is water
- 00:36:02that i have boiled so all the oxygen
- 00:36:05dissolved in it has escaped
- 00:36:07when you boil the water they dissolve
- 00:36:09the gases go out
- 00:36:10so dissolve the oxygen has gone out it
- 00:36:12doesn't have any dissolved oxygen and
- 00:36:14i'm covering it with a layer of oil to
- 00:36:16make sure that no more oxygen
- 00:36:18dissolves in it now when we put the
- 00:36:20nails in the boiled water that means i
- 00:36:22don't have any oxygen
- 00:36:24i find that the nails will not rust now
- 00:36:27if i put the nails in another test tube
- 00:36:29that contain
- 00:36:30anhydrous calcium chloride you should
- 00:36:32remember that anhydrous calcium chloride
- 00:36:35is
- 00:36:35something that absorbs water vapor from
- 00:36:38the air
- 00:36:39so basically this test tube has no water
- 00:36:42and if i leave the nails in this test
- 00:36:45tube
- 00:36:46the nails will not rust
- 00:36:49if we put the nails in sea water now
- 00:36:52what is sea water sea water has
- 00:36:54water and oxygen and soils so
- 00:36:57i will find that in sea water in the
- 00:36:59presence of salts or
- 00:37:01sometimes in the presence of acid the
- 00:37:03nails will
- 00:37:04rust very quickly so it's
- 00:37:08salt makes the nails rust quickly
- 00:37:11so what does the iron basically need in
- 00:37:14order to rust
- 00:37:15the iron needs both water and oxygen
- 00:37:18if you're missing any of them then the
- 00:37:20nails do not trust
- 00:37:22so the iron requires both water
- 00:37:25and oxygen in order to rust now what is
- 00:37:28rust
- 00:37:28rusting means that the iron changes into
- 00:37:32iron iii oxide or actually it is
- 00:37:35hydrated
- 00:37:37iron iii oxide which is the reddish
- 00:37:40brown
- 00:37:40flaky uh cover on the
- 00:37:43on the iron so what is rust
- 00:37:47it is hydrated iron iii oxide that means
- 00:37:50the iron is changing to iron oxide and
- 00:37:53that means that this
- 00:37:55rusting or corrosion is actually an
- 00:37:58oxidation process right
- 00:38:01and then if we say what is the
- 00:38:03appearance of rust rust is reddish brown
- 00:38:05and flaky what do you mean by flaky
- 00:38:08flaky means it can
- 00:38:09peel off it can fall off so this piece
- 00:38:12of nail if i leave it
- 00:38:14for a long time the rust that forms on
- 00:38:17it can
- 00:38:18peel off and if the nails are left long
- 00:38:21enough they will eventually just change
- 00:38:23into
- 00:38:24a red brown powder because all of the
- 00:38:27rust
- 00:38:27peels off okay so
- 00:38:31what do we do to prevent trusting i
- 00:38:33don't want my
- 00:38:34iron objects to rust
- 00:38:37so what should i do the first thing that
- 00:38:40we normally do or the easiest thing that
- 00:38:42we normally do
- 00:38:43is painting so if i have railings these
- 00:38:47are railings the ones that we
- 00:38:49hold on when we go down the stairs or
- 00:38:52gates iron gates or windows
- 00:38:56the normal thing that we do is paint now
- 00:38:59painting
- 00:39:00what does painting do painting covers
- 00:39:03the iron
- 00:39:04so that it prevents it from reacting
- 00:39:06with oxygen and water vapor in the air
- 00:39:09but the problem with that is if the
- 00:39:11layer of paint is peeled off
- 00:39:13or scraped off that piece of iron or
- 00:39:16that
- 00:39:17part of the iron will again start to
- 00:39:19rust
- 00:39:20so it is something that has to be done a
- 00:39:23lot
- 00:39:23another method of preventing
- 00:39:27rusting would be to coat with oil and
- 00:39:29grease when do we use coating of oil and
- 00:39:31grease we use it when we're talking
- 00:39:33about machines
- 00:39:34so if i have a machine in which i don't
- 00:39:37want these pieces of iron
- 00:39:38to rust or if there's a lot of friction
- 00:39:41between them
- 00:39:42i coat them with oil or grease
- 00:39:47another method would be coating with
- 00:39:49plastic now when do we use this
- 00:39:51in your dishwasher the racks in the
- 00:39:53dishwasher that you put your dishes on
- 00:39:56these are pieces of iron that are
- 00:39:59coated with plastic again why are we
- 00:40:02coating it with plastic to prevent the
- 00:40:04iron from
- 00:40:05reacting with water and oxygen in the
- 00:40:09air
- 00:40:10the problem again is if the piece of
- 00:40:12plastic
- 00:40:13is scraped off or is removed
- 00:40:17that exposed surface will again start to
- 00:40:20rust
- 00:40:22okay a better way of preventing
- 00:40:25um rusting would be what we call
- 00:40:28galvanizing galvanizing means
- 00:40:31covering the iron with a layer of zinc
- 00:40:34by dipping or spraying so these are
- 00:40:37iron pipes for example or iron tubes of
- 00:40:40some sort
- 00:40:42i want to prevent it from
- 00:40:46rusting so i can dip them into
- 00:40:49liquid zinc so that container contains
- 00:40:53zinc that is molten molten zinc
- 00:40:57and i dip the iron into it or i can
- 00:41:00spray it with
- 00:41:02zinc the zinc covers the iron
- 00:41:06this process is called galvanizing it
- 00:41:09prevents rusting because
- 00:41:11that outer layer of zinc is a metal that
- 00:41:15is more reactive than iron so the zinc
- 00:41:18will react and lose electrons and be
- 00:41:22oxidized
- 00:41:23instead of the iron and the good thing
- 00:41:26about it
- 00:41:27is even if part of this layer of zinc
- 00:41:31is scraped off still the iron will not
- 00:41:35rust so long as any part of it is still
- 00:41:38touching the zinc
- 00:41:40so so long as there is still some zinc
- 00:41:42attached to the iron
- 00:41:44it is the zinc that will be oxidized not
- 00:41:47the iron
- 00:41:48do we understand this so covering with a
- 00:41:50layer of zinc by dipping your spray that
- 00:41:52is called
- 00:41:53galvanizing or galvanization
- 00:41:57how does it work the zinc is more
- 00:41:59reactive than iron
- 00:42:00so it loses electrons and becomes
- 00:42:02oxidized instead of the iron
- 00:42:05and the advantage is even if a piece of
- 00:42:08the zinc
- 00:42:08is removed still so long as the iron is
- 00:42:12touching
- 00:42:12something it will not rust or it will
- 00:42:16not corrode
- 00:42:17okay another method is sacrificial
- 00:42:19protection
- 00:42:20now sacrificial protection is basically
- 00:42:22the same idea but instead of
- 00:42:25covering with a layer of zinc i just
- 00:42:27attach
- 00:42:28a block of a more reactive metal
- 00:42:31to the steel or to iron for example
- 00:42:35in ships the ship is made of iron i
- 00:42:38don't want the ship
- 00:42:39to corrode so i just put a zinc
- 00:42:42bar attach it to
- 00:42:45the side of the ship this presence of
- 00:42:48the zinc bar attached to the side of the
- 00:42:50ship
- 00:42:51prevents the whole ship from rusting
- 00:42:55this is because so long as the iron is
- 00:42:58touching
- 00:42:58some zinc the zinc will react instead of
- 00:43:02the ions
- 00:43:03since it is more reactive so it will
- 00:43:05become oxidized and lose electrons
- 00:43:07instead of the eye
- 00:43:08so we can use a piece of zinc or we can
- 00:43:11use a piece of magnesium for example
- 00:43:13bolted to the side of the ship
- 00:43:16another method of preventing corrosion
- 00:43:19was the electroplating that we talked
- 00:43:21about when we were
- 00:43:23doing electrons so electroplating
- 00:43:26is a reaction with
- 00:43:30uh electric current using electric
- 00:43:33current
- 00:43:34so i attach a piece of i want to cover
- 00:43:36my spoon for example
- 00:43:38i don't want my spoon to uh corrode so i
- 00:43:41cover it i want to cover it with a layer
- 00:43:43of silver
- 00:43:44so i attach it to the end of the battery
- 00:43:46and the other end is attached to a
- 00:43:48silver
- 00:43:50rod and this reaction is called
- 00:43:52electroplating in which the
- 00:43:54reaction will occur and cover the zinc
- 00:43:56with a layer of
- 00:43:58silver of course the let's say when we
- 00:44:00cover the spoon with a layer of silver
- 00:44:02the silver is something that is less
- 00:44:04reactive
- 00:44:05than hydrogen so it does not react with
- 00:44:08oxygen or water vapor in there
- 00:44:14this is a typical question name the
- 00:44:15process used to coat iron with zinc
- 00:44:17remind me again what was this process
- 00:44:19called
- 00:44:20when i cover the iron with zinc by
- 00:44:23dipping or spraying this is called
- 00:44:25galvanizing another question says the
- 00:44:28diagram shows three pieces of iron so he
- 00:44:30has a piece of iron
- 00:44:32not covered with anything a piece of
- 00:44:34iron covered with a layer of zinc
- 00:44:36and sea has the some of the layer of
- 00:44:39zinc
- 00:44:40uh peeled off so the three pieces of
- 00:44:43iron are left in separate troughs of
- 00:44:44water exposed to the atmosphere for
- 00:44:46several weeks
- 00:44:47the table shows the appearance of the
- 00:44:49pieces of iron after several
- 00:44:51weeks so after several weeks a was
- 00:44:54covered in a brown solid so they did
- 00:44:55trust or not
- 00:44:57yes we should know that iron as a metal
- 00:45:00is shiny when it cover it is covered
- 00:45:02with a brown solid that means it has
- 00:45:04crusted now b and c remain shiny
- 00:45:08so that means that b and c do not rust
- 00:45:11the brown solid contains hydrated iron
- 00:45:14iii
- 00:45:15oxide what is the common name for this
- 00:45:17brown solid
- 00:45:18so the hydrated iron iii oxide is what
- 00:45:21we call
- 00:45:22rust identify the two substances that
- 00:45:25react with iron to form the brown solid
- 00:45:27we said iron needs to react with what in
- 00:45:29order to rust
- 00:45:32water and oxygen now explain with
- 00:45:35reference to the symbol in the box the
- 00:45:37symbols in the box
- 00:45:38why the brown solid does not form one
- 00:45:40see now which one was c
- 00:45:41c was the one that was covered with zinc
- 00:45:44but a little piece of the zinc is
- 00:45:46removed so a little piece of the
- 00:45:48iron is exposed but all we still
- 00:45:52said that when a little piece of the
- 00:45:54iron is exposed
- 00:45:55still that will not rust so long as it's
- 00:46:00in contact with some zinc so
- 00:46:03why is that happening we said this is
- 00:46:06because what
- 00:46:07zinc is more reactive than i so it loses
- 00:46:10electrons instead of iron and becomes
- 00:46:13oxidized
- 00:46:14so this does not allow the iron to lose
- 00:46:17electrons remember that i need to use
- 00:46:18the things that are in the box
- 00:46:20and no iron ii plus is formed remember
- 00:46:23we said
- 00:46:24when the ion rusts it changes into ion2
- 00:46:27plus
- 00:46:28so instead of the iron changing to iron
- 00:46:302 plus it is the zinc that will
- 00:46:32react so the zinc reacts loses electrons
- 00:46:36becomes
- 00:46:36zinc 2 plus instead of the eye
- 00:46:40okay so that's the end of this chapter
- 00:46:44please study it well and try the
- 00:46:47questions that you have in the chapter
- 00:46:49asked questions in the pdf that is very
- 00:46:51important
- 00:46:52it's very important to try the questions
- 00:46:54before you go to the next
- 00:46:56video that discusses the answers to the
- 00:46:59questions
