Displacement reactions

Reactions with oxygen dilute acids and water

Relative ease of decomposition of their compounds

Metals at the top of the series are the most electropositive They lose electrons very easily and

readily form cations These ions are very stable and are not easily discharged to form atoms Due

to this fact they are the most reactive metals

Metals at the bottom of the series are the least electropositive They do not lose electrons easily

and do not readily form ions Their ions are very unstable and are easily discharged to form

atoms They are the least reactive metals

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Metal Observation

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

Based on the observations for the 4 metals the metal with highest reactivity is sodium and the

metal with the least reactivity is gold

The 4 metals can be arranged in terms of reactivity as follows

Na gt Mg gt Cu gt Au

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

8

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 5 LESSON 3 WORKSHEET

Metal nitrate Effect of heating

A Hardly any brown gas is produced even on strong heating

B Large amounts of brown gas are produced on gentle heating

C No brown gas is produced

D Some brown gas is produced on strong heating

Use the data above to deduce the order of reactivity of the metal nitrates A B C and D

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

Harmful effects of metals and their compounds to living systems and the environment

There are some metals and metal compounds which may cause harm to living systems and the

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

36

Carbon is used as a reducing agent in extraction of some metals

Carbon as graphite is used as electrodes lubricants and lsquoleadrsquo for pencils

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

38

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

(a) (i)

Magensium is the metal ion found in chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

cause corrosion damage in buildings

(c)

Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or

generation of hazardous substances

43

Automotive fuels are now produced without lead so as to eliminate the release of lead

compounds into the atmosphere

Low sulphur fuel is being produced with much reduced sulphur content which causes a reduction

of sulphur dioxide release into the atmosphere

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Metal Observation

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

Based on the observations for the 4 metals the metal with highest reactivity is sodium and the

metal with the least reactivity is gold

The 4 metals can be arranged in terms of reactivity as follows

Na gt Mg gt Cu gt Au

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

A blast furnace used for extracting iron

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

24

Harmful effects of metals and their compounds to living systems and the environment

There are some metals and metal compounds which may cause harm to living systems and the

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

Reaction with oxygen

Many non ndash metals burn in excess oxygen or air to form oxides For example

S (s) + O2 (g) SO2 (g)

C (s) + O2 (g) CO2 (g)

Reactions with metals

Some non ndash metals react with metals high in the electrochemical series when heated

For example

Sodium burns in chlorine to form sodium chloride

Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)

Magnesium burns in oxygen to form magnesium oxide

Mg (s) + O2 (g) MgO (s)

When heated iron combines with molten sulphur to form iron (II) sulphide

Fe (s) + S (l) FeS (s)

When heated reactive metals such as sodium and aluminium react with hydrogen to form metal

hydrides

2 Na (s) + H2 (g) 2 NaH (s)

Oxidising and Reducing properties

Hydrogen and Carbon are very good reducing agents

At high temperatures hydrogen reduces metal oxides below zinc in the electrochemical series to

form the metal For example PbO (s) + H2 (g) Pb (s) + H2O (g)

Under suitable conditions hydrogen reduces nitrogen to ammonia

N2(g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

27

At high temperatures carbon reduces metal oxides below aluminium in the reactivity series to

the metal For example

ZnO (s) + C (s) Zn (s) + CO (g)

Oxygen and Chlorine are very good oxidizing agents

Oxygen oxidized most metals to form metal oxides and some non ndash metals to non ndash metal oxides

For example

2 Mg (s) + O2(g) 2 MgO (s)

4 P (s) + 5 O2 (g) P4O10 (s)

Chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent either as a gas or as an aqueous solution For example

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

36

WEEK 9 LESSON 2

TOPIC Uses of non ndash metals and their compounds

Carbon (allotrophes carbon dioxide)

Carbon is used as a reducing agent in extraction of some metals

Carbon as graphite is used as electrodes lubricants and lsquoleadrsquo for pencils

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

38

Chlorine

Chlorine is used to make sodium hypochlorite which is present in bleach It is also used in

sterilizing swimming pools and in water treatment

Chlorine is used to make the monomer vinyl chloride which is used to make the plastic PVC

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is used to make fertilisers ammonia dyes and nitric acid

Nitrogen is used as an inert atmosphere to prevent substances being oxidised and as a coolant

Silicon

Silicon is used for making silicon chips for computers

Silicon (V) oxide is present in sand Glass is made by heating sand with lime (calcium oxide) and

sodium carbonate

Silicon in the form of silicates is used in jewellery

Silica gel is used as a drying agent

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

ndash NH4+

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

Dirty green precipitate Precipitate insoluble Fe2+

Rusty brown precipitate Precipitate insoluble Fe3+

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

Confirmatory test

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

63

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

State ONE harmful effect each of continuous exposure to lead and mercury

Any correct harmful effect of lead on health or environment

Any correct harmful effect of mercury on health or environment

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

Displacement reactions

Reactions with oxygen dilute acids and water

Relative ease of decomposition of their compounds

Metals at the top of the series are the most electropositive They lose electrons very easily and

readily form cations These ions are very stable and are not easily discharged to form atoms Due

to this fact they are the most reactive metals

Metals at the bottom of the series are the least electropositive They do not lose electrons easily

and do not readily form ions Their ions are very unstable and are easily discharged to form

atoms They are the least reactive metals

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

Confirmatory test

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

2A (s) + Fe 2+ (aq) rarr 2A+ (aq) + Fe (s)

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

WEEK 13 LESSON 2 Worksheet Answer

(a) (i)

Magensium is the metal ion found in chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

(b)

Metal Lead is present in some types of gasoline Upon combustion lead compounds escape into

the atmosphere It accumulates in body tissues and slowly poisons the person It causes mental

illness

Non ndash metal SulphurSulphur dioxide or NitrogenNitrogen dioxide

Dissolves in rain water to form acid rain or cause respiratory illnessproblems Acid rain can

cause corrosion damage in buildings

(c)

Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or

generation of hazardous substances

43

Automotive fuels are now produced without lead so as to eliminate the release of lead

compounds into the atmosphere

Low sulphur fuel is being produced with much reduced sulphur content which causes a reduction

of sulphur dioxide release into the atmosphere

Metals at the top of the series are the most electropositive They lose electrons very easily and

readily form cations These ions are very stable and are not easily discharged to form atoms Due

to this fact they are the most reactive metals

Metals at the bottom of the series are the least electropositive They do not lose electrons easily

and do not readily form ions Their ions are very unstable and are easily discharged to form

atoms They are the least reactive metals

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

A blast furnace used for extracting iron

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

Calcium Necessary for strong bones teeth and shells needed by some enzymes Present

in dairy produce eggs nuts and cereals

Magnesium Central atom of chlorophyll needed for some enzyme action Involved in energy

and calcium metabolism

Zinc Present in many enzymes Needed for protein metabolism Essential for growth

24

Harmful effects of metals and their compounds to living systems and the environment

There are some metals and metal compounds which may cause harm to living systems and the

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

TOPIC Chemical properties of non ndash metals

Reaction with oxygen

Many non ndash metals burn in excess oxygen or air to form oxides For example

S (s) + O2 (g) SO2 (g)

C (s) + O2 (g) CO2 (g)

Reactions with metals

Some non ndash metals react with metals high in the electrochemical series when heated

For example

Sodium burns in chlorine to form sodium chloride

Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)

Magnesium burns in oxygen to form magnesium oxide

Mg (s) + O2 (g) MgO (s)

When heated iron combines with molten sulphur to form iron (II) sulphide

Fe (s) + S (l) FeS (s)

When heated reactive metals such as sodium and aluminium react with hydrogen to form metal

hydrides

2 Na (s) + H2 (g) 2 NaH (s)

Oxidising and Reducing properties

Hydrogen and Carbon are very good reducing agents

At high temperatures hydrogen reduces metal oxides below zinc in the electrochemical series to

form the metal For example PbO (s) + H2 (g) Pb (s) + H2O (g)

Under suitable conditions hydrogen reduces nitrogen to ammonia

N2(g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

27

At high temperatures carbon reduces metal oxides below aluminium in the reactivity series to

the metal For example

ZnO (s) + C (s) Zn (s) + CO (g)

Oxygen and Chlorine are very good oxidizing agents

Oxygen oxidized most metals to form metal oxides and some non ndash metals to non ndash metal oxides

For example

2 Mg (s) + O2(g) 2 MgO (s)

4 P (s) + 5 O2 (g) P4O10 (s)

Chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent either as a gas or as an aqueous solution For example

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

36

WEEK 9 LESSON 2

TOPIC Uses of non ndash metals and their compounds

Carbon (allotrophes carbon dioxide)

Carbon is used as a reducing agent in extraction of some metals

Carbon as graphite is used as electrodes lubricants and lsquoleadrsquo for pencils

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

38

Chlorine

Chlorine is used to make sodium hypochlorite which is present in bleach It is also used in

sterilizing swimming pools and in water treatment

Chlorine is used to make the monomer vinyl chloride which is used to make the plastic PVC

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is used to make fertilisers ammonia dyes and nitric acid

Nitrogen is used as an inert atmosphere to prevent substances being oxidised and as a coolant

Silicon

Silicon is used for making silicon chips for computers

Silicon (V) oxide is present in sand Glass is made by heating sand with lime (calcium oxide) and

sodium carbonate

Silicon in the form of silicates is used in jewellery

Silica gel is used as a drying agent

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

Confirmatory test

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

Displacement reactions

Reactions with oxygen dilute acids and water

Relative ease of decomposition of their compounds

Metals at the top of the series are the most electropositive They lose electrons very easily and

readily form cations These ions are very stable and are not easily discharged to form atoms Due

to this fact they are the most reactive metals

Metals at the bottom of the series are the least electropositive They do not lose electrons easily

and do not readily form ions Their ions are very unstable and are easily discharged to form

atoms They are the least reactive metals

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Metal Observation

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

metal with the least reactivity is gold

The 4 metals can be arranged in terms of reactivity as follows

Na gt Mg gt Cu gt Au

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

A blast furnace used for extracting iron

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

Blue precipitate Precipitate insoluble Cu2+

Dirty green precipitate Precipitate insoluble Fe2+

Rusty brown precipitate Precipitate insoluble Fe3+

No precipitate ndash ammonia gas

ndash NH4+

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

Confirmatory test

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

2A (s) + Fe 2+ (aq) rarr 2A+ (aq) + Fe (s)

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

(a) (i)

Magensium is the metal ion found in chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

cause corrosion damage in buildings

(c)

Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or

generation of hazardous substances

43

Automotive fuels are now produced without lead so as to eliminate the release of lead

compounds into the atmosphere

Low sulphur fuel is being produced with much reduced sulphur content which causes a reduction

of sulphur dioxide release into the atmosphere

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

A blast furnace used for extracting iron

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

Calcium Necessary for strong bones teeth and shells needed by some enzymes Present

in dairy produce eggs nuts and cereals

Magnesium Central atom of chlorophyll needed for some enzyme action Involved in energy

and calcium metabolism

Zinc Present in many enzymes Needed for protein metabolism Essential for growth

24

Harmful effects of metals and their compounds to living systems and the environment

There are some metals and metal compounds which may cause harm to living systems and the

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

TOPIC Chemical properties of non ndash metals

Reaction with oxygen

Many non ndash metals burn in excess oxygen or air to form oxides For example

S (s) + O2 (g) SO2 (g)

C (s) + O2 (g) CO2 (g)

Reactions with metals

Some non ndash metals react with metals high in the electrochemical series when heated

For example

Sodium burns in chlorine to form sodium chloride

Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)

Magnesium burns in oxygen to form magnesium oxide

Mg (s) + O2 (g) MgO (s)

When heated iron combines with molten sulphur to form iron (II) sulphide

Fe (s) + S (l) FeS (s)

When heated reactive metals such as sodium and aluminium react with hydrogen to form metal

hydrides

2 Na (s) + H2 (g) 2 NaH (s)

Oxidising and Reducing properties

Hydrogen and Carbon are very good reducing agents

At high temperatures hydrogen reduces metal oxides below zinc in the electrochemical series to

form the metal For example PbO (s) + H2 (g) Pb (s) + H2O (g)

Under suitable conditions hydrogen reduces nitrogen to ammonia

N2(g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

27

At high temperatures carbon reduces metal oxides below aluminium in the reactivity series to

the metal For example

ZnO (s) + C (s) Zn (s) + CO (g)

Oxygen and Chlorine are very good oxidizing agents

Oxygen oxidized most metals to form metal oxides and some non ndash metals to non ndash metal oxides

For example

2 Mg (s) + O2(g) 2 MgO (s)

4 P (s) + 5 O2 (g) P4O10 (s)

Chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent either as a gas or as an aqueous solution For example

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

36

WEEK 9 LESSON 2

TOPIC Uses of non ndash metals and their compounds

Carbon (allotrophes carbon dioxide)

Carbon is used as a reducing agent in extraction of some metals

Carbon as graphite is used as electrodes lubricants and lsquoleadrsquo for pencils

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

38

Chlorine

Chlorine is used to make sodium hypochlorite which is present in bleach It is also used in

sterilizing swimming pools and in water treatment

Chlorine is used to make the monomer vinyl chloride which is used to make the plastic PVC

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is used to make fertilisers ammonia dyes and nitric acid

Nitrogen is used as an inert atmosphere to prevent substances being oxidised and as a coolant

Silicon

Silicon is used for making silicon chips for computers

Silicon (V) oxide is present in sand Glass is made by heating sand with lime (calcium oxide) and

sodium carbonate

Silicon in the form of silicates is used in jewellery

Silica gel is used as a drying agent

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

Confirmatory test

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

Magensium is the metal ion found in chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

(b)

Metal Lead is present in some types of gasoline Upon combustion lead compounds escape into

the atmosphere It accumulates in body tissues and slowly poisons the person It causes mental

illness

Displacement reactions

Reactions with oxygen dilute acids and water

Relative ease of decomposition of their compounds

Metals at the top of the series are the most electropositive They lose electrons very easily and

readily form cations These ions are very stable and are not easily discharged to form atoms Due

to this fact they are the most reactive metals

Metals at the bottom of the series are the least electropositive They do not lose electrons easily

and do not readily form ions Their ions are very unstable and are easily discharged to form

atoms They are the least reactive metals

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Metal Observation

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

ndash NH4+

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

(c) Add excess sodium hydroxide solution Look for the precipitate redissolving

Effect of dilute ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) solution

Dirty green precipitate Precipitate insoluble Fe2+

Rusty brown precipitate Precipitate insoluble Fe3+

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Metals at the top of the series are the most electropositive They lose electrons very easily and

readily form cations These ions are very stable and are not easily discharged to form atoms Due

to this fact they are the most reactive metals

Metals at the bottom of the series are the least electropositive They do not lose electrons easily

and do not readily form ions Their ions are very unstable and are easily discharged to form

atoms They are the least reactive metals

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Metal Observation

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

Based on the observations for the 4 metals the metal with highest reactivity is sodium and the

metal with the least reactivity is gold

The 4 metals can be arranged in terms of reactivity as follows

Na gt Mg gt Cu gt Au

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

A blast furnace used for extracting iron

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

24

Harmful effects of metals and their compounds to living systems and the environment

There are some metals and metal compounds which may cause harm to living systems and the

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

Reaction with oxygen

Many non ndash metals burn in excess oxygen or air to form oxides For example

S (s) + O2 (g) SO2 (g)

C (s) + O2 (g) CO2 (g)

Reactions with metals

Some non ndash metals react with metals high in the electrochemical series when heated

For example

Sodium burns in chlorine to form sodium chloride

Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)

Magnesium burns in oxygen to form magnesium oxide

Mg (s) + O2 (g) MgO (s)

When heated iron combines with molten sulphur to form iron (II) sulphide

Fe (s) + S (l) FeS (s)

When heated reactive metals such as sodium and aluminium react with hydrogen to form metal

hydrides

2 Na (s) + H2 (g) 2 NaH (s)

Oxidising and Reducing properties

Hydrogen and Carbon are very good reducing agents

At high temperatures hydrogen reduces metal oxides below zinc in the electrochemical series to

form the metal For example PbO (s) + H2 (g) Pb (s) + H2O (g)

Under suitable conditions hydrogen reduces nitrogen to ammonia

N2(g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

27

At high temperatures carbon reduces metal oxides below aluminium in the reactivity series to

the metal For example

ZnO (s) + C (s) Zn (s) + CO (g)

Oxygen and Chlorine are very good oxidizing agents

Oxygen oxidized most metals to form metal oxides and some non ndash metals to non ndash metal oxides

For example

2 Mg (s) + O2(g) 2 MgO (s)

4 P (s) + 5 O2 (g) P4O10 (s)

Chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent either as a gas or as an aqueous solution For example

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

36

WEEK 9 LESSON 2

TOPIC Uses of non ndash metals and their compounds

Carbon (allotrophes carbon dioxide)

Carbon is used as a reducing agent in extraction of some metals

Carbon as graphite is used as electrodes lubricants and lsquoleadrsquo for pencils

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

38

Chlorine

Chlorine is used to make sodium hypochlorite which is present in bleach It is also used in

sterilizing swimming pools and in water treatment

Chlorine is used to make the monomer vinyl chloride which is used to make the plastic PVC

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is used to make fertilisers ammonia dyes and nitric acid

Nitrogen is used as an inert atmosphere to prevent substances being oxidised and as a coolant

Silicon

Silicon is used for making silicon chips for computers

Silicon (V) oxide is present in sand Glass is made by heating sand with lime (calcium oxide) and

sodium carbonate

Silicon in the form of silicates is used in jewellery

Silica gel is used as a drying agent

39

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

Confirmatory test

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

Metals at the top of the series are the most electropositive They lose electrons very easily and

readily form cations These ions are very stable and are not easily discharged to form atoms Due

to this fact they are the most reactive metals

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Metal Observation

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

Based on the observations for the 4 metals the metal with highest reactivity is sodium and the

metal with the least reactivity is gold

The 4 metals can be arranged in terms of reactivity as follows

Na gt Mg gt Cu gt Au

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

Harmful effects of metals and their compounds to living systems and the environment

There are some metals and metal compounds which may cause harm to living systems and the

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

36

Carbon is used as a reducing agent in extraction of some metals

Carbon as graphite is used as electrodes lubricants and lsquoleadrsquo for pencils

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

38

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Metal Observation

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

Based on the observations for the 4 metals the metal with highest reactivity is sodium and the

metal with the least reactivity is gold

The 4 metals can be arranged in terms of reactivity as follows

Na gt Mg gt Cu gt Au

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

+ = Yes ndash = No

When Z is added to an aqueous solution of Y a precipitate is formed

From the above data deduce the correct order of these metals in the electrochemical series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 5 LESSON 3 WORKSHEET

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

A blast furnace used for extracting iron

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

24

Harmful effects of metals and their compounds to living systems and the environment

There are some metals and metal compounds which may cause harm to living systems and the

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

Reaction with oxygen

Many non ndash metals burn in excess oxygen or air to form oxides For example

S (s) + O2 (g) SO2 (g)

C (s) + O2 (g) CO2 (g)

Reactions with metals

Some non ndash metals react with metals high in the electrochemical series when heated

For example

Sodium burns in chlorine to form sodium chloride

Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)

Magnesium burns in oxygen to form magnesium oxide

Mg (s) + O2 (g) MgO (s)

When heated iron combines with molten sulphur to form iron (II) sulphide

Fe (s) + S (l) FeS (s)

When heated reactive metals such as sodium and aluminium react with hydrogen to form metal

hydrides

2 Na (s) + H2 (g) 2 NaH (s)

Oxidising and Reducing properties

Hydrogen and Carbon are very good reducing agents

At high temperatures hydrogen reduces metal oxides below zinc in the electrochemical series to

form the metal For example PbO (s) + H2 (g) Pb (s) + H2O (g)

Under suitable conditions hydrogen reduces nitrogen to ammonia

N2(g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

27

At high temperatures carbon reduces metal oxides below aluminium in the reactivity series to

the metal For example

ZnO (s) + C (s) Zn (s) + CO (g)

Oxygen and Chlorine are very good oxidizing agents

Oxygen oxidized most metals to form metal oxides and some non ndash metals to non ndash metal oxides

For example

2 Mg (s) + O2(g) 2 MgO (s)

4 P (s) + 5 O2 (g) P4O10 (s)

Chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent either as a gas or as an aqueous solution For example

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

ndash NH4+

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

TOPIC Qualitative Analysis ndash Identification of cations

Test for cation using ammonia solution (ammonium hydroxide solution)

Method

(a) Prepare a solution of the solid

(b) Add dilute sodium hydroxide solution dropwise Look for a precipitate

(c) Add excess sodium hydroxide solution Look for the precipitate redissolving

Effect of dilute ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) solution

Effect of dilute ammonia solution Cation

Dirty green precipitate Precipitate insoluble Fe2+

Rusty brown precipitate Precipitate insoluble Fe3+

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

Confirmatory test

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

63

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

State ONE harmful effect each of continuous exposure to lead and mercury

Any correct harmful effect of lead on health or environment

Any correct harmful effect of mercury on health or environment

2A (s) + Fe 2+ (aq) rarr 2A+ (aq) + Fe (s)

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

Magensium is the metal ion found in chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

(c)

Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or

generation of hazardous substances

43

Automotive fuels are now produced without lead so as to eliminate the release of lead

compounds into the atmosphere

Low sulphur fuel is being produced with much reduced sulphur content which causes a reduction

of sulphur dioxide release into the atmosphere

Relative ease of decomposition of their compounds

Metals at the top of the series are the most electropositive They lose electrons very easily and

readily form cations These ions are very stable and are not easily discharged to form atoms Due

to this fact they are the most reactive metals

Metals at the bottom of the series are the least electropositive They do not lose electrons easily

and do not readily form ions Their ions are very unstable and are easily discharged to form

atoms They are the least reactive metals

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Metal Observation

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

Based on the observations for the 4 metals the metal with highest reactivity is sodium and the

metal with the least reactivity is gold

The 4 metals can be arranged in terms of reactivity as follows

Na gt Mg gt Cu gt Au

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

A blast furnace used for extracting iron

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Calcium Necessary for strong bones teeth and shells needed by some enzymes Present

in dairy produce eggs nuts and cereals

Magnesium Central atom of chlorophyll needed for some enzyme action Involved in energy

and calcium metabolism

Zinc Present in many enzymes Needed for protein metabolism Essential for growth

of animals

Iron Present in haemoglobin Needed for protein metabolism Essential for growth of

animals

enzymes Needed for plant growth

Cobalt Present in Vitamin B12 Needed for plant growth

Copper Involved in formation of haemoglobin and melanin Present in enzymes

controlling oxidation Needed for plant growth

24

Harmful effects of metals and their compounds to living systems and the environment

There are some metals and metal compounds which may cause harm to living systems and the

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

36

Carbon (allotrophes carbon dioxide)

Carbon is used as a reducing agent in extraction of some metals

Carbon as graphite is used as electrodes lubricants and lsquoleadrsquo for pencils

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

38

Chlorine

Chlorine is used to make sodium hypochlorite which is present in bleach It is also used in

sterilizing swimming pools and in water treatment

Chlorine is used to make the monomer vinyl chloride which is used to make the plastic PVC

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is used to make fertilisers ammonia dyes and nitric acid

Nitrogen is used as an inert atmosphere to prevent substances being oxidised and as a coolant

Silicon

Silicon is used for making silicon chips for computers

Silicon (V) oxide is present in sand Glass is made by heating sand with lime (calcium oxide) and

sodium carbonate

Silicon in the form of silicates is used in jewellery

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

Confirmatory test

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

b) Alloy of iron steel

WEEK 13 LESSON 2 Worksheet Answer

(a) (i)

Magensium is the metal ion found in chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

(b)

Metal Lead is present in some types of gasoline Upon combustion lead compounds escape into

the atmosphere It accumulates in body tissues and slowly poisons the person It causes mental

illness

Non ndash metal SulphurSulphur dioxide or NitrogenNitrogen dioxide

Dissolves in rain water to form acid rain or cause respiratory illnessproblems Acid rain can

cause corrosion damage in buildings

(c)

Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or

generation of hazardous substances

43

Automotive fuels are now produced without lead so as to eliminate the release of lead

compounds into the atmosphere

Low sulphur fuel is being produced with much reduced sulphur content which causes a reduction

of sulphur dioxide release into the atmosphere

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Metal Observation

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

form the metal For example PbO (s) + H2 (g) Pb (s) + H2O (g)

Under suitable conditions hydrogen reduces nitrogen to ammonia

N2(g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

27

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

Carbon (allotrophes carbon dioxide)

Carbon is used as a reducing agent in extraction of some metals

Carbon as graphite is used as electrodes lubricants and lsquoleadrsquo for pencils

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

Confirmatory test

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

2A (s) + Fe 2+ (aq) rarr 2A+ (aq) + Fe (s)

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

(a) (i)

Magensium is the metal ion found in chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

cause corrosion damage in buildings

(c)

Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or

generation of hazardous substances

43

Automotive fuels are now produced without lead so as to eliminate the release of lead

compounds into the atmosphere

Low sulphur fuel is being produced with much reduced sulphur content which causes a reduction

of sulphur dioxide release into the atmosphere

TOPIC Reactivity of metals ndash The Reactivity Series

The reactivity series of metals is a list of metals arranged in order of their reactivity based on

Displacement reactions

Reactions with oxygen dilute acids and water

Relative ease of decomposition of their compounds

Metals at the top of the series are the most electropositive They lose electrons very easily and

readily form cations These ions are very stable and are not easily discharged to form atoms Due

to this fact they are the most reactive metals

Metals at the bottom of the series are the least electropositive They do not lose electrons easily

and do not readily form ions Their ions are very unstable and are easily discharged to form

atoms They are the least reactive metals

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Metal Observation

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

Based on the observations for the 4 metals the metal with highest reactivity is sodium and the

metal with the least reactivity is gold

The 4 metals can be arranged in terms of reactivity as follows

Na gt Mg gt Cu gt Au

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

A blast furnace used for extracting iron

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

24

Harmful effects of metals and their compounds to living systems and the environment

There are some metals and metal compounds which may cause harm to living systems and the

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

When heated reactive metals such as sodium and aluminium react with hydrogen to form metal

hydrides

2 Na (s) + H2 (g) 2 NaH (s)

Oxidising and Reducing properties

form the metal For example PbO (s) + H2 (g) Pb (s) + H2O (g)

Under suitable conditions hydrogen reduces nitrogen to ammonia

N2(g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

27

At high temperatures carbon reduces metal oxides below aluminium in the reactivity series to

the metal For example

ZnO (s) + C (s) Zn (s) + CO (g)

Oxygen and Chlorine are very good oxidizing agents

For example

2 Mg (s) + O2(g) 2 MgO (s)

4 P (s) + 5 O2 (g) P4O10 (s)

Chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent either as a gas or as an aqueous solution For example

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

ndash NH4+

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

TOPIC Qualitative Analysis ndash Identification of cations

Test for cation using ammonia solution (ammonium hydroxide solution)

Method

(a) Prepare a solution of the solid

(b) Add dilute sodium hydroxide solution dropwise Look for a precipitate

(c) Add excess sodium hydroxide solution Look for the precipitate redissolving

Effect of dilute ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) solution

Dirty green precipitate Precipitate insoluble Fe2+

Rusty brown precipitate Precipitate insoluble Fe3+

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

Confirmatory test

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

63

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

State ONE harmful effect each of continuous exposure to lead and mercury

Any correct harmful effect of lead on health or environment

Any correct harmful effect of mercury on health or environment

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

cause corrosion damage in buildings

(c)

Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or

generation of hazardous substances

43

Automotive fuels are now produced without lead so as to eliminate the release of lead

compounds into the atmosphere

Low sulphur fuel is being produced with much reduced sulphur content which causes a reduction

of sulphur dioxide release into the atmosphere

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

10

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Al3+ (l) + 3 e- Al (l)

Reaction at the anode

2 O2- (l) ndash 4 e- O2 (g)

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

A blast furnace used for extracting iron

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

36

Carbon (allotrophes carbon dioxide)

Carbon is used as a reducing agent in extraction of some metals

Carbon as graphite is used as electrodes lubricants and lsquoleadrsquo for pencils

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

38

Chlorine

sterilizing swimming pools and in water treatment

Chlorine is used to make the monomer vinyl chloride which is used to make the plastic PVC

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is used to make fertilisers ammonia dyes and nitric acid

Nitrogen is used as an inert atmosphere to prevent substances being oxidised and as a coolant

Silicon

Silicon is used for making silicon chips for computers

Silicon (V) oxide is present in sand Glass is made by heating sand with lime (calcium oxide) and

sodium carbonate

Silicon in the form of silicates is used in jewellery

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

The metal cations all form insoluble hydroxides with sodium hydroxide solution

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

52

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

(b) Some metal compounds are health and environmental hazards

a) i) B ˂ Fe ˂ A

2A (s) + Fe 2+ (aq) rarr 2A+ (aq) + Fe (s)

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

b) Alloy of iron steel

WEEK 13 LESSON 2 Worksheet Answer

(a) (i)

Magensium is the metal ion found in chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

(b)

Metal Lead is present in some types of gasoline Upon combustion lead compounds escape into

the atmosphere It accumulates in body tissues and slowly poisons the person It causes mental

illness

Non ndash metal SulphurSulphur dioxide or NitrogenNitrogen dioxide

Dissolves in rain water to form acid rain or cause respiratory illnessproblems Acid rain can

cause corrosion damage in buildings

(c)

Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or

generation of hazardous substances

43

Automotive fuels are now produced without lead so as to eliminate the release of lead

compounds into the atmosphere

Low sulphur fuel is being produced with much reduced sulphur content which causes a reduction

of sulphur dioxide release into the atmosphere

WEEK 5 LESSON 1

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on displacement reactions between metals and metal ions

A metal will displace a metal which is lower than itself in the reactivity series from a solution of

the metal salt

Reaction of zinc and copper (II) sulphate

Expected observations

Explanation

The size of the zinc metal decreases

The zinc metal is reacting and forming the

salt zinc sulphate

The solution becomes lighter eventually

colourless

The Cu2+ (aq) ions (responsible for the blue

colour) is reduced to Cu (s)

A brown solid is deposited at the bottom of

the container

Copper metal is formed

Equation Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Ionic equation

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper Therefore it will displace the copper ions in

the reaction above

3

Examples of other displacement reactions

Magnesium will displace Zn2+ ions in zinc sulphate since it is higher in the series than zinc

Mg (s) + Zn2+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) + Zn (s)

Silver will not displace Cu2+ ions in copper (II) sulphate [Cu is higher in the series than Ag]

Using the information above we can arrange the metals in order of their reactivity with

magnesium being the most reactive and silver the least reactive metal among the four metals

Mg gt Zn gt Cu gt Ag

Reactivity based on reaction with oxygen

The reactivity of metals can also be deduced from their reaction with oxygen

The table below gives the observations for the reaction with oxygen with the selected metals

Reaction of metal with oxygen

Copper The surface turns black upon heating

Magnesium Ribbon burns very rapidly

Sodium Burns vigorously

Gold No reaction

WEEK 5 LESSON 2

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on reactivity with acids

The metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series react with non ndash oxidizing

acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas

By using the same concentration of acid and same mass and size of the metals the order of

reactivity of the metals can be deduced

The table below shows the results for an experiment with the reaction of the named metals and

1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Reaction of metals with acid

Metal Observations

Silver No reaction

Magnesium Bubbles produced steadily

Calcium Bubbles produced very rapidly

Iron Bubbles produced slowly

Based on the above data the most reactive metal will be calcium with the least reactive being

silver The order of reactivity will be Ca gt Mg gt Fe gt Ag

By comparing this to the electrochemical series it can be seen that the reactivity of the metals

decrease as we go down the series

WEEK 5 LESSON 3

TOPIC Reactivity of metals

Reactivity based on ease of decomposition of the metal nitrates carbonates oxides and

hydroxides

The more reactive a metal the more difficult it is to decompose its nitrate carbonate oxide or

hydroxide on heating

For example Decomposition of carbonates

Procedure

1 Put a large spatula measure of the carbonate to be tested in a test tube

2 Fit a delivery tube and then clamp the test tube so that the delivery tube dips into a second test

tube containing 2ndash3 cm3 limewater

3 Heat the solid gently at first then more strongly

4 Lift the delivery tube from the limewater before or as soon as the heating is stopped This is to

avoid suck-back

5 Write down all observations Notice what happens to the limewater and how long it takes to turn

milky (if at all) Notice whether any melting occurs in the heated test tube and any colour

changes taking place Write your results in tabular form

6 Repeat the experiment with the other metal carbonates supplied and in each case write down

your observations

7 Wash your hands thoroughly at the end of these experiments since some of the metal carbonates

are toxic

9

Results

Metal Formula Gas evolved Ease of decomposition

Zinc ZnCO3 Carbon dioxide Fairly easy

Copper CuCO3 Carbon dioxide Easy

Sodium Na2CO3 None Very difficult

Using the results of the above activity the reactivity of the metals can be determined

Ease of decomposition Copper gt Zinc gt Sodium

The order of reactivity is the opposite for the ease of decomposition

Order of reactivity Sodium (most reactive) gt Zinc gt Copper (least reactive)

WEEK 6 LESSON 1

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Elements exist all over the earth Some are found as free elements eg copper silver and gold

Others are found combined with other elements in compounds To get the elements the

compounds have to be broken up These compounds are generally called ores the most

convenient sources of which are rocks sea and air

The extraction of a metal from its ore is a reduction process where the metals ions gain electrons

to form atoms

The general equation is Mn+ + n e- M

The choice of the extraction method depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series

As we go down the series the metals become more stable and the metal ions (in the ores)

become less stable

The very reactive metals that are high in the series K Na Ca Mg Al have very stable ores

Therefore they require a powerful method of reduction namely electrolysis During the process

the cathode provides the electrons and acts as the reducing agent

The metals in the middle of the series (Zn Fe Pb) do not have stable ores and can be extracted

by reduction with carbon in the case of zinc and with carbon monoxide in the case of iron and

lead

Metals low in the reactivity series if present as ores can be extracted simply by heating the ores

in air at high temperatures

12

Extraction of Aluminium from purified bauxite

Pure bauxite is pure alumina (Al2O3) Aluminium is obtained from bauxite by electrolysis

Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point approximately 2050 0C so it is first dissolved in

molten cryolite (Na2AlF6) The addition of cryolite lowers the melting point to approximately

900 0C

The electrolyte is a molten mixture of alumina and molten cryolite The cathode is the graphite

lining of the cell The anodes are blocks of graphite or titanium alloys

Reaction at the cathode

Aluminium (melting point 660 0C) is a liquid at the temperature at which electrolysis is carried

out and is collected at the bottom of the cell and tapped off Oxygen gas which is given off in the

main cathode reaction together with the heat causes the anodes to burn away The anodes have

to be replaced from time to time The use of anodes from titanium alloys reduce the number of

times that the anodes have to be replaced

WEEK 6 LESSON 2

TOPIC Extraction of metals

Extraction of Iron

The traditional method of production of iron is by reduction of haematite by carbon monoxide in

a blast furnace

Ores Haematite ndash Fe2O3 Magnetite ndash Fe3O4 Siderite ndash FeCO3 Magnetite and Siderite are

converted to Haematite

A mixture of haematite limestone (CaCO3) and coke (C) called the charge is placed into the top

of the furnace

Hot air is blown into the bottom of the furnace

Coke burns in air forming carbon dioxide

C (s) + O2(g) CO2 (g) ΔH -ve

The heat produced keeps the temperature at about 1900 0C

The carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide by the hot coke

CO2 (g) + C (s) 2 CO(g) Δ +ve

Heat absorbed reduces the temperature to about 1100 0C

The carbon monoxide reduces the hot iron ore to molten iron

Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) 2 Fe (l) + 3 CO2(g)

The temperature at this part of the furnace is about 700 0C The iron runs to the bottom of the

furnace

The impurities are removed by the addition of limestone (CaCO3) The limestone at the

temperature of the furnace breaks down

CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2 (g)

15

The calcium oxide formed combines with silicon dioxide (sand) the main impurity in the iron

ore to form molten slag

CaO (s) + SiO2 (s) CaSiO3 (l)

The slag does not mix with the molten iron but floats on it The molten iron and slag are run off

separately

The iron formed in a blast furnace is an impure form of the metal Because the molten metal is

allowed to solidify in shallow trays known as casts the iron is called lsquocast ironrsquo or lsquopigrsquo iron

Cast iron is quite brittle and contains 2 - 4 carbon and other impurities Most of the cast iron is

converted to steel

WEEK 7 LESSON 1

TOPIC Corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

Familiar examples of corrosion are

- the formation of a green powder on copper sheeting

- the eating away of iron (rusting)

- the development by aluminum of a thin compact layer of oxide which protects the

underlying metal from further corrosion

When corrosion occurs in water ndash free environment it is called dry oxidation When it occurs in

aerated aqueous environments it is called wet corrosion Wet corrosion is the most common and

troublesome form of corrosion

The most familiar corrosion is the rusting of iron and steel On exposure to the atmosphere iron

and steel corrode to form rust which is hydrated iron (III) oxide Fe2O3xH2O Iron and steel

corrode easily and the rust formed flakes off easily thus exposing fresh surface for attack

When iron rust it loses electrons

Fe (s) ndash 2e- Fe 2+ (aq)

The iron (II) ions pass into solution and then combine with the hydroxyl (OH-) ions in the

aerated aqueous environment to form iron (II) hydroxide The oxygen present oxidises the iron

(II) hydroxide to hydrated iron (III) oxide or rust

Fe(OH)2 + O2 Fe2O3xH2O

21

Methods of preventing rusting

1 Coating the object with paint grease plastic or rubber which prevent contact with air or

water

2 Galvanising ndash coating the object with zinc The zinc forms an adherent oxide layer which

protects against further corrosion If damaged the zinc is oxidized in preference to the

iron since it is higher in the electrochemical series

3 Coating with tin lsquoTinrsquo cans are made of steel plated with tin However if scratched

rusting occurs since iron is more reactive than tin

4 Attaching a sacrificial anode to the object A piece of metal higher in the electrochemical

series such as magnesium is attached The magnesium will be oxidized in preference

since it is higher in the electrochemical series than iron

22

Harmful effects of metals and their compounds to living systems and the environment

There are some metals and metal compounds which may cause harm to living systems and the

environment

Lead

Lead is a heavy metal poison that is widely encountered It may occur in food beverages paint

water formed from ndash sealed pipes in air polluted by combustion by fuels containing lead

compounds Lead is also used in some car batteries If these are paints or batteries are not

disposed of correctly lead may get into groundwater or air Lead and lead compounds harm the

nervous system including the brain especially young children

Arsenic

Arsenic compounds are poisonous They can get into the groundwater from mining waste and

from disposal of some electrical components

Cadmium

Cadmium compounds are poisonous They can get into the ground by improper disposal of

nickel ndash cadmium batteries Persons can get cadmium poisoning if they eat food grown in

contaminated soil

Mercury

Mercury can be spilled from broken thermometers in hospitals and laboratories Mercury and its

compounds are particularly poisonous to fish and it can accumulate in the food chain and

eventually poison humans

Problems of disposal of solid waste

Metals may react with water andor air and corrode to form soluble compounds that are

poisonous These toxic compounds diffuse into the soil and eventually enter rivers

Rust from iron may form unsightly pools of waste that reduce plant growth

Waste from aluminium extraction may react with water and form flammable gases

form the metal For example PbO (s) + H2 (g) Pb (s) + H2O (g)

Under suitable conditions hydrogen reduces nitrogen to ammonia

N2(g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

27

At high temperatures carbon reduces metal oxides below aluminium in the reactivity series to

the metal For example

ZnO (s) + C (s) Zn (s) + CO (g)

WEEK 9 LESSON 1

TOPIC Uses of gases

Carbon dioxide

Used in fire extinguishers to put out fires Carbon dioxide is denser than air and lsquoblanketsrsquo the

fire preventing oxygen from reaching it Carbon dioxide extinguishers are especially useful for

dealing with fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment

Carbonation in soda is created when carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda can or bottle then

held under pressure As long as the can or bottle is sealed the carbon dioxide remains mostly

stable However if the drink gets shaken up or the top is opened the tiny carbon dioxide bubbles

react by bursting

Oxygen

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration We need a constant supply of oxygen for this process

Oxygen is used in hospitals to improve the respiration of patients with poor blood flow blood

poisoning and heart disease

Oxygen in used in welding (joining) metals In an oxyacetylene welding torch acetylene or

ethyne (C2H2) burns in oxygen and produces a very hot flame This flame is capable of melting

most metals

Oxygen is used in steel production A blast of oxygen is blown through the molten iron The

oxygen oxidises many of the impurities of the iron and the impurities are then removed

Carbon (allotrophes carbon dioxide)

Carbon is used as a reducing agent in extraction of some metals

Carbon as graphite is used as electrodes lubricants and lsquoleadrsquo for pencils

Carbon in the form of diamond is used for jewellery (because of its lustre) and in drill tips for

high ndash speed drills (because of its hardness)

Carbon dioxide is used as refrigerant (as dry ice) for carbonated beverages

Sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate are used for water softening and raising

agent

Sulphur

Sulphur is used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid Sulphur is also used in the manufacture of

tyres to make the rubber harder (vulcanisation)

Sulphur powder is used as fungicide on plant materials

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is used in the manufacture of fertilizers

Phosphorus is used to make phosphor bronze alloys

Phosphorus sulphide is used to make the heads of lsquostrike anywherersquo matches

38

sterilizing swimming pools and in water treatment

Chlorine is used to make the monomer vinyl chloride which is used to make the plastic PVC

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is used to make fertilisers ammonia dyes and nitric acid

WEEK 9 LESSON 3

TOPIC Harmful effects of non ndash metals and their compounds on living systems and the

environment

Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur dioxide can cause a disease of the lungs Sulphur dioxide also poisons plants in two

main ways It may enter the stomata of leaves and react with the tissue fluids to form sulphites

with the on ndash going water loss the concentration of sulphites could build up killing the cells

The second adverse effect on plants occurs when sulphur dioxide dissolves in rain thereby

increasing soil acidity A prolonged acid soil situation may lead to plasmolysis and the death of

vegetation in an area

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide combines much more readily than oxygen with haemoglobin When carbon

monoxide is inhaled it prevents the haemoglobin from taking oxygen to the bodyrsquos cells

Continued breathing of air containing carbon monoxide eventually causes death

Hydrogen sulphide

Hydrogen sulphide reacts readily with many cations forming insoluble sulphides Many cations

contribute to good health by contributing to enzyme activity and to the formation of bone

pigment and haemoglobin Although these cations are required in extremely small

concentrations they are removed by being precipitated as sulphides and thus not available for

regular function Careless dumping of refuse contributes to atmospheric pollution by hydrogen

sulphide

Oxides of nitrogen

In the presence of hydrocarbons from car exhausts ozone and sunlight nitrogen oxides react to

form photochemical smog which contains many harmful chemicals

Nitrogen dioxide can harm the lungs and irritate the nose throat and eyes The other compounds

present in photochemical smog are even more harmful irritants and can cause asthma

41

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide water vapour and ozone referred to as ldquogreenhouse gasesrdquo acting as a blanket

readily absorb some of the radiated heat energy and in turn warms the earthrsquos atmosphere This is

called the ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo Scientists have found direct correlation between carbon dioxide

concentration and global warming An increase in carbon dioxide concentration resulted in an

increase global temperatures Global warming is a major potential problem that the world faces

Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

It is believed that CFCs might be responsible for destroying the ozone layer which prevents

harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the earth The carbon ndash chlorine bond in CFC

molecule is easily broken by a UV photon producing an active chlorine atom This atom

combines with an ozone molecule forming a chlorine oxide radical and oxygen The radicle

reacts with more ozone producing the chlorine atom again This kind of reaction is repeated

thousands of times This type of reaction is thought to account for about eighty percent of the

loss of ozone observed

Nitrates and phospates

Nitrates and phosphates cause eutrophication The process leading to eutrophication are

Nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers spread on fields may dissolve in groundwater and

get into lakes and rivers

Nitrates and phosphates cause excessive growth of algae so that they cover the surface of

the water

Water plants including algae die because of lack of sunlight Aerobic bacteria feed on

the plant remains The bacteria multiply

The aerobic bacteria use up the oxygen in the water so aquatic animals die

42

Solid waste

The main sources of pollution from non ndash metals is from glass paper and plastics

Broken glass can cause injury to animals It can also cause fires by acting as lens focusing the

sunrsquos rays on flammable materials

Printing inks from paper dumped in the ground may contain toxic elements such as arsenic and

cadmium Bleaches and chlorine compounds from paper are also harmful

WEEK 10 LESSON 1

TOPIC Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry is defined as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the

use and generation of hazardous substances

There are twelve principles of green chemistry as proposed by Paul T Anastas and John C

Warner These twelve principles are

1 Prevention ndash It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been

created

2 Atom economy - Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of

all materials used in the process into the final product

3 Less hazardous chemical synthesis - Wherever practicable synthetic methods should be

designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health

and the environment

4 Safer chemical products - Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired

function while minimizing their toxicity

5 Safer solvents and other agents - The use of auxiliary substances (eg solvents

separation agents etc) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and harmless

when used

6 Minimum energy requirements - Energy requirements of chemical processes should be

recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized If

possible synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure

7 Use of renewable raw materials - A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather

than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable

8 Reduce use of additional chemicals or additional steps - Unnecessary derivatization (use

of blocking groups protection deprotection temporary modification of

physicalchemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible because such

steps require additional reagents and can generate waste

46

9 Use of catalysts ndash The use of catalysts reduce energy costs because the reactions take

place at lower temperatures The more specific the catalyst for a particular reaction is the

less it the likelihood of getting additional unwanted products

10 Nature of breakdown of products - Chemical products should be designed so that at the

end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not

persist in the environment

11 Monitoring to prevent pollution - Analytical methodologies need to be further developed

to allow for real-time in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of

hazardous substances

12 Minimise chemical accidents - Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical

process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents including

releases explosions and fires

For example Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ca(OH)2 (s)

Ca(OH)2 Cu(OH)2 Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are basic and therefore do not react with excess

sodium hydroxide solution Therefore the precipitate does not dissolve in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

Al(OH)3 Pb(OH)2 and Zn(OH)2 are amphoteric Therefore the precipitates react with the excess

sodium hydroxide solution forming soluble salts and the precipitate disappears in excess sodium

hydroxide solution

The NH4+ ion forms a soluble hydroxide However on heating it reacts with the hydroxide ion to

form ammonia and water

NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) NH3 (g) + H2O (l)

Ammonia solution is a weak alkali Metal cations except Ca2+ form insoluble hydroxides with

ammonia solution as with the sodium hydroxide solution

The amphoteric hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Pb(OH)2 and the basic hydroxides Fe(OH)2 and

Fe(OH)3 do not react with excess ammonia solution Therefore the precipitates remain

However Zn(OH)2 and Cu(OH)2 do react with excess ammonia solution to form complex

soluble hydroxides each Hence their precipitates disappear on the addition of excess ammonia

solution

After carrying out test for cations using sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution the

only cations which cannot be distinguished are Al3+ and Pb2+ A confirmatory test is carried out

to distinguish between the two cations

WEEK 7 LESSON 1 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) Define the term corrosion

Corrosion occurs when the surface of a metal reacts with water or water and oxygen to form a

layer of oxide

(b) Explain each of these statements

(i) An iron nail will not rust if it is painted but if the paint is scratched the object will

develop a large rust patch

The paint forms a barrier which stops contact with air or water and the iron Hence rusting

will not take place

However when the paint is scratched that part of the iron nail is exposed to air or water and

rusting will take place

(ii) The hull of a ship can be protected from rusting by attaching blocks of a magnesium alloy

to it

Magnesium is higher in the electrochemical series and will be oxidised in preference to iron

(iii) The corrosion of an aluminium object is a good thing where as the corrosion of an iron

object is detrimental to that iron object

Aluminium is partly protected from corrosion by its coat of aluminium oxide However as the

iron rust it flakes and fall off and the rusting process continues

64

WEEK 7 LESSON 2 WORKSHEET ANSWERS

(a) A farmer reaped a crop of tomatoes and reported that the yield was far below what was

expected He analysed the soil and found that there was a deficiency of magnesium

Discuss how the deficiency of magnesium would account for the low yield of tomatoes

Magnesium is the ion found in chlorophyll Chlorophyll plays a vital part in the process of

photosynthesis A deficiency in magnesium will lead to low chlorophyll level in the tomato

plants and hence reduce the process of photosynthesis There will be less food storage and

hence will lead to smaller yield of tomatoes

WEEK 13 LESSON 1 Worksheet Answer

a) i) B ˂ Fe ˂ A

2A (s) + Fe 2+ (aq) rarr 2A+ (aq) + Fe (s)

ii) 2A (s) + CuSO4 (aq) rarr A2SO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

Observation blue colour fades gets lighter OR brown solid forms is deposited OR metal A

decreases in size dissolves

Explanation Metal A is higher (than Fe which is higher) than Cu in the reactivity series OR

Metal A is more reactive (than Fe which is more reactive) than Cu so Metal A can displace Cu

iii) Metal A can be extracted by electrolysis (of its molten oxide) because Metal A is a very

reactive metal is high in the reactivity series forms stable oxides needs a lot of energy to be

extracted and very reactive metals are extracted by electrolysis

Metal B can be extracted by heating with carbon carbon monoxide OR by chemical reduction

of the oxide because Metal B is less reactive than Fe is low in the reactivity series forms less

stable oxides does not need a lot of energy to be extracted and oxides of less reactive metals are

easily reduced

WEEK 13 LESSON 2 Worksheet Answer

(a) (i)

Magensium is the metal ion found in chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis

A deficiency in magnesium will result in low chlorophyll yellow leaves and a reduction in

photosynthesis

Hence there will be low carbohydrates or energy production

Hence small fruits stunted growth and lower yield will result

(ii)

Metal ion Results of deficiency

Potassium Stunted growth premature loss of leaves yellowing of leaves curling of leaf tips

Calcium Growth abnormalities in tips of roots and shoots curling of leaves

Iron Yellowing of leaves

Zinc Low chlorophyll content yellowing of leaves

Manganese Yellowing of leaves poor flavors in some crops for example potato

(b)

Metal Lead is present in some types of gasoline Upon combustion lead compounds escape into

the atmosphere It accumulates in body tissues and slowly poisons the person It causes mental

illness

Non ndash metal SulphurSulphur dioxide or NitrogenNitrogen dioxide

Dissolves in rain water to form acid rain or cause respiratory illnessproblems Acid rain can

cause corrosion damage in buildings

(c)

Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or

generation of hazardous substances

43

Automotive fuels are now produced without lead so as to eliminate the release of lead

compounds into the atmosphere

Low sulphur fuel is being produced with much reduced sulphur content which causes a reduction

of sulphur dioxide release into the atmosphere
