9C5 Module Overview and Home-Learning Subject: Science - Chemistry Year: 9 Half-Term: 1, 2 or 3 Topic: Energy changes in reactions and reactions of metals Module Overview: Endothermic and exothermic reactions Reactions of metals oxidation Reactions of metals with acid Reactions of metals with water The reactivity series of metals Displacement reactions Extracting metals Assessment: 1. Completion of an extended written task. This will take place in lessons and will be assessed based on the quality of the writing as well as the scientific content. Students will be given formative feedback on this piece of work and will be expected to re-draft it based on the feedback. 2. An end of module test involving short answers to exam questions related to the topics studied in the module. Students will be given the date of this test in advance by their teacher and will be expected to revise for it independently (see attached revision list). Home-Learning: Completion of tasks: All students are expected to complete the bronze level tasks. These are designed to consolidate students knowledge of the key concepts met in the unit. Students who complete the all the bronze level tasks to a suitable standard will be rewarded with one house point. We would expect most students to attempt the silver level tasks. These tasks are designed to deepen the students understanding of the concepts met in the unit. Students who complete the all the silver level tasks to a suitable standard will be rewarded with two house points. We would expect some students to attempt the gold level tasks. These tasks are designed to challenge the students and extend their knowledge beyond what they may have learnt in class. Students who complete the all the gold level tasks to a suitable standard will be rewarded with three house points. Students are expected to be familiar with all the key words listed in the glossary but completion of the definitions is optional. A bonus house point will be awarded to students who complete the definitions.

What are ores? c) Suggest one metal, from the reactivity series above, that you could use to extract magnesium from magnesium oxide. 5. Some metals have been known for thousands of years but others have only been discovered in the last couple of centuries. Use your knowledge of the reactivity series to explain why: Sodium was discovered in 1807 but gold was one of the earliest metals to be discovered. 6. Carbon can be used to extract copper from copper ore (copper oxide). It is mixed with the ore and heated to start the reaction. Carbon dioxide is also produced. a) What does this suggest about the position of carbon in the reactivity series? b) Write a word equation to represent the reaction between carbon and copper oxide. c) Draw a particle diagram to represent the equation shown below. C + 2CuO 2Cu + CO2
Task Sheet 7 (Silver Challenge): Energy from Reactions This list shows the reactivities of some metals. If you put a piece of iron into copper sulphate solution, you get iron sulphate and copper metal. This happens because the iron is more reactive than copper. The reaction produces energy, which heats up the solution. If you put copper into iron sulphate solution nothing happens because copper is less reactive than iron. 1. Look at these potential reactions - decide whether each one will or won t work. If there would not be a reaction, write no reaction, if there would be a reaction write the names of the products. The first two have been done for you. a) copper + lead nitrate solution b) zinc + lead nitrate solution c) magnesium + copper sulphate solution d) iron + lead chloride solution e) lead + zinc sulphate solution f) zinc + copper sulphate solution 2. The amount of energy given out by a displacement reaction depends on the difference in reactivity between the two metals. For instance, reaction f in question 1 will produce more energy than reaction d. Write the reactions in question 1 in order, starting with the reaction that will produce the most energy. You can just use the letters for the reactions. most energy produced least energy produced 3. Metals can also be used to produce electrical energy. a) If one electrode is made of copper, which metal should you use for the other electrode to give the highest voltage? b) Which combination of metals do you think will give the highest voltage: copper and lead, or zinc and lead?.. c) Explain your answer to part b.
Task Sheet 8 (Gold Challenge): Looking for Patterns When metals react with oxygen they turn into metal oxides and gain in mass. Sanjay wondered whether the gain in mass might be linked to the reactivity of the metal. Clare wondered whether there was any relationship between the gain in mass and the position of the element in the Periodic Table. They collected the data in the table and tested their ideas. All the figures in the table refer to the mass of metal oxide formed when 10 g of metal was heated and completely converted into the metal oxide. Metal Mass of oxide formed / g Increase in mass / g aluminium 18.9 8.9 % increase 8.9 x 100 = 89 10 Atomic number Order of reactivity 13 5 calcium 14.0 20 3 copper 12.5 29 9 iron 14.3 26 7 lead 10.3 82 8 magnesium 16.7 12 4 potassium 14.2 19 1 sodium 13.5 11 2 zinc 12.5 30 6 1. Work out the increase in mass for each metal (remember that you started with 10 g of each metal). Write your answers in the table. The first one has been done for you. 2. Calculate the percentage increase in mass for each metal. The first one has been done for you. % increase = increase in mass x 100 original mass 3. Plot a scatter graph showing the percentage increase in mass against the order of reactivity of the metals. Ask your teacher for graph paper and stick it in. 4. Plot a second scatter graph showing the percentage increase in mass against atomic number. 5. Were Sanjay s or Clare s ideas right? For each graph decide whether: there is a definite relationship between the variables, that applies to all the metals there is a relationship (a correlation) that applies to most of the metals and if so, which elements do not fit the trend there is definitely no relationship between the variables. Write your answers on the lined paper after the graphs. 6. What important factor has not been considered at all in this analysis that may help to explain any anomalous results?
