Assignment Chapter 10 Occurence and extraction of metals (Answer)
17. (a) Lead metal 1M
(b) Carbon dioxide 1M
(c) 2 PbO(s) + C(s) 2 Pb(s) + CO2(g) 1M
(d) Yes 1M
2CuO(s) + C(s) 2Cu(s) + CO2(g) 1M
(e) No 1M
this is because magnesium is a reactive metal. 1M
18. (a) (i) Electrolysis of molten ore 1M
(ii) aluminium oxide → aluminium + oxygen 1M
(iii) Potassium/sodium/calcium/magnesium (Any ONE) 1M
(b) (i) HgS (s)+ O2 (g) Hg(l) + SO2(g) 1M
(ii) ZnS (s) + O2(g) ZnO(s) + SO2(g) 1M
2ZnO (s) + C(s) 2Zn(s) + CO2(g) 1M
(iii) Thermometer 1M
because it can expand at higher temperatue. 1M

5. Aluminium is the Aluminium is the C Although aluminium is the most abundant
cheapest metal on most abundant metal metal in the Earth’s crust, aluminium is not
the Earth. in the Earth’s crust. the cheapest as the cost for extraction of

Assignment Chapter 11 Reactivity of metals (Answer)
21. (a)Oxygen 1M
(b) Silver 1M
(c) Hydrogen 1M
(d) Potassium or sodium 1M
(e) (i) Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) 1M
(ii) Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s) 1M
(f) A, zinc, B 1M
8. (a) Calcium burns quite vigorously with a brick-red flame to produce a white powder. 1M
2Ca(s) + O2(g) → 2CaO(s) 1M
(b) Potassium melts to form a silvery ball. The ball moves about very quickly on the water 1M
surface with a hissing sound. It burns with a lilac flame.
2K(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H2(g) 1M
(c) Magnesium gives an intense white light. A white solid is produced. 1M
Mg(s) + H2O(g) → MgO(s) + H2(g) 1M
(d) Zinc dissolves and colourless gas bubbles evolve. 1M
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) 1M
(e) Copper slowly dissolves and some shiny silvery deposits form on the copper surface. The 1M
solution gradually turns blue.
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s) 1M
(f) Magnesium dissolves and colourless gas bubbles evolve. 1M
Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) → MgSO4(aq) + H2(g) 1M
19. (a) Magnesium oxide 1M
(b) Magnesium burns with a very bright white light. 1M
(c) 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) 1M
(d) When calcium burns with oxygen, a brick-red light instead of a very bright white light is 1M
produced.
Hence, calcium is not suitable to replace magnesium in the flashbulb. 1M
(e) Magnesium would be consumed every time after use. 1M
