Iron reacts with oxygen to give iron(III) oxide according to the following balanced equation: 4 Fe ( s ) + 3 O 2 ( g ) 2 Fe 2 O 3 ( s ) Identify the limiting reactant in each of the following reactant mixtures:
the equation. a) aluminum reacts with iron (III) oxide (This is how iron is extracted from iron ore. It is heated at a high temperature with aluminum present. In the reaction, iron is separated from the iron ore producing a new aluminum compound.) 2Al + Fe. 2. O. 3. 2Fe + Al. 2. O. 3. b) sodium reacts with water (This reaction is dangerous.
Choose 1 reaction you haven’t ticked and explain why it doesn’t happen. The ticked reaction happen, as the metal is more reactive than the metal in the compound so a displacement reaction takes place.
Study the picture equation below. It shows how iron combines chemically with oxygen. Can you write Fe + O 2 → Fe 2 O 3 a) Drawa picture diagram of the equation. b) What is the name of the product in the reaction c) Write the word equation. d) Balance the chemical reaction equation. e) What group on the periodic table does iron come from?
• The aim of this activity is to help students to internalise the fact that when compounds react with oxygen, the elements within the compound effectively break apart and then each react separately with oxygen. • Print onto card using one colour for oxygen and one colour for all the other elements – it may be best to laminate these cards.
