What problems are caused when extracting metals from their ores by displacement?

Using Electrolysis: is the most powerful extraction method. But it takes a lot of electricity and that makes it expensive. Hence, electrolysis is only used for the most reactive metals.The method of extracting metal from its ore depends upon how reactive the metal is. The more ractive the metal, the more difficult and expensive it is to seperate from its ore.

How can a table listing of metals in an activity series be useful for prending whether a chemical reaction will occur?
An activity series of metals can predict whether a replacement (displacement) reaction will occur. You use the activity series to compare the reactivity of different metals in order to predict whether a replacement reaction will occur. A metal that is above another metal in the series will replace that metal in a compound.
What are the chacteistics of metals?
what are the characteristics of metals? metals? non-metals?
The majority of elements in the periodic table are?
Metals (as opposed to non-metals and semi-metals) or solids (as opposed to liquids and gases). There could possible be more answers as your questions is not very specific.
Where are the metals semi metals and nonmetals located on the periodic table?
Non-metals are located on the right side. Transitional metals in the middle area.
Aluminium oxide can be separated by electricity?
there are two ways of extracting aluminum from its ore 1) old way: - displacement reaction ex: - Na + Al2O3 ==> Na2O + Al 2) new way: electrolysis electrolysis: - is a way of extracting highly reactive metals from their ore using electricity. so the short answer is YES
Where are places for extracting metals and chemicals?
Mineral ores,coal
What are the industrial applications of redox reactions?
extracting metals from ore and galvanized batteries
Which common way of extracting metals is the most expensive?
it is to extract the metal by electrolysis
Why some metals react with acids in terms of displacement of hydrogen?
The metals which are more reactive than hydrogen displaces hydrogen from its solution. It is also an example of displacement reaction.
How do you get the metals that I use every day?
you get it from the ground either by using a ore or extracting it from the ground
Which kind of metal applied hydrogen displacement?
alkili metals
What are general ways of extracting metals from its ore?
1. High Temperatures 2. Solutions3. Electricity
Are problems in lakes caused by acid rain solved by adding metal?
Alkaline substances (some are metals) to neutralise the waters pH.
What process involves extracting metals from other substances or alloys?
Electrolysis... Some people say electro refining
What is the importance of metal activity series on displacement reactions?
Metals higher in the reactivity series displace metals that are lower down. This concept has wider application than simply metals.
Most single-displacement reactions involve what?
It involve Metals and HalogensDone by Feras Ghanem
