What two processes are used to extract metals?
There are 3 means of extracting metals that are used more than any others and they are: Reduction with carbon: An ore of a metal which is less reactive than carbon is heated with carbon and the more reactive carbon will separate the metallic element from its ore e.g extraction of Iron in a blast furnace Electrolysis: An electrical current is passed through a solution of the metal ore and the metal is split from its ore and collects at an electrode, this is done for metals more reactive than carbon Extraction by other metals: As some metals are more reactive than the other this can be used to split up the metallic ore, an example of this is the extraction of Titanium which involves the use of several other more reactive metals.
What method is used to extract metals that are above carbon in the reactivity series?
Usually they put electricity into the metal ion solution to reverse the ionization
Which element is used to extract iron?
Carbon
What is a colorless reactive gas produced when such as coal and oil are burned?
This gas is carbon dioxide but it is not so reactive.
Is the carbon family or the noble gases more reactive?
the carbon family. the noble gases never react
Why cant carbon be used to extract sodium from its ore?
because sodium is more reactive than carbon and therefore a displacement reaction cannot take place- which would normally separate sodium from its ore.
Why cant titanium be extracted from its ore by carbon?
carbon cannot be used to extract titanium because titanium is more reactive than carbon so therefore, a displacement reaction cannot happen hope this helps :)
Is carbon a very reactive non metal?
Carbon is a very reactive nonmetal but not the most reactive.
Is carbon reactive or non-reactive?
Carbon is considered highly reactive. This is due to the fact that it can react with many elements on Earth.
Is carbon very reactive or is it non reactive?
Carbon is a reactive chemical element if it is in gaseous form , naturally carbon exists as Coke (Coal), Diamond, Graphite and other allotropic (Solid) forms and all these forms of carbon are almost nonreactive.
How does metal come from the ground?
through the process of smelting ore Ore is mined from the ground in rock or particle form and then processed using many different techniques. The most basic form of smelting involves the utilization of the different melting points of metal, allowing a smelter to heat ore to a desired temperature and melt out the desired product. This metal is then refined.
Is carbon 12 more reactive than carbon 14?
Carbon with a mass of 14 is more reactive. It is an isotope. but i don't know exactly why it is more reactive..
Is Carbon more reactive than Phosphorus or vice versa?
carbon is more reactive
How are minerals extracted from their ores?
metals are extracted from their ores according to their reactivity series.firstly, metals that are more reactive that carbon are extracted by electrolysis whic is breaking the compounds down using electricity.secondly, metals that are less reactive than carbon are extracted by reduction in which carbon is added to the metal ore, carbon react with oxygen and the metal remain by itself pure.example: Zinc oxide + Carbon ----> Zinc + Carbon dioxideGold and Platinum are found in nature by themselves.
Why is carbon not used for reducing aluminum from aluminum oxide?
because aluminium is more reactive than carbon (open "reactive series" in internet).
What element is less reactive than potassium but more reactive than carbon?
Sodium
Which element is most reactive lithium carbon fluorine or helium?
The most reactive is fluorine.
