What happens to the particles in a reaction between Iron and sulfur you have to make a poster?

Write Up; `A reaction between Iron and Sulfur.' * Then identify which of the substances are solids, liquids or gases. * State whether iron and sulfur are metals or non-metals. * State how you knew a reaction had happened. * Describe it's appearance. * Try and use symbols from the periodic table. Try and get all those in the poster but make sure you get the correct answers! And also go onto youtube and type in, `RuGiist' and watch her videos :)


How does phosphorus bronze react with aluminum?

If bronze and aluminum are together in salt water the aluminum will corrode due to galvanism or galvanic action. The reaction is called galvanic corrosion. It is created by electro chemical reaction between metals in moist environment.


Why does atomic size increase with reactivity for metals and decrease with reactivity for non metals?

Far as I am aware a larger atom (They get bigger going down the table) has its electrons orbiting farther from the nucleus so it has a more tenous hold on them, so they can be lost easier. A reaction is just the exchange of electrons. Most metals (or all, not sure) lose electrons in a reaction. Because non metals have to gain them in a reaction, the smaller the atom the better the grip they can get on them. (electric grip)


Why is titration between potassium permanganate and sodium oxalate conducted slowly?

It is a reaction between negatively charged ions so they repel each other. For the reaction to work it is first heated, the Mno4- reacts with the Mn2+ produced to form Mn3+. The Mn3+ then reacts with the ethanedoate to form co2 and Mn2+. This is an example of autocatalysis.

What reation will occur with CaCl2 and NaCl?

No reaction happens. Only way to get a reaction going is if you have two molecules with different Metals and Non-metals. Metals in this one are different but non-metals are not so no reaction.
