Welcome to our lesson on using the Reactivity Series! In this video, you’ll learn how to harness the Reactivity Series to predict and explain metal reactions in everyday chemical changes.

📚 In this lesson, you will learn:

How to use the Reactivity Series to understand why certain metals, like iron, rust when exposed to oxygen and water, while others like gold remain untarnished.

How to predict outcomes of metal reactions, using examples such as magnesium and iron with hydrochloric acid, guided by their positions in the Reactivity Series.

The process of metal extraction using the Reactivity Series, including how metals like zinc can be extracted using carbon reduction.

How to explain displacement reactions where more reactive metals displace less reactive ones from their compounds, like zinc in copper sulphate solution.

✨ Key concepts covered:

Real-world metal reactions: Understand the practical implications of metal reactivity, including why some metals corrode and others are used in jewellery and electronics.

Metal extraction: Learn the methods for extracting metals from their ores based on their reactivity, with a focus on the reduction process using carbon.

Displacement reactions: Grasp how more reactive metals replace less reactive ones to form new compounds, and interpret these changes with chemical equations.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to confidently use the Reactivity Series to predict and rationalise the chemical behaviour of metals, aiding in both academic and real-world applications.
