S4 WA1 revision (Periodic table, Reactivity series, QA, redox)

Few drops of sodium hydroxide solution is added to a solution containing zinc cations.

Give the chemical name of the precipitate.

Magnesium strip dipped into copper(II) nitrate solution. A chemical change occured.

Choose all that are correct.

• Mg became Mg²⁺

• Cu became Cu²⁺

• Mg²⁺ became Mg

• Cu²⁺ became Cu

Aqueous bromine is mixed with aqueous sodium chloride. Mixture turns brown because

• bromine has displaced chlorine during the chemical reaction

• chlorine has displaced bromine during the chemical reaction

• bromine has displaced sodium during the chemical reaction

• bromine is brown and there is no chemical reaction
