4. A more reactive metal will displace
a less reactive metal from solution
Iron(s) + silver nitrate(aq) silver(s) + iron nitrate(aq)

5. Today’s lesson
• Extraction of metals from their ores related
to the reactivity series
• Uses and properties of metals
6. Ores
Most metals are found naturally in rocks
called ores. They are in compounds,
chemically bonded to other elements
iron ore
10. Extracting metals with carbon
Carbon is higher
than some metals in
the reactivity series.
It can be used to
extract medium
reactive metals.
11. Extracting metals with carbon
lead oxide + carbon lead + carbon dioxide
2PbO(s) + C(s) 2Pb(s) + CO2(g)
12. Extracting metals with carbon
lead oxide + carbon lead + carbon dioxide
2PbO(s) + C(s) 2Pb(s) + CO2(g)
carbon is oxidised
lead oxide is
reduced
