Grade achieved: 9. I have put an immense amount of hard work into making this set of notes and it was well worth it as it enabled me to achieve the highest grade possible. My notes are based on class notes, online resources and the CGP textbook attached. Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information.

Extracting Metals
The first metal discovered by man around 420BC
An ore is a metal oxide. It is a rock containing a high enough percentage of a metal to make it economically viable to
extract. Contain a high percentage of impurities such as silicon dioxide (sand).

Carbon + Zinc Oxide à Carbon dioxide + Zinc Carbon is oxidised because it gains oxygen
Displaces Zinc is reduced because it loses oxygen


It is better to extract iron by heating iron oxide with
carbon because electrolysis of molten iron oxide
requires more energy to keep the salt molten than for
the electrolysis than heating with carbon so it is more
expensive.

Electrolysis is chemical decomposition produced by
passing an electric current through a liquid or solution
containing ions.

If a metal is less reactive than carbon, it can be
extracted from its oxide by heating with carbon.
The carbon displaces the metal from the compound,
and removes the oxygen from the oxide

, Experiments
It is often difficult to tell if a metal has
been formed as it is coated in a black
charcoal powder.

To improve experiment:
Tip the mixture into water, the charcoal
should float on the top and as the
particles of the metal ore are denser they
will sink to the bottom.
