Full course description
Understand what is metals, their alloys, usage and the recycling of metals.
This course is organized into 5 modules:
- Metals and Alloys
- The Reactivity Series
- Extracting Metals
- Rusting
- Recycling Metals
At the end of the course, you will learn how to:
- describe the general physical properties of metals
- explain what an alloy is
- identify the diagrams of structures of metals and alloys
- determine the order of reactivity of some metals, from the reactions of these metals with water, steam and dilute hydrochloric acid
- deduce the order of reactivity of metals when given a set of experimental results
- relate the method of obtaining a metal from its ore to its position in the reactivity series
- describe and explain the reactions involved in the extraction of iron in the blast furnace
- describe the presence of oxygen and water as the conditions necessary for the rusting of iron to occur
- state how rusting can be prevented
- state why there is a need to recycle metals
- discuss the issues related to recycling metals
