Aluminium and zinc are both metals. Aluminium is extracted from its purified ore by electrolysis. State the name of an ore of aluminium. Explain why aluminium is extracted from its purified ore by electrolysis and not by heating with carbon. Aluminium reacts with hydrochloric acid to form aluminium chloride and a gas which ‘pops’ with a lighted splint. Identify this gas. Suggest a practical method for investigating the rate of this reaction involving collection of the gas. You may include a labelled diagram in your answer. State one use of aluminium. Give a reason why it is used for this purpose. use reason Give two advantages of recycling aluminium. Zinc is extracted from zinc oxide by heating zinc oxide with carbon monoxide. ZnO + CO Zn + CO2 How does this equation show that zinc oxide is reduced? The energy level diagram for this reaction is shown. energy Zn + CO2 ZnO + CO Explain how this diagram shows that the reaction is endothermic.

Sulfur is an element in Group VI of the Periodic Table. What is the meaning of the term element? Give one source and one use of sulfur. source use When sulfur vapour touches a cold surface it changes directly to a solid. What is the name given to this change of state? Sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen are both atmospheric pollutants. ● Give the sources of these gases. ● Describe the effects of these pollutants on the environment. ● Describe the effects of these pollutants on health. Sulfur and zinc are both insoluble in water. Sulfur does not react with hydrochloric acid but zinc reacts to form a soluble salt and a gas which escapes into the air. Suggest how you could prepare a pure dry sample of sulfur from a mixture of sulfur powder and zinc powder.
