(i)
[1mark]
Draw a labelled diagram to show how the conditions for the rusting of iron
involve in the ionization of iron and the flow of electron. [3 marks]
Describe the reactions that take place at the edge of water droplet (positive
2+
terminal) during the rusting of iron after the Fe and OH ions are formed.

2. SPM/2004/P3/Q2
Metals are arranged in the Reactivity Series based on the reactivity of metal with oxygen.
Figure 2.1 shows the set-up of apparatus for an experiment to determine the order of metals
in the Reactivity Series.
Potassium manganate(VII) is heated to release oxygen gas to react with metal powder.
Figure 2.1
The experiment is carried out using metal powders of copper, zinc, magnesium and lead
reacted with oxygen respectively.
Observations on the metal powders of copper, zinc, magnesium and lead in the
experiments are shown in Figure 2.2
Figure 2.2
(a)
Look at the flame or glow in each diagram in Figure 2.2. Complete Figure 2.2 by
stating the observations for the reaction of metal powders with oxygen.

2.4
Predict the positions of aluminium in the Reactivity Series of metals in
(d)(i). Draw an arrow ( ) in (d)(i) to show the position of aluminium in
this reactivity series.

Figure 2.5
Based on the observations in Figure 2.5, classify the metals into two groups, those
which are more reactive than carbon and those which are less reactive than carbon.
Put your answer in a suitable table.
