III Burning Phosphorus |
Procedure |
aRemove a small piece of phosphorus from water and using a deflagrating spoon with a lid cover places it on a Bunsen flame |
Observe |
Carefully put the burning phosphorus to cover gas jar containing about 3cm3 of water Test the solutionmixture using litmus papers |
b Remove another small piece of phosphorus from water and using a deflagrating spoon with a lid cover place it on a Bunsen flame |
Slowly lower it into a gas jar containing Oxygen gas with about 5 cm3 of water Observe |
Swirl Test the solutionmixture using litmus papers |
Observations |
Phosphorus catches fire before heating on Bunsen flame |
Dense white fumes of a gas produced that has pungent choking poisonous smell |
Solution formed turn blue litmus paper faint red |
Red litmus paper remains red |
Explanation |
Phosphorus is stored in water On exposure to air it instantaneously fumes then catch fire to burn in air and faster in Oxygen with a yellow flame producing dense white acidic fumes of Phosphorus V oxide gas |
Phosphoric V oxide gas dissolves in water to form weak acidic solution of Phosphoric V acid |

e Reactivity seriescompetition for combined Oxygen |
The reactivity series is a list of elementsmetals according to their affinity for oxygen |
Some metals have higher affinity for Oxygen than others |
A metalelement with higher affinity for oxygen is placed higheron top of the one less affinity |
The complete reactivity series of metalselements |
Metals compete for combined Oxygen A metalelement with higher affinity for oxygen removes Oxygen from a metal lower in the reactivity seriesless affinity for Oxygen |
When a metalelement gainsacquire Oxygen the process is called Oxidation |
When metalelement donatelose Oxygen the process is called Reduction |
An elementmetalcompound that undergoes Oxidation is called Reducing agent |
An elementmetalcompound that undergoes Reduction is called Oxidizing agent |
A reaction in which both Oxidation and Reduction take place is called a Redox reaction |
Redox reaction between Magnesium and copper II Oxide |
Procedure |
Place about 2g of copper II oxide in a crucible with a lid Place another 2g of Magnesium powder into the crucible Mix thoroughly |
Cover the crucible with lid Heat strongly for five minutes |
Allow the mixture to cool Open the lid Observe |
Observation |
Colour change from black to brown White solid power formed |
Explanation |
Magnesium is higher in the reactivity series than Copper It has therefore higher affinity for Oxygen than copper |
When a mixture of copper II oxide and Magnesium is heated Magnesium reduces copper II oxide to brown copper metal and itself oxidized to Magnesium oxide Magnesium is the reducing agent because it undergoes oxidation process |
Copper II oxide is the oxidizing agent because it undergoes redox reduction process |
The mixture should be cooled before opening the lid to prevent hot brown copper from being reoxidized back to black copper II oxide |
The reaction of Magnesium and Copper II oxide is a reaction |

The reactivity series is used during extraction of metals from their ore An ore is a rock containing mineral element which can be extracted for commercial purposes Most metallic ores occur naturally as |
i oxides combined with Oxygen |
ii sulphides combined with Sulphur |
iii carbonates combined with carbon and Oxygen |
Metallic ores that naturally occur as metallic sulphides are first roasted in air to form the corresponding oxide Sulphur IV oxide gas is produced eg |
Copper I sulphide Oxygen Copper I Oxide Sulphur IV oxide |
