AQA GCSE Science A (4461) Chemistry
I. Chemistry 1a – Products from Rocks
2. How do rocks provide metals and how are metals used?
to consider and evaluate the social, economic and environmental impacts of exploiting metal ores, of using metals and of recycling metals
Ores contain enough metal to make it economical to extract the metal and this changes over time.
Unreactive metals such as gold are found in the Earth as the metal itself but most metals are found as compounds that require chemical reactions to extract the metal.
Metals that are less reactive than carbon can be extracted from their oxides by reduction with carbon, for example iron oxide is reduced in the blast furnace to make iron. (Details of the blast furnace are not required.)
The elements in the central block of the periodic table are known as transition metals. Like other metals they are good conductors of heat and electricity and can be bent or hammered into shape. They are useful as structural materials.
Copper has properties that make it useful for electrical wiring and plumbing. Copper can be extracted by electrolysis of solutions containing copper compounds. The supply of copper-rich ores is limited.
Low density and resistance to corrosion make aluminium and titanium useful metals. These metals cannot be extracted from their oxides by reduction with carbon. Current methods of extraction are expensive (many stages, much energy).
