QUESTION 5 5.1 Most metals have a high melting point. State one other physical property that all metals have. 5.2 Iron often rusts. Name the two substances, other than iron, that must be present for iron to rust. Iron can be obtained by heating iron (III) oxide with zinc powder. Fe2O3 + 3Zn —> 2Fe + 3ZnO 5.3 What can be deduced about the reactivity of zinc from this reaction? 5.4 The ionic equation for this reaction is shown. 2Fe3++ 3Zn — >2Fe + 3Zn2+ Identify the oxidising agent in this reaction.
