Lab 8

Objectives:
Materials
Paper towels
From LabPaq 1 Well-Plate-24
1 Tweezers, plastic
1 Copper (II) Sulfate, 1 M - 3 mL in Pipet
1 Iron (III) Chloride, 2 M - 3 mL in Pipet
1 Iron Metal, 2 pc in Bag 2"x 3
Data:
Mg>Na
Questions:
A. Based on your observations make an activity
series of the metals used. List them in such a way
that the most active metal is on the left and the least
active metal is on the right. Remember, sodium and
copper are metals, too.
Zn > Pb > Fe > Cu > Mg > Na
B. Suppose you inserted a piece of copper into a
solution of nickel chloride and observed no reaction.
Then if you inserted a piece of iron into the solution
NiCl2 (aq)
identify:

8.
Analysis:
For reaction 1 and 2, both Mg and Zn produce bubbles when combined with SO 4.
They are displacing SO4.
Both Mg and Zn are more reactive than Na.
No change is observed in reaction 3. Thus lead does not replace Zn and so is less
reactive than Zn.
Conclusion:
While doing this lab, students should take extra precaution by wearing goggles and
gloves.
Students will be able to state if a reaction is a redox reaction or non-redox reaction.
Possible error can be when doing the observation, students should be able to tell
when there is small bubble; it might be difficult to see right away clearly. Also some
reactions might take more than 6 or 7 minutes, so one should wait to see the
completion before suggesting that there is no reaction.
