Single Displacement Reaction

The objective of this experiment was to observe evidence of a reaction and to determine the chemical equation, if there is a reaction. In order for a reaction to occur, a metal strip must have evidence of black or grey deposits on the surface of the metal once dipped into the solution. The reactivity of an element is related to its tendency to lose or gain electrons. Three metal strips that were used are copper, lead and zinc as well as the solutions of silver nitrate, copper(II) nitrate, lead(II) nitrate, magnesium sulfate and dilute(3M) sulfuric acid. The copper metal strip was placed in the silver nitrate and dilute(3M) sulfuric acid, the lead metal strip was placed in the copper(II) nitrate and the zinc metal strip was placed in the lead(II) nitrate, magnesium sulfate and dilute(3M) sulfuric acid. Overall, putting these different strips of metal into different solutions will help determine the reactivity of copper, lead, zinc, magnesium, silver and hydrogen. …show more content…
We then observe if there are any evidence of reaction which would be bubbling or appearance of metallic deposits on the surface of the metal stip.

    Composition of Penny Using Redox Reactions

    The understanding of oxidation and reduction must be clear to carry out this lab. With the understanding of these concepts we can calculate or hypothesize for the properties of each element or compound. Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL, then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield.…

    Add a small piece of zinc to a test tube containing 30 drops of 6 M HCl and record what happens. 9. Add a 1 inch piece of copper wire to a test tube containing 30 drops of 6 M HCl and record what happens. (Is copper an active metal or inactive metal with HCl? Look up an activity series of metals online to check). 10. IN THE HOOD, take a 2 inch piece of magnesium ribbon and hold it with a pair of crucible tongs. Light the magnesium metal with a Bunsen burner and record your observations. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE BURNING MAGNESIUM. LABORATORY REPORT Students will write an individual or group laboratory report at the discretion of the professor. Include the following information in your laboratory report, due at the beginning of the laboratory period next week. 1. Title. Title of the experiment, your name, your partner 's name and the date the laboratory was performed. 2. Introduction. This will be your opportunity to practice writing introductions. The introduction to the lab should be about chemical reactions in general (why they are important, examples of specific types of chemical reactions such as combustion, precipitation, redox, etc.), not about how to write and balance an equation. For complete guidelines, go to “Laboratory Reports” on the Chem 1061 website. 3. Experimental Details. A description of the procedure you followed to produce the experimental data and results. Alternatively, you may reference the procedure by citing the URL’s…

    In this experiment, we took a look at how copper (Cu0) reacts with different substances to get an end result where it is transformed back to its original state. There were five different reactions that involved copper. We first experimented with copper metal and converted it to copper (II) nitrate. We then converted copper (II) nitrate to copper (II) hydroxide. Next, we converted copper (II) hydroxide to copper (II) oxide. After that, out next conversion was from copper (II) oxide to copper (II) sulfate. Our last conversion was from copper (II) sulfate back to a copper metal.…

    Safety goggles were put on, hair was tied back and sleeves were rolled up. One cm of CuSO4·5H20 was added to a cleaned dried test tube. The test tube was heated until no furthered changes were observed. All observations were recorded then the substance was then disposed of in the waste container provided. 1/3 of a test tube was filled with Na2SO4 solution. An eye dropper filled with BaCl2 was added to the test tube. All observations were recorder. A 3 cm long trip of Magnesium ribbon was held above a flame of a Bunsen burner. The result of the flame should not be directly looked at. All observations were recorded. A test tube was filled 1/3 of dilute H2SO4. A sanded mossy piece of zinc mental was added to the acid and the test tube was covered. A flaming splint was brought to the mouth of the test tube. All observations were recorded. A sanded iron nail was added to a test tube and covered with CuSO4 solution. The test tube was left for several minutes. The nail was then removed and observations were recorded. An eyedropper full of lead(II) nitrate was added to a test tube combined with an eyedropper full of potassium iodide. The reaction was left for serval minutes before observations were recorded. The substance was then disposed of in the waste container provided. Manganese (V) oxide was added to a test tube with hydrogen peroxide and the test tube was then covered. A glowing splint test was then inserted into the test tube. All observations were then recorded. Metals were thrown in the trash while most solution were poured down the drain…

    Oxidation

    Purpose: To determine relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of a series of metals and ions. Oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously side by side. A reduction reaction occurs only if an oxidation reaction occurs and vise-versa. Electrons are given in oxidation while in reduction electrons are gained. Oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has a large tendency to gain electrons, while reducing agent is a chemical substance causes other substances to be reduced and itself oxidized. Procedure: For this lab was used metals and substances provided in the lab oxidation-reduction pack, and some extra materials. Using the well-plate and the correct amount of drops and the right metal on the right well, to see the reaction with each different substance. Observations: This experiment required some time and patience to analyze the results. For each well required a different substance and a different metal to be inserted in the well. Different metals react faster or slower depending the substance they are added. Na2SO3 with magnesium  bubbles appeared around the magnesium piece and we could predict a reaction. MgSO4 with zinc  No reaction observed Zn (NO3)2 with lead and aluminum  No reaction observed FeCl3 with lead and aluminum  reacts with foil, the piece dissolves in the solution and the lead piece seems to be oxidizing. CuSO4 with iron  the screw seems to be oxidized quickly; it changes the color of it to a pinkish tone.…
