The Displacement Reaction
The Displacement Reactions

Purpose: to see how displacement reaction works with different chemicals and what chemical has more reactivity series then other

Hypothesis:
Iron + Copper Sulfate: Iron will displace copper because it is more reactive and it is going to end up as Iron Sulphide + Copper
Copper + Silver Nitrate: Copper will displace Silver because it is more reactive and it is going to end up as Copper Nitride +
Magnesium + Copper oxide: Magnesium will displace Copper because it is more reactive.
Aluminum + Iron Oxide: Aluminum will displace Iron because it is more reactive.
Zinc + Hydrochloric acid: Zinc will replace Hydrogen because it is more reactive.
Copper + Hydrochloric Acid: Copper will not displace Hydrogen because copper is more reactive.
Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid: Magnesium will displace Hydrogen because it is more reactive and end up as Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen.
Sodium + Hydrochloric acid: Sodium will displace Hydrogen because it is more reactive and end up as Sodium Chloride + Hydrogen.

Apparatus: Test Tube, Goggles, Iron nail, Copper Wire, Silver Nitrate, Hydrochloric Acid, Magnet, Zinc, Magnesium, Sodium, Aluminum

Procedure:
Iron + Copper Sulfate: Obtain a test tube and fill it with Copper Sulfate till its half full. place iron nail in the test tube carefully and wait for 10 minutes
Copper + Silver Nitrate: Obtain a test tube place the copper wire inside it carefully then put Silver Nitrate till it is half way filled. Wait for 10 minutes and observe what happens
Magnesium + Copper oxide: Obtain a small beaker put some magnesium and copper in the beaker then carefully turn on the heating stand. Then place the beaker under the heating stand make sure to stand away from it and record observation frequently.
Aluminum + Iron Oxide: make a mixture of Aluminum and iron oxide. Obtain a 200 ml beaker and place the mixture inside

    Your teacher will demonstrate for the class the reaction of metallic copper with concentrated nitric acid, HNO3. This must be done in the fume hood. (Caution: Avoid breathing poisonous gases. Avoid contact of skin with nitric acid. It burns skin and clothing.) One student will be asked to feel the side of the demonstration beaker and report to the group. The products formed are copper(II) nitrate solution, Cu(NO3)2(aq), and nitrogen dioxide gas, NO2(g).…

    The purpose of this experiment is to observe the reaction when a metal is placed in an aqueous solution and to determine the relative reactivity of magnesium copper zinc tin aluminum and hydrogen. Also to create an activity series based on the observation. A single displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive element replaces another element in a compound. This happens when a new compound is formed and an element is released.…

    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.…
