Chemistry Practical: Activity Series of Metals Introduction: The chemical activity of a metal is directly related to its practical use. In this investigation you will investigate the chemical activity of metals with oxygen‚ water‚ acid and alkali‚ to rank metals in order of their activity. Aim: To observe the reactivity of metals in order to determine the activity series of metals. Risk Assessment: In this investigation‚ hydrochloric acid solution is used which is toxic by all routes of

ACTIVITY SERIES The activity series of metals is an list of metals ranked in order of decreasing reactivity to displace hydrogen gas from water and acid solutions. It can also be used to predict which metals will displace other metals in aqueous solutions. In introductory chemistry‚ the reactivity series or activity series is an empirical series of metals‚ in order of "reactivity" from highest to lowest. It is used to summarize information about the reactions of metals with acids and water‚ single

Making an Activity Series of Metals using different Solutions Purpose/ Hypothesis: The purpose of this lab was to clearly identify the reactivity of magnesium‚ zinc and copper. The metals reactivity will be exemplified as it will be tested with different solutions such as zinc sulfate (ZnSO4)‚ copper sulfate (CuSO4)‚ hydrochloric acid (HCL)‚ magnesium sulfate (Mg2SO4)‚ iron (II) sulfate (FeSO4) and tin (II) chloride (SnCl2). This will allow us in creating an activity series to visually see the reactivity

WHAT IS METAL? A metal is a chemical element that is a good conductor of both electricity and heat. Metals are malleable and ductile and have lustrous appearance. They have moderate to high physical constants and high tensile strength. Metals are further divided into two main groups - ferrous and non ferrous metals. TYPES OF METAL • FERROUS METAL These are metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added‚ to give the required properties

Metals and Non-metals Elements are divided mainly into two groups on the basis of physical and chemical properties – Metal and Non-metal. Metals: Part - I Physical Properties of Metals:- Hardness:- Most of the metals are hard‚ except alkali metals‚ such as sodium‚ potassium‚ lithium‚ etc. Sodium‚ potassium‚ lithium etc. are very soft metals‚ these can be cut using knife. Strength:- Most of the metals are strong and have high tensile strength. Because of this big structures are made using metals
