Virtual Lab: Developing a Metal Activity Series

Document Content and Description Below

Virtual Lab: Developing a Metal Activity Series Purpose: To develop a metal activity series based on a series of potential metal and aqueous solution reactions. Hypothesis: If the activity of met ... als are being tested based on a series of potential metal and aqueous solutions, then one can develop a metal activity series because the metal’s reactivity will be revealed. Procedure: Access the virtual lab by clicking on the following link. You will be directed to another page where you will perform some virtual reactions between metal strips and aqueous salts and acids. Part A: 1. Click on the START button to start the simulation. Do not click on the BACK button. 2. Click on ACTIVITY 1. 3. Click on each metal shown on the right (Mg, Cu, Zn, and Ag). After you click on each metal, click on the light blue box to start the reactions. When prompted, click on the light blue box again to remove the metals from the solutions. Looking at the surface of the metal, record your observations in the table below. Notice that the Mg metal placed into the Mg(NO3)2 solution does not produce a reaction. The xxx on the data table represents each metal placed into the solution that is composed of the same metal cation. If the metal strip does not react with a solution (that is composed of a different metal cation), record NR (no reaction). Part B: Click on Activity 2. Repeat as in Part A, using different metals and solutions. Part C: Click on Activity 3. Repeat as in Part A using different metals and solutions. Part D: Click on Activity 4. In this activity, you will be testing the reaction between various metals and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Complete the following table, making observations about the reactions or non-reactions [Show More]
