Single Displacement Reactions and the Activity Series of Metals: Lab Explained

Introduction Every day substances are constantly being altered in some way. These altercations can be classified as physical or chemical changes. Physical changes are altercations in which the chemical composition of a substance remains constant. A common example is the change in the state of matter of dihydrogen monoxide (water – H2O). Its physical properties…

Single Displacement Reactions Lab Explained

Purpose: Two observe two different single displacement reactions. Hypothesis: When zinc is added to copper (II) sulfate, a single displacement reaction will take place, creating a solid, copper, and zinc sulfate. When zinc is added to hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas will be released a solid, zinc chloride, will be formed. Materials: Hydrochloric acid Zinc Copper…
