Goals:
Use the internet to find a site containing a simple lab activity
to support in class theory relating to reaction types.
Perform the laboratory activity in class.
Visit an internet site in order to review the theory behind single
replacement reactions.
Print a copy of the activity series to be used as a reference material
for chemical reaction product prediction.
Practice predicting the products of a single replacement reaction by
using an online homework site.
What to do:
1. Click on this link, LAB
, in order to find the procedure for the laboratory activity to be performed.
2. Carry out the lab procedure.
3. Review the theory behind single replacement reactions by clicking
here, THEORY,
so that you will then be able to predict the products of such a reaction.
4. Take a look at the ACTIVITY
SERIES for some metals. While here, print yourself a copy of
the activity series so that you can use it as a reference later.
5. Correctly PREDICT
the products of six single replacement reactions by visiting an online
elecronic homework site.
Key Question:
Why do you think that the copper from the penny did not dissolve in
the acid?
