Experiment: Reactivity of Metals in Single Displacement Reactions, Lab Reports of Chemistry

This document details a chemistry 1121 experiment on metal reactivity, focusing on single displacement reactions. The experiment involves reacting an iron nail with copper sulfate solution to observe chemical changes. The procedure includes immersing the nail in the solution and observing color changes. Results indicate iron displaces copper, forming iron sulfate and copper deposition on the nail, confirming a chemical change. This experiment provides a hands-on understanding of single displacement reactions and metal reactivity, illustrating oxidation-reduction processes and chemical transformations. The experiment's success is demonstrated through observed color changes and new molecule formation, reinforcing chemical reaction principles and visual indicators. This experiment is useful for students to understand single displacement reactions.

Copper sulfate CuSO 4 It causes Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and profuse sweating. It is also toxic to plants and aquatic life. Iron nail Fe (^) (s) N/A

Procedure:

1. Took two stands with clamps and placed test tubes in each stand.

2. Tied one iron nail with thread and hanged it in one of the boiling test tubes.

3. Tied the other end of thread to the stand.

4. Poured copper sulfate solution in both test tubes and let them rest for one day.

5. Removed the iron nail from copper sulfate solution and placed in watch glass.

6. Compared the iron nail with other nails.

7. Analyzed the color of solution in both test tubes.
