Single Replacement Reactions Experiment #9
Single Replacement Reactions • Oxidation reduction or Redox reactions • Electron transfer reactions • A + BX B + AX • Element A loses electrons to element B • A + B+? A+? + B • A A+? + ? electrons • B+? + ? electrons B
Experiment • Add sodium metal to water • What happens?? • Na + H2O • Which is more active Na or H?
Experiment • Add potassium metal to water • What happens?? • K + H2O • Which is more active K or H? • Which do you predict is more active K or Na?
Develop a combined activity series • Na > H • K > H • K > Na • Can you put these all together to get an overall activity series?
More experiments • Cr + NaCl NR • Which is more active Na or Cr? • Cr + HCl CrCl2 + H2 • Which is more active Cr or H? • Ni + HCl NiCl2 + H2 • Which is more active Ni or H? • Cr + KCl NR • Which is more active K or Cr?
In summary • K > Na > H • Na > Cr • Cr > H • Ni > H • K > Cr • Can you determine an overall activity series? • Is there any element that you can not place? Why?
Today’s experiment • In today’s experiment you are going to do 6 experiments to determine an activity series. • The formation of a precipitate or the production of bubbles indicates a reaction. • Determine the relative activities of each pair of metals/hydrogen and use these to determine the activity series • You may need to sand some of the metal pieces to get a good surface for reacting • Only metals reacting with acids will produce a gas. Any other gases produced in this lab are a side reaction.
Due today • Experiment 10 – Double Displacement Reactions • If leaving early • Experiment #9 – single replacement • Worksheet #5 – stoichiometry
