1. A solution of Copper (II) Chloride is electrolyzed. Observe the two electrodes. Procedure: Take the solution of Copper (II) chloride and place the wire with cork on the end into the liquid. Hold a battery to the other end. Equation: CuCl (aq) Cu (s) + Cl (g) Before: Clear, blue liquid After: Orange-brown metal on one electrode, bubbles forming on the other Type: Decomposition Reaction Oxidized: Cu in CuCl Reduced: Cl in CuCl

5. Magnesium metal is added to hydrochloric acid. Procedure: Sand a piece of magnesium metal. Add 2 cm of hydrochloric acid and the magnesium metal in a test tube. Use finger to close up the top of the test tube. Light up a wooden splint. Let finger go and quickly place the burning splint into the test tube without touching the liquid. Equation: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) MgCl (aq) + H (g) Before: Silver solid, clear solution After: Bubbles in clear solution Type: Single Replacement Oxidized: Mg Reduced: H in HCl
