    This document describes the results of a displacement reaction experiment involving several metals and solutions. Key findings include: 1) Metals like lead, zinc, and magnesium reacted with copper sulfate to form a black substance, while iron and silver nitrate only reacted with some metals. 2) The metals could be ordered from least reactive to most reactive as: iron, magnesium, zinc, lead, copper, silver. 3) The experiment could be improved by ensuring the iron sample was clean before testing.

    Displacement Reactions

    Note: Use ceramic well tiles 1. Place pieces of the metal you are testing in separate wells 2. Add a few drops of each solution to separate wells containing the metal samples 3. Observe for several minutes and record results 4. Analyse your results to order the metals from, least to most reactive Results: Metals/Soluti ons Lead Iron Zinc Magnesium Reacts quickly and starts to fizz and the particles separate. Produces gas and the black substance. Reacts quickly. A black substance is formed and it goes quickly form black to brown. No reaction Black Substance is formed Black Substance is formed Black Substance is formed

    Copper sulfate

    Black substance forms over the metal Black substance is produced. Reacts quickly No reaction No reaction No reaction

    Rusted

    Magnesium sulfate Iron Sulfate Zinc Sulfate Lead nitrate

    Note: After a while the black substance becomes fury. Fe Mg Cu Pb Zn Fe2+ No Yes No No Yes Cu2+ Yes Yes No Yes Yes Pb2+ No Yes No No Yes Mg2+ No No No No No Ag+ Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

    A reactive metal will displace the ions of a less reactive metal Order of these (least reactive to more reactive) Fe, Mg, Zn, Pb, Cu, Ag

    Improving the experiment make sure that the iron is clean
