Reactions

By: Roya Barghian

Science Lab

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is, to determine the double/single displacement reactions and how they relate to the activity series/solubility chart.

Hypothesis:

Observations:

Before

After

Copper (II) Sulphate

Color : Blue

Transparent

State: Liquid

Copper

Floats

Magnesium

Change colors and also started to rust.

Bubbles we forming and eventually was formed.

Zinc Nitrate

Color: Clear

Transparent

State: Liquid

Floats

No reactions was happening

Floats

No reaction was being made.

There was a color change being made.

Magnesium Nitrate

Color: Clear

Transparent

State: Liquid

Floats

No reactions was happening

Floats

No reaction was being made.

Bubbles were being formed underneath the liquid.

Iron (II) Nitrate

Color: yellow ish and some parts clear.

Transparent

State: liquid

The element sunk.

This also had no reaction.

Floats

No reaction was being made.

Rust was being formed and it started to create crust.

Zinc

Bubbles were being formed under the strip. Precipitate turns cloudy, and turned black.

Sinks

No reaction was being made.

No reaction was being made.

The element sunk.

No reaction was being made.

The element sunk.

Iron

Sinks

Changes color and turns white.

No reaction was being made.

The element sunk.

No reaction was being made.

The element sunk.

No reaction was being made.

The element sunk

Before

After

Nickel (II) Nitrate

Analysis: Answer the following question:

What evidence suggests that chemical reactions occurred?

Firstly, chemical reaction means, a process in which one or more substances are changed into another substance.

In this experiment, I got to identify and also see the chemical reactions for...
