03. Finding reactivity Spec Prac analysis

How do you find out the reactivity of a series of metals?

React each metal with the compound of the other metal

How does reacting each metal with other metal compounds find the reactivity of the series?

By recording the speed / volatility of metal reactions with solutions you can find which metals are most or least reactive

From your observations, how can you tell which metals are most reactive?

Most reactive = most reactions

To fully decide on displacement reactions, what else must you do?

Record temperature change = more reactive = higher change, could react with more things like water or acid

What was the order of most reactive for this particular experiment?

Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu
