活动性序列验证

通过置换反应测试金属活泼性

Electrochemistry Beginner (Middle School) 30 分钟 ~$12.00

目标

通过测试金属能否从溶液中置换其他金属来验证电化学活动性序列。

背景

A more reactive (more easily oxidized) metal will displace a less reactive metal from its salt solution. By testing multiple combinations, students can experimentally construct the activity series: Zn > Fe > Cu > Ag.

安全警告

  • Silver nitrate stains skin permanently
  • Copper sulfate is toxic
  • Wear gloves when handling solutions

材料

  • Zinc strips (3 pieces)
    Small pieces
  • Iron nails (3)
    Clean steel nails
  • Copper strips (3 pieces)

设备

Test tubes and rack Sandpaper Forceps Timer

步骤

1

Sand all metal pieces until shiny to remove oxide layers.

3 分钟
2

Place 10 mL of each metal salt solution into labeled test tubes. You need: CuSO₄, FeSO₄, ZnSO₄, and AgNO₃.

3 分钟 Wear gloves
3

Test zinc in CuSO₄ solution. Observe for 5 minutes and record changes on the metal and in the solution.

5 分钟
4

Test iron in CuSO₄ solution. Observe and record.

5 分钟
5

Test copper in ZnSO₄ solution. Observe and record (expect no reaction).

5 分钟
6

Test copper in AgNO₃ solution. Observe silver crystals forming on the copper.

5 分钟
7

Compile results into a reactivity table and rank the metals from most to least reactive.

4 分钟

预期结果

Zinc displaces copper (blue solution fades, copper deposits on zinc). Iron displaces copper (blue fades slower). Copper does not displace zinc. Copper displaces silver (silver crystals grow). Order: Zn > Fe > Cu > Ag.

清理

Collect silver waste separately in heavy metal container. Dispose of copper waste properly. Rinse metal pieces and test tubes.
