  • The Reactivity of Metals

    1339 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Reactivity of Metals Planning: Aim: to put these 5 metals in the order of reactivity. * Iron * Copper * Magnesium * Lead * Zinc Scientific Information: A displacement reaction is where a more reactive element reacts with a compound and pushes out a less reactive element. E.g. magnesium will react with iron sulphate to push the iron out and form magnesium sulphate. I have carried out preliminary experiments and they have shown me that the reactivity of metals and elements

  • Relative Reactivity of Anilines

    Relative Reactivity of Anilines Abstract: Various Anilines were tested with Br2/HBr solution, the products were crystallized and melting points attained to verify relative reactivity. My assignment, 2,4-Dibromoanisol, was prepared in a yield of 52% with a melting point of 55-58 C . Reaction: Mechanism: Procedure: Anisole (0.35mL, 0.0378mol) was obtained and placed in a pre-weighed 25 mL round bottom flask, along with 2.5 mL of glacial acetic acid and a magnetic stir bar. Then the

  • Reactivity And Conductivity

    1454 Words  | 3 Pages

    Introduction The relationship between reactivity and selectivity is defined by the reactivity and selectivity principle (Ketcha, 138). This principle states that “the less reactive the reagent, the more selective it is, and vicer versa” (Ketcha, 138). There are three kinds of selectivity: regioselectivity, stereoselective, and chemoselectivity. A regioselectivity reaction is a reaction that yields only one product, even though there were a possibility that two or more structural isomers could have

  • Investigating the Thermal Decomposition Of Metal Carbonates

    made. The formula for this is: Copper Carbonate = Copper Oxide + Carbon Dioxide (CuCO3 = CuO + CO2) The reactivity series determines how fast this reaction occurs. The reactivity series is the order of metals in the periodic table. The most reactive metals are placed at the top of the reactivity series. The least reactive materials are placed at the bottom of the reactivity series. From preliminary work that I have already done I know that Potassium and sodium are the most reactive metals

  • Use of Enthalpy Changes of Metal Reactions

    982 Words  | 2 Pages

    The problem that I will investigate is how to use enthalpy changes of metal reactions to experimentally test the reactivity series of common metals. Therefore the area that I am looking at is reactions involving metals and the heat energy that is evolved when these take place. In brief the reactivity series of metals is a list in which metals are ranked according to their reactivity, from the most reactive metals (such as Pottassium) at the top to Gold the least reactive metal at the bottom.

  • Which two metals combined together give the higher voltage when reacting with acid

    1196 Words  | 3 Pages

    prediction on what metals will be the ones that give the highest voltage when combined together you need to find out if the position in which the metals are at in the reactivity series would make a difference, and if it does, how? You also need to find out how the metals react with acids. We know that the higher the metal is in the reactivity series, the stronger it will react with an acid. Theory Batteries have chemicals inside to store energy. When two different metals that are connected by a wire

  • Investigation of the Factor that Affects the Change in Temperature Between Iron and Copper Sulphate

    react with the iron. My scientific reason for my prediction; the greater the mass of iron filings; the greater the rise in temperature, is that a displacement reaction will take place between the iron and the copper. Iron is higher in the reactivity series of metals than copper, and a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound. The list (left) shows that iron is more reactive than copper. The iron replaces the copper and becomes iron sulphate: Iron + Copper

  • Benzene

    516 Words  | 2 Pages

    Benzene Benzene, C(6)H(6), is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid that is insoluble in water.Its boiling point is 80 degrees C (176 degrees F). In the past benzene was obtained from the distillation of coal in the absence of air. Today most benzene is made syntheticallyfrom petroleum products. The benzene is a closed ring of six atoms connected by bonds that resonatebetween single and double bonds; each carbon is also bound to a single atom. Benzene isinsoluble in water but mixes in all proportions

  • Metal Ore

    1693 Words  | 4 Pages

    metals are oxides and sulphides. Ores are rocks from which we extract metals. Metals are found naturally in rocks called ores. They are in compounds, chemically bonded to other elements. However, the unreactive metals are at the bottom of the reactivity series can be found as the elements themselves. We say they are found native. We can find copper, silver, gold and platinum as the metals in nature. What factors do companies consider when deciding whether to extract a metal from its ore?

  • Cardiovascular Reactivity Theory Personal Statement

    523 Words  | 2 Pages

    fascinated by cardiovascular reactivity; the idea that physiological reactions of differing magnitudes to acute stress of can lead to vastly different health and behavioural outcomes particularly intrigued me. It was my psychology and psychophysiology modules which first aroused this interest and completing cardiovascular reactivity-based essays further enhanced this passion. Alongside developing my understanding of the theoretical foundations that underpin cardiovascular reactivity, I also started to focus

    1602 Words  | 4 Pages

    Practical – Trends in the Periodic Table Reactivity of the group 7 elements - the halogens Ref: Saunders N. 2000, Creative Chemistry You have seen that the Group 1 alkali metal elements increase in reactivity as you go down the group. Sodium is less reactive than potassium, which is less reactive than rubidium (which you weren’t allowed to observe directly!) Today, you will use displacement reactions to work out the order of reactivity of the Group 17 halogen elements using Chlorine, Bromine

  • Test Anxiety and Emotional Reactivity on Test Outcome

    1200 Words  | 3 Pages

    emotions. Test anxiety and emotional reactivity to test outcome are one of most frequent and the strongest stressors for students during their college days (Pekrun, Goetz, Titz, & Perry, 2002). Various studies have shown that test anxiety correlate negatively with cumulative grades-point average (Diener, Schwarz, & Nickerson, 2011), academic performance (& Elliot, Pekrun, & Maier, 2009) and students’ health (Conley & Lehman, 2012). Test anxiety and emotional reactivity of test outcome can be influenced

    Regarding, the copper and sodium chloride, no visible change occurred after 5 minutes had passed. The copper metal remained at the bottom of the test tube undeterred by the NaCl. There may not have been a reaction because copper is lower on the reactivity series than sodium. Metathesis: Precipitation (Nonredox) The reaction between and KCl is a double replacement reaction because the cations Cu2+ and K+ switched places and formed two new compounds, copper (II) chloride and potassium nitrate. However

  • Preparation Of Metal Alkoxide Preparation

    792 Words  | 2 Pages

    The enhanced reactivity of metal alkoxides towards hydrolysis, or nucleophilic attack requires precautions and adaptations when used as precursors for sol–gel processing. The higher reactivity towards nucleophilic attack is caused by the lower electronegativity and resulting higher Lewis acidity of the metals and therefore depends on the type of metal
