    This document outlines an experiment to observe and compare the reactivity of several metals with water, acids, and oxygen. Students will place pieces of metals like magnesium, zinc, copper, and iron into hydrochloric acid or water in test tubes to observe the reactions. They will also hold metals in a flame to observe reactions with oxygen. The purpose is for students to write word equations for the reactions and then place the metals in order of reactivity based on the observations. Safety precautions are provided like using tongs and pouring reaction mixtures through a sieve.

    METAL REACTIVITY 1

    Aim You are going to (1) observe how some metals react with water, acids and oxygen, (2) write
    word equations for reactions and then (3) you will then place them in order of reactivity.

    Safety • Sodium, potassium, magnesium and • Hold metals with tongs when
    calcium are flammable. heating them.

    • Hydrochloric acid is an irritant. • Do not put metals down the sink.


    Reactions mixtures should be
    • Only carry out the reactions shown poured through the sieve into the
    in the table (those in grey are container to prevent this.
    teacher demos)

    Method Reaction with acid (metal + acid → salt + hydrogen)


    Place a small piece of the metal in a test tube containing about 3 cm depth of hydrochloric acid.
    Reaction with water (metal + water → metal hydroxide + hydrogen)
    Place a small piece of the metals shown in the table in a test tube containing about 3 cm depth
    of water. (your teacher will demonstrate sodium and potassium)
    Reaction with oxygen (metal + oxygen → metal oxide)
    Hold a piece of the metal (use iron wool for iron) using tongs and hold in the flame of a Bunsen
    burner on a mat.
