Experiment 14 Oxidation Reduction Activity Series
Purpose:
The purpose of this lab is to identify the different features that come about by using oxidation reduction and recording the observations, these tests will help determine the specific qualities each solution has.

Materials:
1 Paper towels
1 Well-Plate
1 Tweezers, plastic
Experiment Bag Oxidation-Reduction
Activity Series 1 Copper (II) Sulfate, 1 M - 3 mL in Pipet
1 Iron (III) Chloride, 2 M - 3 mL in Pipet
1 Iron Metal, 2 pc in Bag 2"x 3"
Magnesium Metal (ribbon) - 2 Small Pieces in Bag 2"x 3"
1 Magnesium Sulfate, 2 M - 3 mL in Pipet
1 Lead metal, 4 small pieces in bag 2 x 3”
1 Sodium Sulfate, 1 M - 3 mL in Pipet
1 Zinc Metal - 2 Small Pieces in Bag 2"x 3"
1 Zinc Nitrate, 2 M - 3 mL in Pipet

Procedure
1. Place 10 drops of Sodium sulfate, Na2SO4 into well A1 of the 24-well plate.
2. Place 10 drops of Magnesium sulfate, Mg SO4 into well A2 of the 24-well plate.
3. Place 10 drops of Zinc nitrate, Zn(NO3)2 into well A3 of the 24-well plate.
4. Place 10 drops of Iron (III) chloride, FeCl3 into well A4 of the 24-well plate.
5. Place 10 drops of Copper (II) sulfate, Cu SO4 into well A5 of the 24-well plate.
6. Take the metal solids from your LabPaq; there should be one piece each of magnesium, zinc, and iron plus two pieces of lead.
Note: Magnesium and lead oxidize very easily and an almost invisible oxidation layer may coat the metal. To insure good reactions you should scrape the surface of those metals with a pocket knife or remove the oxidation layer by rubbing the metal pieces with steel wool or something similar. Evidence that a reaction is taking place is the formation of bubbles or a coating on the metal immersed into the solution. The formation of bubbles will take place very quickly, but it may take a few minutes to see any coating on the metal.
7. Use your tweezers to pick up and carefully insert the piece of magnesium into the sodium sulfate. Record your observations.
8. Carefully insert a piece of zinc into the magnesium sulfate. Record

    Oxidation

    Purpose: To determine relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of a series of metals and ions. Oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously side by side. A reduction reaction occurs only if an oxidation reaction occurs and vise-versa. Electrons are given in oxidation while in reduction electrons are gained. Oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has a large tendency to gain electrons, while reducing agent is a chemical substance causes other substances to be reduced and itself oxidized. Procedure: For this lab was used metals and substances provided in the lab oxidation-reduction pack, and some extra materials. Using the well-plate and the correct amount of drops and the right metal on the right well, to see the reaction with each different substance. Observations: This experiment required some time and patience to analyze the results. For each well required a different substance and a different metal to be inserted in the well. Different metals react faster or slower depending the substance they are added. Na2SO3 with magnesium  bubbles appeared around the magnesium piece and we could predict a reaction. MgSO4 with zinc  No reaction observed Zn (NO3)2 with lead and aluminum  No reaction observed FeCl3 with lead and aluminum  reacts with foil, the piece dissolves in the solution and the lead piece seems to be oxidizing. CuSO4 with iron  the screw seems to be oxidized quickly; it changes the color of it to a pinkish tone.…

    With the 96 well plate I then began the combination of the chemicals. For each chemical combination I placed 2 drops of one chemical and 2 drops of the next chemical, unless it said otherwise. After each combination I looked at the reactions with a white and black piece of paper underneath the well plate to determine what was happening. Using my chart I wrote down my observations that occurred.…
