Lab 16 Oxidation Reduction
Lab 16
Introduction:
I will learn about redox reactions.
Materials and Methods:
I placed ten drops of each substance into different wells. Then I took Magnesium and put it in the first one. I put Zinc into the second one. I placed lead into the third and fourth one, and put iron into the fifth one.
Results:
See Table Below.
Discussion:
I learned about different redox reactions.
Questions:
A. Sodium, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, Lead and Copper. In descending order.
B. Before Copper in descending order.
C. If a reaction takes place then the metal displaces the original metal.
D.
1. 0
2. +2
3. -1
4. 0
5. +2
6. -1
7. and 8. Iron is the reducing agent so it is oxidized and Nickel is the oxidizing agent so it is reduced.

Unit 2 Lab 2 Chemical and Physical Properties
Chemical and Physical Properties
Introduction:
I will figure out different chemical and physical properties of various chemical substances.
Materials and Methods:
I filled four different test tubes with a little bit of Magnesium. The first one I recorded the color and odor. Then I heated it and recorded any changes. I added water to the second one and tried to decipher the solubility. Then I heated it to find out how it dissolved in hot water. Then I tested the water with red and blue litmus paper and recorded my findings. I put a couple of drops of HCl into the third test tube and then stirred it. I added a couple of drops of NaOH to the fourth test tube and then stirred it, recording any and all results.
Results:
See table and questions below.
