activity to show redox reaction
Answers
Answer:
Redox Reaction Example
In a redox reaction, the reactant that loses electrons (is oxidized) causes a reduction and is called a reducing agent.
In the example above, zinc metal is the reducing agent; it loses two electrons (is oxidized) and becomes Zn2+ ion.
ACTIVITY
To determine Redox Reactions
GOALS
• To explore the relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of different metals.
• To gain practice working with electrochemical cells.
• To use experimentally determined cell potentials to rank reduction half-reactions.
MATERIAL REQUIRED
Beakers, 4 Glasses, Copper II Sulphate, Sodium Chloride, 4 Different Metals like Zn, Al, Fe , Hg , Spatula.
PROCEDURE
- Get a 250 ml beaker and filled it with CuSO4 Solution.
- Add some NaCl using Spatula, it increases the rate of reaction.
- Stir beaker for about 2 - 5 minutes and then left it for 2 minutes.
- Get 4 Glasses and filled them with prepared Solution.
- Dip these Metals Samples in those 4 glases one by one.
- After 30 minutes you will see glass contaning Zn will start Redox Reaction.
CONCLUSION
In a redox reaction, the reactant that loses electrons (is oxidized) causes a reduction and is called a reducing agent.
In the example above, zinc metal is the reducing agent; it loses two electrons (is oxidized) and becomes Zn2+ ion.
