Unit 8


Purpose: ​The purpose of this lab is to observe and differentiate between chemical


reactions and to learn how to write balanced chemical equations for them.


Procedure:


Experiment 1:


1. Make sure you put on your gloves and goggles before you start.


2. First, take a test tube, the silver nitrate, the copper pieces, and the plastic


tweezers and set them aside.


3. Observe and record the initial appearance of the silver nitrate and the copper.


4. Then, using the plastic tweezers, add two pieces of copper into the test tube.


5. Next, add all the silver nitrate into the test tube and throw out the empty bottle.


6. Observe and record the reaction for up to a minute and then describe the


appearance of all solid, liquid, and gas in the test tube.


7. Let the reactions go on for another 30 minutes, then observe and record the


appearance of the all the solid, liquid, and gas.


8. Write the balanced chemical equation for the redox reaction on a sheet of paper,


including the oxidation numbers and total charge. Take a photo and upload it.


9. Figure out which one of the elements has been reduced and which one is the


spectator ion. Record your observations.

10. Figure out which element was the oxidizing agent and which was the reducing


agent in the experiment. Record your observations.


11. Clean up the materials used properly.


Experiment 2:


1. First, take the 24 well plate and place it on top of a paper with labels for the well


plate. Label wells A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.


2. Next, put a piece of copper in both well plate A1 and well plate A2.


3. Then, take the pipet with the lead (II) nitrate and cut off the tip of the pipette. Add


15 drops of the lead (II) nitrate to well A1.


4. Observe and record the chemical reaction in well A1 after a minute.


5. Let the reaction in well A1 continue for 30 more minutes.


6. Meanwhile, cut off the tip of the pipette containing the zinc nitrate. Add 15 drops


of zinc nitrate to well A2.


7. Observe and record the chemical reaction in well A2 after a minute.


8. Take the plastic tweezers to grab two pieces of lead and place it on a piece of


paper towel.


9. Then, take a nail filer and scrape the top of the lead to take off the rust.


10. Put the two pieces of lead, one in each, wells B1 and B2.

Observation & Data:


Data Table 1: Redox Reaction of Copper and Silver Nitrate


Initial


Observations


before Beginning


The copper pieces are a bronzish color while the silver nitrate is


clear.


Observations


First, the copper turned white with bubbles and then black. Also,


it kind of fluffed up (like a pill when it dissolves). The liquid is


clear.


Observations


after 30 min


The pieces combined and turned crystallized. It turned a


combination of white, brown, and black in color. The liquid also


turned into a slight light blue green color.

Questions:


Exercise 1:


1. Define oxidation, reduction, and oxidation number. Describe how oxidation and


reduction affect the oxidation number of an element.


○ Oxidation is the process of being oxidized. Reduction is when a chemical,


during a reaction, gains electrons. The oxidation number is the number of


electrons that is either gained or lost by the element. The oxidation and


reduction affect the oxidation number of an element is that when an


9


Nisaa Sarwar


Unit 8


element is oxidized or reduced, the reduction number will either increase


or decrease.


2. Define oxidizing agent, reducing agent, and spectator ion.


○ An oxidizing agent gains electrons and then reduces in the chemical


reaction that is going on. The reducing agent is when oxidation occurs


when an element loses electrons during a reaction. A spectator ion is both


a reactant and a product in a chemical reaction.


3. In the reaction of copper and silver nitrate, a new substance appeared in the test


tube. Describe the physical appearance of the substance and identify its


chemical formula.


○ The new substance that appeared in the test tube during the reaction of


copper and silver nitrate was a silverish metallic looking substance. The


chemical formula for the substance would be Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 +


2 Ag. (This is if we assume the substance is silver or Ag.)


4. Given an activity series in which the most active metals are at the top of the list


and the least active metals are at the bottom of the list, would copper be listed


above silver or would silver be listed above copper? Support your answer with


data from Data Table 1.


○ Copper would be listed above silver. The copper reacted more than the


silver during the experiment. That is why during the experiment the copper


10


Nisaa Sarwar


Unit 8


was the element that was oxidized was also the oxidizing agent, whereas,


the silver was the element that was reduced and was the reducing agent.


5. Solid copper sulfide and silver nitrate react to form copper (II) nitrate and solid


silver sulfide. Write a balanced chemical equation that describes the reaction.


Identify the oxidation number of each element in the reaction. (You do not need


to include the total contribution of charge.) Is this reaction a redox reaction or a


non-redox reaction? Explain your answer.


○ The chemical equation that describes the reaction is: CuS (s) + 2AgNO3


(aq) --> 2Ag2S (s) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq). The oxidation number of each


element, in order, are: (+2 -2), (+1 +5 -2), (+1 -2), and (+2 +5 -2). This is a


non-redox reaction.


Exercise 2:


1. List each of the metals tested in Exercise 2. Indicate the oxidation number when


each element is pure and the oxidation number when each element is in a


compound.


○ Metals: Cu, Pb, and Zn. Oxidation # - Pure: 0, 0, and 0. Oxidation # -


Compound: +2, +2, and +2.

2. Which of the metals in Exercise 2 was the strongest oxidizing agent? Was there


an instance when this metal also acted as a reducing agent? Explain your


answer using data from Data Table 3.


○ The metal that was the strongest oxidizing agent was copper. I don't think


copper is the reducing agent because it is more so the oxidizing agent


during the reactions.


3. Which of the metals in Exercise 2 was the strongest reducing agent? Was there


an instance when this metal also acted as an oxidizing agent? Explain your


answer using data from Data Table 3.


○ The strongest reducing agent was zinc. There weren't any instances when


the metal also acted as an oxidizing agent. The oxidization was done


more by the copper.


4. How does ease of oxidation correlate with activity? Do highly active metals tend


to donate electrons or accept electrons from other metals?


○ The ease of oxidation correlates with the activity because the more active,


the easier it is to oxidize. The highly active metals tend to donate electrons


to other metals.


5. Create an activity series for copper, lead, and zinc. Place the most active metal


at the top of the list.


12


Nisaa Sarwar


Unit 8


○ The most active metal at the top of the list would be Zn, the second would


be Pb, and the third Cu.


Conclusion: ​Overall, the experiment showed the difference in chemical reactions


depending on the activity level of the metal being used. Using elements like silver


nitrate, copper, zinc, lead, and more, one can see that the reaction and the reaction


time differs. On one hand, there wasn’t much of a difference when the copper reacted


with the lead (II) nitrate vs. when it reacted with zinc nitrate. Both times there was no


change. Whereas, when the lead reacted with the copper (II) sulfate vs. when it reacted


with the zinc nitrate, there was a difference. The lead reacted more with the copper (II)


sulfate then it did with the zinc nitrate. Like so, it was quite interesting to see the


difference in the reactions depending on which combination of elements and chemicals


are used.
