CBSE Class 10 Science Lab Manual – Reactivity Series<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Aim<\/strong><\/span>
\nTo observe the action of Zn, Fe, Cu and Al metals on the following salt solutions:
\nZnSO4<\/sub> (aq), FeSO4<\/sub> (aq), CuSO4<\/sub> (aq), Al2<\/sub>(SO4<\/sub>)3<\/sub> (aq)
\nTo arrange Zn, Fe, Cu and Al metals in the decreasing order of reactivity based on the above results.<\/p>\n

Materials Required<\/strong><\/span>
\nAluminium foil, copper turnings, zinc granules, iron filings, ferrous sulphate solution, copper sulphate solution, zinc sulphate solution, aluminium sulphate solution, test tubes, test tube stand and four beakers of 50 ml.<\/p>\n

Theory<\/strong><\/span>
\nDifferent metals have different reactivities towards chemical reagents. Some metals are more reactive than others. The metals, which can lose electron more readily to form positive ions are more reactive.
\nAccording to the reactivity series (or activity series) of metals, a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its aqueous salt solution. These reactions are called displacement reactions.<\/strong>
\nDisplacement reactions can be used to find out the relative reactivities of metals.
\nExample<\/strong> If a piece of zinc metal is dipped in a solution of copper sulphate, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate. The blue colour of copper sulphate solution will gradually fade and finally colourless solution of zinc sulphate will be obtained.
\n\"CBSE
\nIt means that zinc has displaced copper from copper sulphate solution, i.e. zinc is more reactive than copper.<\/p>\n
