Redox Lab (sheet)

In this lab, we will be testing three metals to determine which is the best reducing agent.

1. Print out the following lab sheet: Redox Lab

2. Read the purpose, background, and procedure. Then look at the pictures below to fill in the results in the data table.

This is what the metals looked like before they were placed in the solution:

Copper(II) Magnesium Zinc

Chloride Sulfate Sulfate

This is what the metals looked then when mixed with the solutions:

Copper(II) Magnesium Zinc

Chloride Sulfate Sulfate

3. You should have observed 3 reactions and 3 no reactions. Now complete the conclusion.
