Question

Oxidation-Reduction Reactions A. Zn-Cu^+2 Reaction 1. Clean a Zn strip with sandpaper. 2. Place the strip in 100 mL beaker. 3. Measure 25 mL of 0.1M CuSO_4 and transfer it to the Zn beaker. 4. After 5 minutes, record your observations. B. Pb-Cu^+2 Reaction 5. Clean a Pb strip with sandpaper. 6. Place the strip in 100 mL beaker. 7. Measure 25 mL of 0.1M CuSO_4 and transfer it to the Pb beaker. 8. After 5 minutes, record your observations. c. Zn-Pb^+2 Reaction 9. Clean a Zn strip with sandpaper. 10. Place the strip in 100 mL beaker. 11. Measure 25 mL of 0.1M Pb(NO_3)_2 and transfer it to the Zn beaker. 12. After 5 minutes, record your observations.

Explanation / Answer

Zn-Cu2+

The Zn strip turned black

Pb-Cu2+

The strip look rusted brown colour

Zn-Pb2+

the strip has black line in middle
