3. Use your ordering developed in this experiment to predict if the following reactions would occur: a. Aqueous iron(II) with solid copper b. Aqueous iron(II) with solid magnesium c. Aqueous iron(II) with solid zinc d. Aqueous zinc(II) with solid iron e. Aqueous zinc(II) with solid magnesium your answer to question 3, are such series helpful in general. Explain why or why uch a series? (In other words, how might you assign som not. How might you quantify s number that would help you place the metal activity series and the halogen activity serie on the same scale. Hint: Use text or web to research reduction potentials.)

Explanation / Answer

a)

since Fe(II) is much more active, then there will be NO Reaction

since copper remains solid

b)

Since Mg is mcuh more active than Fe+2

then

Fe+2(aq) + Mg(s) --> Mg+2(aq) + Fe(s)

c)

zinc is much more active than fe, so

Fe+2 + Zn(s) = Zn+2 + Fe(s)

e)

as stated in d, there is no reation, iron remains as a solid

f)

Magnesium is very reactive so

Zn+2 + Mg(s) = Mg+2 + Zn(s)
