For each reaction you observed a product, you have already determined what has been oxidized, reduced, oxidizing agent, reducing agent and balanced the reaction by oxidation number (while showing all work).<br> Now you will answer the following questions.<br> <br> 1. From your data, list the metals from the most reactive to the least reactive.<br> <br> <br> 2. Explain how you came up with the order from Question 1.<br> <br> <br> 3. With your [[Activity Series or Strength Chart]] and knowledge of Single Replacement reactions, do any of the reaction can not be justified by your theoretical knowledge (experiment data is not supported by theory)?<br> <br> <br> 4. If yes, what could be possible explanation for a reaction to occur when it is "NOT suppose to". <br> <br> <br> 5. Look at your data table, where there any observations of products that can not be justified from your chemical reactions. If yes, give hypothesis of where the substance that "make-up" that observation "comes from". Explain.<br> <br> <br> 5. Given your knowledge of the reactivity of the metals (therefore their ions), answer the following questions:<br> <br> <br> a. Which metal is most likely to be found in the uncombined (or "free" or elemental) state in nature? Explain why.<br> <br> <br> b. Which metal most likely to be found in its ion form (also called "combined form")?<br> <br> <br> 6. The Statue of Liberty is made of copper (or at least portion of it is). Is this the "best" metal to use and why?<br> <br> <br>
