Experiment 2: Redox Reactions: Activity Series of Metals and Nonmetals

This document describes several redox reactions involving metals like zinc, copper, and iron with nonmetals like bromine, iodine, and chlorine. It establishes an activity series for metals and nonmetals based on these reactions. Zinc is the strongest reducing agent followed by iron then copper. Chlorine is the strongest oxidizing agent followed by bromine then iodine. Experimental results are also presented on the reaction of potassium manganate(VII) and sodium sulfite in different media.
