EXPERIMENT-3
AIM:- 1. To observe the action of Zn, Fe, Cu and Al metals on the following salt
solutions:
o ZnSO4(aq.)
o FeSO4(aq.)
o CuSO4(aq.)
o Al2(SO4)3(aq.)
2. Arrange Zn, Fe, Cu and A1 metals in the decreasing order of reactivity based
on the above result.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
Test tubes, test tube stand, metals-Zn granules, Fe filings, Cu turnings, Al foil and
aqueous solutions of zinc sulphate, ferrous sulphate, copper sulphate and
aluminium sulphate.
PROCEDURE
1. Take four test tubes and label them as ZnSO4, FeSO4, CuSO4 and Al2(SO4)3
2. Pour equal amount of their aqueous solutions into the respective test
tubes.
3. Add a small strip of Al foil to each of the test tubes.
4. Observe the changes and record your observations.
5. Repeat similar procedure using:
o Cu turnings with ZnSO4, FeSO4, CuSO4 and Al2(SO4)3 solutions.
o Fe filings with ZnSO4, FeSO4, CuSO4 and Al2(SO4)3 solutions.
o Zn granules with ZnSO4, FeSO4, CuSO4 and Al2(SO4)3 solutions.
