Okay The MOST exciting lab we have EVER DONE

As the topic said This lab is SO FUN as most of us were astonished by the end of the class. The lab was sooooo fun. So you might be wondering what kind of lab did we do? IT IS A VIRTUAL LAB OMG. Instead of SEEING REAL RODS going BUBBLES we get to see some AWESOME Javascript animation that is totally easy to identify. Okay done with the random stuff. So what is this lab for? To learn more about single replacement and activity serious.
yea This is the real thing Cu(NO3)2
First we were presented 4 different kinds of solutions Mg(NO3)2, Zn(NO3)2,Cu(NO3)2, AgNO3 as we put the super cool animated rods into the solutions we got the results of Mg having the highest activity since it reacted with all of the solutions.

Then Cu rod was put in to the 4 solutions and only 1 rod changed there for it has less activity than Mg
After that Zn rod was inserted and 2 rod changed therefore Zn have higher activity than Cu but lower than Mg
and that leaves us with the last one Ag which didn't react with anything since it is the lowest of all in the Activity series. This is repeated with 4 other elements and it proves the activity serious.
Yep that is about all we did that class. and for the rest of the class most of us played around with the software and did our worksheet.
this is where we got our worksheet from in case you lost yours
