Displacement Reactions of Metals

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Chemistry stars experiment with metals to observe reactivity with salt solutions. They test magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper by immersing them into different solutions and observing for changes. A separate set of data tables is provided, but learners must copy the table into a lab journal. Assign this lab activity when reviewing the properties of metals in your chemistry class.
