Tuesday, November 3rd

• Please take out your notebook and yesterday’s lab activity• Continue working on your analysis questions• Today’s agenda• Finish lab analysis• Brief notes on single replacement

reactions• Single replacement reaction practice

Activity Series

• We can list metals (+ hydrogen) in order of how likely they are to become cations• In other words, how likely they are to give up

their electrons

Activity Series

• We can list metals (+ hydrogen) in order of how likely they are to become cations• This list is called an activity series

Activity Series

• We can list metals (+ hydrogen) in order of how likely they are to become cations• This list is called an activity series• You can use an activity series to predict

whether or not a single replacement reaction will occur

Activity Series

• We can list metals (+ hydrogen) in order of how likely they are to become cations• This list is called an activity series• You can use an activity series to predict

whether or not a single replacement reaction will occur• If a solid metal is HIGHER on the activity

series than the metal that is part of the ionic compound, the reaction WILL occur.

You WILL have access to this information on a test and quiz – you don’t have to memorize it!

Activity Series Practice

• Use your activity series to predict whether the following reactions will occur. For each reaction that WILL occur, write a balanced chemical equation.• Copper and lithium nitrate• Lithium and copper (II) nitrate• Gold and lead (IV) chlorate• Aluminum and zinc chloride

Rest of period

• On the back of the Switcharoo activity, you will find the single replacement reaction practice.• Complete this assignment• When you are done, you can work on quiz

corrections (due Friday)
