Question: How can you determine that type of displacement reaction that is occurring? Materials: • 3 test tubes • 3 rubber stoppers • 15 cm of magnesium ribbon • Copper(II) sulfate crystals, fine • Calcium chloride • Sodium carbonate • 30 mL of warm water Safety Precautions: • Wear safety goggles , gloves, and a lab apron • Avoid skin contact with copper (II) sulfate dust and solution • Keep work area clean wipe up any spills and inform your teacher immediately Procedure: • Refer to page 210 and 211 in On Science 10 Observations: Before: • Solid • Blue crystals • Small • Shiny • solid • White • A bit shiny • Large crystals • White • Powdery • Soft After • liquid • The substance formed a bluish-green…show more content…
Test Tube Reactants Products Reaction Type A Copper (II) Sulfate + Magnesium Copper + Magnesium Sulfate Single Displacement B Calcium Chloride + Magnesium Sulfate Magnesium Chloride + Calcium Sulfate Double Displacement C Sodium Carbonate + Magnesium Sulfate Magnesium Carbonate + Sodium Sulfate Double Displacement 3. For Test tube a I had to replace copper with magnesium because on the reactivity chart magnesium is more reactive than copper. For test tube b I had to switch the places of the elements calcium and magnesium since it was a double replacement. For test tube c I had to switch the element sodium and magnesium to form a new compound. 4. • Test tube a : Single displacement • Test tube b: double displacement • Test tube c: double displacement Conclude & Communicate 5. Test Tube A: Copper (II) Sulfate + Magnesium  Copper + Magnesium Sulfate Test Tube B: Calcium Chloride + Magnesium Sulfate  Magnesium Chloride + Calcium Sulfate Test Tube C: Sodium Carbonate + Magnesium Sulfate  Magnesium Carbonate + Sodium
