Which metals from Table 8.1 ( copper, zinc, lead, magnesium) b) For the metals that reacted with water and/or aqueous hydrochloric acid, write out an appropriate redox reaction equation and assign oxidation numbers to ALL elements (HINT: Use and in your laboratory manual in order to guide you)

Question 1 a) Which metals from Table 8.1 ( copper, zinc, lead, magnesium)  b) For the metals that reacted with water and/or aqueous hydrochloric acid, write out an appropriate redox reaction equation and assign oxidation numbers to ALL elements (HINT: Use and in your laboratory manual in order to guide you).   c) From your equations above, identify the species that are the oxidising agents and reducing agents in each redox reaction. Provide an explanation for your choices. (HINT: Think about the oxidation numbers of each element and how they change).  Question 2 a) Why do we not test each metal against a solution containing that metal? What would you observe if you did?  b) Using your results complete the following redox equations. If no reaction occurred, then write ‘no reaction’ like in of your laboratory manual.   e) Complete the Metal Activity Series below by considering the numbers you wrote in the final column of (ignore Metal ‘Pg’ for the moment).  Question 3 a) Complete the Halide Activity Series below by considering the numbers you wrote in the final column of . (HINT: Refer to page 7 of your Manual for more information).   b) From the Activity Series above, complete the following sentence:  ″The ability to reduce elements in Group 17 _____________ as you go down the group.″   c) Based upon yours answers in Question 3a) and the periodic trend described in Question 3b), write out the full Halogen Activity Series below. Be sure to include Fluorine (F) and Astatine (At) in your answer.    TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS YOU   USE THE ATTACHED FILE
