Chemistry Lab 6 Report

Experiment: # 6

Title: Electrochemistry

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to understand how redox

reactions occur and to see how the metal reactivity series can predict whether a reaction will occur

(1) Electrochemistry and REDOX reaction (2) Voltaic cells reaction process

Procedure:

(1) Electrochemistry #1

• Prepare a light bulb that lights up when there is electricity
• Contact a metal to the metal bars attached to the bulb and see if light appears in the bulb
• Test metal bars attached to the bulb into a beaker with water and see if light appears in the

bulb

• Test metal bars attached to the bulb into a beaker with water with dissolved

sugar and see if light appears in the bulb

• Test metal bars attached to the bulb into a beaker with water with dissolved

salt and see if it light appears in the bulb

• Test metal bars attached to the bulb into a beaker with soda(coke) and see if lights appears in

the bulb (2) Electrochemistry #2

• Prepare a test tube with copper sulfate.
• Dip a nail into the tube, dip back into the tube after observing the first observation
• Then observe the nail and record reaction

(3) Electrochemistry #3

• Prepare a test tube with HCl.
• Dip a magnesium ribbon into a tube
• Then observe and record reaction

(4) Electrochemistry #4
