Purpose: In this lab you will observe reactions that demonstrate the five different types of reactions you have learned about. You will determine the products of the reactions and describe properties of the products.
Prelab: Before you perform any of the experiments, you must determine the products of each reaction. Write the balanced equation for each reaction and identify the reaction type.
Reaction 1: Zinc reacts with a solution of Copper (II) sulfate.
