Predict 1. In this demonstration, a solid metal will be placed into an aqueous metal ion solution. Describe at least three different signs that a chemical reaction took place between the metal and the metallic solution.

2. In the table below, predict if a reaction (“R”) will occur or not occur (“NR”). If you predict a reaction will take place, predict the products for that reaction.

Reactants Prediction: Reaction/No Reaction Predicted Products

Fe + CuSO4 Fe + AgNO3

Cu + FeSO4 Cu + AgNO3

3. Explain your reasons for the predicted products. Use prior knowledge of the periodic table of elements to help you develop your explanations.
