1. The reaction between magnesium and oxygen is a chemical change that produces magnesium oxide. Magnesium burns in air to form magnesium oxide, which changes red litmus paper to blue, indicating it is basic.
2. Iron (III) chloride acts as a catalyst in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. As a catalyst, it is not consumed in the reaction and does not change the amount of oxygen gas produced.
3. The relative reactivities of gold, hydrogen, zinc, and tin were determined from single replacement reactions. The order of increasing reactivity is: gold < hydrogen < tin < zinc.

Experiment No. 2 Classes of Chemical Reactions
Name: Johannah Nicole N. Sarria Section: RAD1-2 Class No. ____ Group No. 6 Date Submitted: February 4, 2021
1. What type of product was formed in A.1.a based on the color of the litmus paper?
Magnesium is a silvery white metal that burns in air and utilizes atmospheric oxygen from air to form magnesium oxide.
2Mg(s) + O2 2MgO(s)
Magnesium oxide changes the colour of red litmus paper to blue. This reaction shows that magnesium oxide is basic in nature. The formation of magnesium oxide is a direct combination reaction of two elements: magnesium and oxygen. Magnesium oxide is entirely different from the reactants magnesium and oxygen. So, this reaction is a chemical change.
2. What is the role of FeCl3 in the decomposition of H2O2?
FeCl3 is used as a catalyst in the decomposition of H2O2 because it is not consumed within the reaction itself. The number of element gas collected couldn't modification if the number of FeCl3 was modified. It’d not modification the number of O2 gas collected as a result of FeCl3 is simply the catalyst; we might would like a lot of H2O2 to extend the number of FeCl3 collected.
3. The following single replacement reactions are performed with their results below. Determine the relative activities of the two elements involved in each reaction. Then arrange the following elements: gold, hydrogen, zinc, and tin in order of increasing activity.
Sn + HCl 🡪 H2 + SnCl2 Au + Sn(NO3)2 🡪 No reaction Au + HCl 🡪 No reaction Zn + Sn(NO3)2 🡪 Zn(NO3)2 + Sn
Answer: Au < H < Sn < Zn
4. Use your answers in the previous question to write the products for the reactions below. Write “No Reaction” when applicable.
Sn + Zn(NO3)2 🡪 No Reaction Zn + Au(NO3)3 🡪 Zn(No3)2 + Au 5. Which of the product in Part D is the precipitate? Write their formula below:
Formula: Ag+ + Cl- AgCl
When a solution of silver nitrate is added to a solution of sodium chloride, the silver ions combine with the chloride ions to form a precipitate of silver chloride. The sodium and the nitrate ions are non-participating spectator ions.
6. How will you identify if a chemical reaction is a redox reaction?
A redox reaction occurs when oxidation and reduction take place in the same reaction. This happens as one species is acting as a reducing agent and is oxidised by another species that is acting as an oxidising agent (and is reduced).
An example would be the following reaction:
CuO + Zn -> Cu + ZnO
The ionic equation for the reaction is as follows:
Cu2+ + Zn -> Cu + Zn2+
From these two equations we can see that copper is acting as an oxidising agent as it takes electrons from the zinc, causing Cu2+ to be reduced to Cu and the zinc to be oxidised to Zn2+. The copper is also being reduced because it loses oxygen to the zinc which is oxidised to zinc oxide. This redox reaction occurs as copper is a more powerful oxidising agent than zinc as the reduction of copper is more feasible. This is means that copper has a higher standard reduction potential, so it has a greater tendency to gain electrons and be reduced. Likewise, zinc is a more powerful reducing agent so it has a greater tendency to lose electrons as the oxidation of zinc to Zn2+ is more feasible than the oxidation of Cu to Cu2+.
