LAB WORKSHEET -3
Different Types of Chemical Reactions
Displacement Reaction
Experiment-1(c) Date:………
Objectives:
To study the Displacement reaction of iron in copper sulphate.

Requirements:
Iron nails, thread, test tubes, copper sulphate, distilled water, spatula, TT stand, sand paper,etc.

Points to remember:
1.Colour of pure iron is greyish
2.Colour of pure copper is brownish.
3.Aqueous solution of copper sulphate is blue due to the presence of Cu2+ ions and ferrous
sulphate is light green due to the presence of Fe2+ ions.
4.Fe is more reactive than Cu. Due to their difference in reactivity, copper gets deposited on
iron when iron is kept in a solution of copper sulphate and metallic iron dissolves in water to
form iron sulphate.
Due to the above mentioned reactions, the colour of the solution gradually changes from
blue to light green.
Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s).
This is an example of a single displacement reaction. (Fe2+ ions displace Cu2+ ions).

Procedure:
1.Take 10 ml each of copper sulphate solution in two test tubes and keep on a TT
stand.
2.Take two iron nails and clean them using a sand paper to remove any rust.
3.Put one iron nail in one of the test tubes.
4.After 15 minutes, take out the iron nail keep it on a filter paper next to the clean
iron nail and compare them.
5.Compare also the solutions in both the test tubes.
6.Record your observation in the following table.
Nature of the- Observation Inference
Silvery grey in Metals are lustrous.
Iron nail before
colour and
the experiment
lustrous
Iron nail after the Brown deposit Copper is deposited on the nail due the displacement
experiment on the nail reaction that takes place between Fe & Cu.
Solution before Light blue and Copper sulphate solution is peacock blue in colour
the experiment transparent
Solution after the Light green and Due to the chemical reaction, Fe displaces Cu
experiment dirty fromCuSO4 and FeSO4 is formed in the solution.
Dirtiness is due to the rusting of iron.

Conclusions:
Fe displaces Cu from CuSO4 and forms FeSO4 in the solution hence the colour of the
solution changes from light blue to pale green. The displaced copper gets deposited on iron
nail. It appears as brown coating on iron nail.
Precautions:
1.Iron nail should be clean; otherwise impurity such as rust will cause interference to the
expected reaction.
2. During the experiment the test tube should not be disturbed. (The deposit of copper might
fall off) More the time taken better will be the result.

1.What is meant by displacement reaction?
Answer: A highly reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its compounds.

2.Which is more reactive? Copper or iron and why?


Answer: Fe is more reactive as it displaces Cu from its compounds.

3.Name the reaction that takes place, when an iron nail is kept in copper sulphate
solution.
Answer: Single displacement or REDOX.

4.What happens when (write also the chemical equations involved):


(a) Zn strip is kept in copper sulphate solution?
Answer:(Blue solution becomes colourless and brown deposit of Cu)
(b) Copper wire is kept in ferrous sulphate solution?
Answer: No visible change as Cu cannot displace Fe

LAB WORKSHEET -5
Finding the pH of the following samples by using pH
paper/universal indicator
Experiment-2(A) Date:………
Objectives:
To Finding the pH of the following samples by using pH
paper/universal indicator.
(i) Dilute Hydrochloric Acid
(ii) Dilute NaOH solution
(iii) Dilute Ethanoic Acid solution
(iv) Lemon juice
(v) Water
(vi) Dilute Hydrogen Carbonate solution
Theory:
The pH is the measure of the acidic (or) Basic power of a solution. It is a scale for
measuring hydrogen ion concentration in a solution. The pH scale varies from 0-
14. At 25C(298K), a neutral solution has pH equal to 7. A value less than 7 on
the pH scale represents an acidic solution whereas basic solution has pH value
more than 7.
pH is defined as the negative logarithm(base 10) of the hydrogen ion
concentration in moles litre.
pH=-log[H+]
Chemicals Required:
Dilute HCl, Dilute NaOH, solution, Dilute CH3COOH solution, Fresh Lemon
juice, Water and Dilute NaHCO3 Solution.

Apparatus Required:
Test tube, Test tube stand, Dropper, Glass Rod, pH Paper strips and pH colour
chart.
Procedure:
Step:1
Six clean test tube is placed in a test tube stand.
Step:2
Dilute HCl, Dilute NaOH Solution, Dilute CH3COOH solution, Lemon juice,
Water and Dilute NaHCO3 solution are taken separately in six test tubes and
labelled.
Step:3
One (or) two drops of each test solution on different strips of pH papers are put
using a glass rod. Glass rod used for one sample must be washed with water
before used for the other sample
Step:4
Note the pH by comparing the colour appeared on the pH paper with those on
colour chart for paper.
Step:5
For determining the pH of lemon juice, squeeze the fruit and place 1 or 2 drops of
the juice on the pH paper.

Observation:
S.NO Sample Solution Color appeared on pH pH of the solution Inference

Result and Discussion:
As pH depends upon H+ ions concentration and in an aqueous solution H+ and
OH- ion concentrations are correlated, therefore, every acidic and basic solution
shows different colour at different pH.

Precaution:
1.The test sample solutions should be freshly prepared and the fruit lemon juice
samples should also be fresh.
2. Glass rod used for one sample should be used for the other sample only after
washing it with water.
3.Acids must be handled carefully.
