Aim Investigating displacement reactions to find out the order of reactivity of some metals. I will find this out by comparing temperature rise caused by different metals during displacement reactions in a salt solution. Prediction I predict that the reactivity series for these three metals (Zinc, Magnesium, Iron) will look like this: Magnesium Zinc Iron I also think the following: Magnesium will have the most vigorous reaction and the temperature change for this metal will be the most. Zinc will have a vigorous reaction with the solution but it will not be as vigorous as the reaction Magnesium will have. Iron will have the least vigorous reaction, as it is closest to Copper in the reactivity series (when compared with Zinc and Magnesium). Therefore the displacement reaction will occur between Iron and the Copper Sulphate solution but it will not be as significant as the displacement reaction Zinc and Magnesium will have with the Copper Sulphate solution. I...
