The Reactivity Series. Aim: To find the order of reactivity using 5 metals; Magnesium, Copper, Zinc, Iron and Calcium. I will find the order by adding each metal with Copper (ii) Sulphate, (Cu SO4), and finding there exothermic temperatures through out the experiment. Prediction: I think the order of reactivity for these five metals will be: Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron and Copper. This is because of where each metal is placed in the Periodic Table. Group 1 and 2 are more reactive than the transition metals, and the further you go down a group, the more reactive the metal gets. That is why Calcium is one period below Magnesium. Iron, Zinc and Copper are transition metals, meaning they come last. To find out the reactivity of the transition metals, you see how reactive each one is when it is added to an acid and water solution. No experiment is needed to...
