Plan We are going to be studying the reaction between zinc and copper (2) sulphate solution. As Zinc is higher up in the reactivity series this shall be a displacement reaction in which zinc will take something away from the copper (2) sulphate solution. To do this we will be measuring the temperature rise when using different amounts of zinc. We will be reacting the zinc and copper(2) sulphate solution in a polystyrene cup as the preliminary experiment showed this to be superior to a plastic cup. Then we will measure the temperature rise of the solution. We will be using 0.5,1.0,1.25,1.50,1.75,2.00,2.25,2.50 amounts of zinc in grams. As Zinc is higher up in the reactivity series this will be a displacement reaction in which it takes something away from the copper solution. The symbol equation for this is: + + Therefore the products of this reaction are zinc sulphate + copper This is also going...
