Experiment: Displacement Reactions

Drop a metal into a salt solution and observe if displacement occurs. A more reactive metal displaces a less reactive one from its compound.

Metal:

Solution:

📝 Observation

Select a metal and solution, then click "Drop Metal In" to observe the reaction.

Experiment: Metal + Dilute Acid

Add different metals to dilute hydrochloric acid and observe which ones produce hydrogen gas (bubbles). Metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series will react.

Select metal:

📝 Observation

Select a metal and click "Add to Dilute HCl" to observe the reaction.

Experiment: Metal + Water

Observe how different metals react with water. Very reactive metals react with cold water, some with hot water/steam, and some don't react at all.

Select metal:

Condition:

📝 Observation

Select a metal and water condition, then click "Add Metal" to see the reaction.

Experiment: Flame Test for Metal Ions

Different metal ions produce characteristic flame colours when heated. This helps identify unknown metal compounds. Click a metal salt to see its flame colour.

📝 Observation

Click on a metal salt below to dip the wire loop and observe the flame colour.
