Virtual Lab
Today in Chemistry we did a virtual lab in the computer lab. The purpose of the lab is to let us review the concept of the activity series use for identifying single replacement reactions. We use different examples of metals to form different kinds of ions throughout the lab. The pattern we discovered at the end is that the higher reactive metals forms lower reactive ions. It is because the new formed ion by the highly reactive metal is harder to be replace by another metal during single replacement. Thus there is lower chance for it to become reactive again unless replace by a higher reactive metal than before.
