Chemical Formulas and Chemical Equations Purpose: To study different types of chemical equations and to conclude if a reaction occurs when two compounds are combined. When reactions occur you should then be able to predict the products which are formed. Procedures for Series A-E Series A: Four test solutions and four reagents are added together making 16 reactions. You note the appearance of all the solutions before and after the reactions and also noting if precipitates …showed first 75 words of 345 total…

When combining a reactive metal with a strong acid, hydrogen gas is released. How vigorously the hydrogen gas is produced is a good indication as to how reactive the metal is. We also concluded that different compounds exchange certain parts while others stay as ions based on the solubility rules.
