Product Details

Pass an electric current through a solution, and collect pure silver metal! Demonstrate the real-world uses of electrochemistry with this innovative lab activity. Students investigate the reactions of copper, zinc and silver salt solutions in a partitioned Petri dish with mini-carbon electrodes. A simple 9-volt battery serves as a power source. The products are a beautiful metal coating at the negative electrode. A great activity for an applications-oriented chemistry class. Includes metal salt solutions, partitioned Petri dishes, battery caps with leads, pencil lead electrodes, reproducible student handouts, detailed background information and Teacher Notes with sample data and answers to all questions.

Complete for 30 students working in pairs. 9 V batteries are required and available separately.

Performance Expectations

MS-PS1-2. Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
HS-PS1-2. Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
HS-PS1-7. Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.
