Metals in Aqueous Solutions – Chemistry
In this online simulation for grades 9–12, students conduct tests of various metals in aqueous solutions to determine the relative reactivity of the metals and record their observations. Through four simulated tests, students observe a total of eight metals in various combinations with the corresponding metal nitrate solutions and hydrochloric acid. Students interpret their collected data to construct an activity series—i.e., a list of elements in decreasing order of their reactivity—of the elements used in the simulation.
