Question

Sa g 0.37 1. Based on the Eo values in Appendix 1 at the end of your lab manual, rank each of the metals from most active to least active. Include the H' ion and Ag in your ranking. Look up the ionization energy of each metal and list it next to the metal in your report. Please state if there is a relationship trend between metal activity and ioniza- METAL IONIZATION ENERGY tion energy. 125 pt.J Note: Please include the units for lonization Energy. The ionization energy is not the Eo value. Knowing the Statue of Liberty was made with copper, which metal from the above activity series might have been a better choice than copper? Why do you think it was not chosen? [10 pt.] 97
