Electrochemical series

At the end of this activity, students should be able to:
– estimate the oxidising and reducing properties of chemical elements on the basis of their position in the electrochemical series
– use the electrochemical series to predict the direction of displacement of metals from solutions of their salts by other metals
– use the electrochemical series to identify metals that will displace hydrogen from acids
– estimate the oxidising and reducing properties of chemical species from their position in the electrochemical series
– estimate the feasibility of a redox reaction using the position of the reactants in the electrochemical series
– predict whether a particular substance can be used for the oxidation of another substance under standard conditions.
