One method for protecting metals against corrosion is to connect the metal directly to a "sacrificial anode". This is the method used to protect pipelines and ships hulls. Which of the following metals would you consider the best candidate for a sacrificial anode for a ship's hull? The hull is steel (which is mostly iron).
Forecasting Periodic Trends: A Semester-Long Team Exercise for Nonscience MajorsJohn Tierney Teams of students in a course for nonscience majors identify trends among the properties of elements in the periodic table, use Excel to plot and produce best-fit equations to describe relationships among those properties, and apply the resulting formulas to predict and justify the properties of missing elements. Tierney, John. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1215.

Sampling the Soils Around a Residence Containing Lead-Based Paints: An X-ray Fluorescence ExperimentSteven J. Bachofer A soil sampling experiment using field portable instruments was conducted at a pre-1950 construction known to have lead-based paint. Students collected data following regulatory protocols at multiple locations within and outside of the house's dripline, reported their results, and provided the owner advice on methods to minimize contact with contaminated soil. Bachofer, Steven J. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 980.

A Simple Penny AnalysisNicholas C. Thomas and Stephen Faulk Describes a simple procedure for determining the zinc composition of U.S. pennies in which the penny zinc core is dissolved in acid and the evolved hydrogen gas is collected by water displacement.

Burning Magnesium (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Burning Magnesium: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". In this problem we will look at the reactions of two elements with oxygen in air. We will begin by observing the reaction of magnesium metal with oxygen when the metal is heated in air. General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material.

Fireworks (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Fireworks: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". In this problem we will study the colors produced by metal salts in flames. General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material.

Metals 1 (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Reactions of Metals 1: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". In this problem we will observe the reactions of different metals (Zn, Ni, Mn, Fe) with iodine. General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material.
