Aim: To conduct reactions between various metals and oxygen,water,dilute water and dilute alkali to make decisions about their reactivity. Equipment: * 5 Small pieces of each of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc and aluminium * 35mL dilute (1 mol/L) hydrochloric acid (HCl) * 10ml conc (8 mol/L) hydrochloric acid (HCl) * 35ml dilute (1 mol/L) Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) * 10 ml dilute (1 mol/L) sulfuric acid (H2SO4) * 14 test tubes * test tube rack * test tube holder *<Tab/&…showed first 75 words of 1845 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1845 total…metals with water, oxygen, dilute acid, concentrated acid and alkali. Another improvement may be to react the metals with more things, such as different types of acid etc. Conclusion: It was found that metals are highly reactive with oxygen gas and acid, they aren't not highly reactive with water in its liquid state, but are in its gaseous state, but not all metals react, and that the metals are fairly uncreactive when reacted with alkali.
