Introduction

In this lab, you will investigate the reactivity of four metals (Zinc, Aluminium, Copper, and Magnesium) with hydrochloric acid. You will record observations, write equations, and determine the reactivity order of these metals.

Total Marks: 30

Materials

Dilute hydrochloric acid (0.5M)
Samples of: Zinc, Aluminium, Copper, Magnesium
Test tubes and test tube rack
Safety goggles and gloves

Procedure & Observations

Part 1: Metal-Acid Reactions (20 marks)

Instructions: For each metal, add a small piece to 2mL of hydrochloric acid in a test tube. Record your observations and complete the equations.
