Question 29
Work in groups of five. Investigate the reactivity of metals with dilute acids using household items (Figure 6.15). The items are vinegar, lemon juice, aluminium foil, a steel paper clip and copper wire.
Caution: Vinegar is dilute ethanoic acid and lemon juice contains citric acid. They are safe to handle but may cause skin or eye irritation when in contact. Wear safety goggles and hand gloves. Handle the metals safely. Be careful of sharp edges.
Decide what other materials you need and how you would carry out the investigation.
