 **LAB Scientific Investigations** **: ** ** Some Metals are More Reactive than Others ** I f... we test which metal is most reactive out of the 5 metals (iron, aluminum, copper, magnesium, and zinc) Then… Magnesium will be the most reactive, Because… It has a smaller amount of electrons and this makes it easier for magnesium to bond with other elements.
 * Aim: ** T he aim of this experiment is to find out which of the five metals (iron, aluminum, copper, magnesium, and zinc) are least reactive and which are most reactive

We found this because when we carried out our experiments, magnesium reacted the most because the balloon blew up and we observed many different reactions. Our results also supported the hypothesis because in our hypothesis we state that magnesium would be most reactive and in the experiments that we carried out, we found out that magnesium
 * Conclusion: **

In our experiment, we found out that out of all the five metals (iron, aluminum, copper, magnesium and zinc) magnesium is the most reactive. We found this because when we carried out our experiment the magnesium reacted the most. The magnesium reacted by bubbling a lot, getting hot and the balloon blew up very much and very fast. The magnesium was also very fast to react. This means that our results support our hypothesis, since we said that the magnesium was most reactive and in the experiments we carried out, we found out that magnesium was the most reactive, just as we predicted. This part of the hypothesis was right but I did some research and I found that magnesium is not most reactive because of the reason we stated in our hypothesis. I researched and found some information. When a metal bonds with non metal, which in this case would be the hydrochloric acid, it can lose electrons. Magnesium has only 2 valence electrons so it is easier for electrons to be removed from magnesium than from any of the other metals because they have more valence electrons. “All these metals have one electron in the valence electrons' shell; this electron can be removed relatively easily, which means that this electron has a very small ionization energy” <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> ("Experiment 3 - The periodic"). So that part of the hypothesis wasn’t right but the prediction itself was. It is just the explanation that we got wrong. <span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Microsoft JhengHei'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Microsoft JhengHei';"> The reliability of the information posted in this experiment is mostly reliable. I say mostly because some of the substances were mixed up during the tests and we may have thought on element to be another. Also 2 of the experiments were not as “fair” as possible, the Aluminum test and the Magnesium test. The Aluminum test did not seem like it was reacting as planned, the Aluminum stuck to the sides of the test tube. This could have been because the equipment was wet, or that it was hard to administer it because there was so much and got caught in the paper. Both these occurrences seemed to have crippled the experiment unless that’s was occurs normally. The problem when the Magnesium was that it was hard to administer for the pieces were too big so they had to be spaced in the acid by hand and this method was slow and harder to place it all at once. This could affect the turnout of the experiment but this isn’t relevant for what we want to measure. As explained earlier the data is mostly reliable. The method used in this experiment fairly valid for the basic steps of the test; however some things were not explained that one would have to improvise or assume to complete all of the tests accordingly. For example the method did not explain how to organize or assemble the test before actually performing it; so for my group we compared it to previous experiments and improvised ways of administering the metal. "the gas emurging out of the aicd is most likly Hidrogen".(wood) the gas comming off of the metal is Hidrogen because it might be seperating from the acids formula "**Hydrochloric acid** is the solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in water"
 * Evaluation: **
 * Weakness ||   || Strength ||


 * Not all of the metals that were tested in the experiment were powdered and this could affect the outcome ||  || Make a Magnesium powder or make the other metals into some kind of solid that is near the same mass as each other. ||


 * The amounts of the metals were delayed and some of the substance got caught inside the paper tube ||  || Make all of the power enter the acid in the same time with the correct amount ||

There were many things that made this experiment a fair test, we did this to the best of our ability with the equipment that we had access to. One of the most crucial of things was the measurement of the hydrochloric acid and this was measured evenly between the test tubes. The same weight of the metal each experiment but in this case the actual overall mass of the powder together would make it more of a fair test. This test was not entirely fair in many cases but the majority seems to be done as fair as possible.


 * Real life applications: **

// Human ingenuity  // This experiment is an example of human ingenuity because to even make and break down the substances for the experiment would need development and thought. We would test things like this to find how durable or strong the bonds are in different substances in different states of matter.

// Environments  // This experiment is related to the environment because many of the things that we use in science experiments are made naturally from nature. The metals used in this experiment were made naturally in the environment and humans took advantage of it because it was so rich and plentiful.
