The more reactive metal it is, the more likely it is to from ions and force out. Therefore magnesium is more reactive as it forms a compound more quickly and stronger which displaces zinc during a displacement reaction. for example when u burn MG and ZN in air they both are fighting for the OXIDE to make an oxide compound (either zinc oxide or magnesium oxide) as the magnesium is more reactive and higher in the reactivity series it overpowers the zinc and displaces it to form a compound with the oxide which is called Magnesium oxide leaving the zinc on its own. Compare this result with the our result is the same because Magnesium is furthest from the stable group and it’s got less electrons in then the other metals in the shells so there more chances of it reacting then the other metals. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Magnesium is the most reactive and the result for this is because magnesium has some properties that make it reactive. Another the reason for this is that Magnesium is the furthest from left to right and Magnesium is a metal this is furthest away from group 8 which it can become stable and if it the furthest out of the 5 metals from group 8 then there is a lot chances that I could react very quickly because it’s not close to group 8. The reasons for aluminum to have such slow reactions because it’s the closest to group 8 and it’s have more electrons that could make is holding on to it on the last shell so there won’t be a lot of reactions to it.

 * We shook some of the test tubes to see the marks (which is which), and to see what’s happening we took the test tube up. ||  || Maybe put the marking tape on the top of the test tube so that it doesn’t hide behind the test tube holder and instead of taking one test tube up; hold the test tube holder up. ||


 * We re-used the funnels, there might be metals mixing. ||  || Only use one funnel for one metal; make 5 funnels. ||

There are few reasons for it. First, we didn’t put the metals in the acid in the same time, which we have to. Since we didn’t put the metals in the same time, the one later that we put in might be faster in reacting with the acid, but since it was put in later, it might react later than the other one which is actually reacting slower. Also, we didn’t use 5 funnels, we re-used the funnels. Therefore, some of the metal (powder) mixed with other; therefore it didn’t or did react the way it does normally.

That is because aluminum doesn’t mix or react with acid. In the real life, there might be some acid rain, then the statue with aluminum built and magnesium built would have different results. Aluminum built statue would be just fine but magnesium built statue would be ruined. "Why is Magnesium more reactive than Zinc?" //Yahoo Answer//. Yahoo, n.d.
