To study the effect on the rusting of iron nail when it comes into contact
with other metals.
What is the effect of other metals on the rusting of iron nail?
Manipulated:
Responding:
Constant:
Iron nails, magnesium ribbon, copper strip, agar solution (gelatin),
potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) solution, phenolphthalein indicator
Test tube, test tube rack, sandpaper
1. Clean the iron nail, magnesium ribbon and copper strip using the
sandpaper.
2. Put an iron nail into test tube A, an iron nail that is coiled with
magnesium ribbon into test
tube B, and an iron nail that is coiled with copper strip into test tube C.
3. Mix the hot agar solution with a few drops of potassium
hexacyanoferrate(III) solution and a
few drops of phenolphthalein indicator, and pour the mixture into test
tubes A, B and C.
4. Leave the test tubes in the test tube rack for three days.
5. Record and compare the observation on the colour change in each test
tube.
