Task:
Examine the properties of few elements given below the table
Materials required:
Test tubes, test tube stand, china dish pair of tongs, universal indicator, spatula, Bunsen burner,
deflagrating spoon, knife
Elements- copper, zinc, iron, sodium, magnesium, universal indicator, distilled water
Hazards: Magnesium, sodium when heated release large of amount of energy. Hydrogen burns
in explosive way
Procedure: Put small pieces of different elements in china dish. Look at these elements and
describe their outer appearance in writing.
The Reaction of Metals with cold water
All you need is a selection of metals, water, universal indicator, rack of test tubes and a
splint.
The experiment is extremely easy to do, simply add small similar sized portions of the
metal to a few cm3 of cold water containing a few drops of universal indicator.
Before adding the metal the indicator should give a green colour indicating neutral ~pH
7.
Keep an eye on all of them at the same time and note any changes and the relative rate of
evolution of gas bubbles.
