Instructions
1. Care! You should wear GOGGLES and LAB-COATS at all
times during this practical
2. Obtain a dropping tile
3. Add a few drops of each of the solutions to individual
‘holes’ in the dropping tile. Make sure you know which
solution is which
4. Choose a metal
5. Add one piece of that metal to each of the solutions
6. Observe – you will need to watch carefully for any evidence
of a reaction taking place
7. If a reaction takes place, put a tick into the relevant box. If
no reaction takes place, put a cross.
8. If a reaction takes place, try and describe what is
happening
9. Wash all the reactions into a large beaker – do NOT put
any solids into the sink!
10. Repeat for each metal using fresh solutions
