COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITY

Which One Is More Metallic?

Metals react strongly with acids. They dissolve in a solution together with the production of hydrogen
gas. Ask assistance from a family member and do the activity by carefully following the steps below.

Materials:
● iron nail, ungalvanized, 1 inch long ● copper wire, 4 cm long
● muriatic acid, commercially sold, 20 mL ● sandwich spread glass bottles
● dropper ● sandpaper or steel wool
● white paper

Procedure:
1. Clean the iron nail and copper wire by rubbing them in sandpaper or steel wool.
2. Position the glass bottles on top of a white paper.
3. Transfer 10 mL of muriatic acid in the glass bottles using a dropper.
4. Drop the iron nail and copper wire in the glass bottles and observe what happens.

Record your observation on the table above.

PROCESS QUESTIONS

1. When you drop the iron nail and copper wire, is there a reaction?
