Aim You are going to carry out some reactions and decide whether each one is exothermic or
endothermic.
Safety The boiling tubes should be in a boiling tube rack and not held in your hand.
IRRITANTS = NaOH, HCl, product of Ca + H2O reaction
FLAMMABLE = Mg, Ca, Zn (there should be no flames in the lab)
HARMFUL = CuSO4, NH4Cl
Ca must only be handled with tweezers.
Do not pour waste metals down the sink.
Method Each reaction should be done in a boiling tube which is in a boiling tube rack. You should
measure the temperature before adding the second reagent, stir the reaction carefully with the
thermometer, and record the highest or lowest temperature reached.
