10
Q
What observations can be made when a metal reacts with an acid?
A
- Rapid fizzing
- Colourless gas is evolved (which pops with a lit splint (test for hydrogen))
- Mixture becomes very warm
- Metal gradually disappears to have a colourless solution

Q
Neutralisation
A
- Measure 50cm3 of dilute acid in a beaker and heat it in a tripod and gauss using a Bunsen burner
- Add excess reactant and heat and stir till no more reacts
- Filter off the excess and transfer the filtrate to an evaporating basin
- Heat the solution to boil off the water
- Allow crystals to form and solution to cool before filtering off the crystals
- Dry off the crystals
