Pop test

 Aim: To show that hydrogen gas is produced when a metal reacts with acid. 

Equipment: A test tube, bunsen burner, wooden splint, a bottle of acid, a piece of metal, safety glasses. 

Method

  • light you bunsen burner
  • add your sample of metal t your tube. add 2 mL of acid. 
  • carefully invert the boiling tube above the test tube containing the metal and acid (as shown in the diagram below). 
Test for Gases - EleviseResult: the result is very surprising, it pops that's why the title of this experiment is the pop test. I saw how the pops happen. it is very cool it smokes after the pops happen. 

Discussion: it happens because of the hydrogen gas. this makes the pop sound because of the gas in it we trap it in the test tube so we can make the popping sound. 

Concussion:  yes, it did work. I wouldn't change anything in this experiment, I think that this experiment went really well.
