Making an Activity Series of Metals using different Solutions Purpose/ Hypothesis: The purpose of this lab was to clearly identify the reactivity of magnesium‚ zinc and copper. The metals reactivity will be exemplified as it will be tested with different solutions such as zinc sulfate (ZnSO4)‚ copper sulfate (CuSO4)‚ hydrochloric acid (HCL)‚ magnesium sulfate (Mg2SO4)‚ iron (II) sulfate (FeSO4) and tin (II) chloride (SnCl2). This will allow us in creating an activity series to visually see the reactivity
