1 Dilute Magnesium Eg glowing splint test Nothing happened and it went

hydrochloric metal 3 cm cloudy.
acid 10 mL length
Eg burning splint test We put the split in and a little
hydrogen pop happened.

Eg add lime water and shake Nothing

2 Dilute Calcium Eg glowing splint test The splint went out and it did
hydrochloric carbonate not relight.
acid 10 mL 1 spatula
Eg burning splint test The splint went out right as
soon as it went in and the
whole tube went cloudy.

Eg add lime water and shake The lime water turned opaque
and small chunks of calcium
carbonate started to form.

3 Dilute hydrogen Manganese Eg glowing splint test We put the splint in it and then
peroxide 10 mL dioxide ½ it reignited.
