10 Youssef and Blessy investigate the reaction of metals with dilute hydrochloric acid.
They put 10 cm3 of hydrochloric acid into four test-tubes.
They then add 0.1g of a different metal to each test-tube.
Youssef and Blessy measure the time it takes for the metal to react completely.
This is the reaction time.
The table shows their results.
