A chemical reaction, at the most basic level, means that one or more
substances change into new substances. This often involves observable
phenomenon, such as heat and light, color change or the production of gas. At

CONCLUSION
From the results obtained , it is found that magnesium has the higher
level of corrosion.Magnesium metal corrode more in all the reagent than other
metals.It disappear in Hydrochloric acid and vinegar. While zinc metals does
not corrode more in all the reagents.
We know that corrosion is a process which we come across in our
daily life. This process is a slow destruction of metals and materials
containing environment We can use coating method for avoid this destruction
like coating the surface of the metals with thin layer of paint, varnish or
ceramic.

Procedure
:
a) 20ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid were mixed into 3 beakers and
1 petri dish.
b) The beakers were marked as Mg, Cu, Al and petri dish as Zn.
c) The weights of zinc plate, magnesium stripe, copper plate and
aluminium sheet were recorded as the initial weight.
d) The magnesium stripe, copper plate, aluminium sheet are placed into
separate beakers and zinc plate into the petri dish
e) Step 1,2,3 and 4 are repeated with Conncentrated sodium hydroxide,
Vinegar, Coke and Tap water.
f) specimens are left in the lab for 3 days.
g) Then, the metals were placed under the sun to let it dry before record
the weight of the final measurement.
h) Corrosions that occurs were noted. Final weights were recorded.
