Chemical reactions lab

Today we did a lab to test how certain elements would react with certain liquids. The elements were Lead, copper, calcium, magnesium, Zinc, and Tin. We had to place one of each of the metals into a well plate and then put a couple drops of water on each metal. We also did this with Hydrochloric acid, copper sulfate, and silver nitrate. Each liquid was put onto a fresh piece of metal that had not been reacted with. The most reacted liquid was Silver Nitrate which reacted with all but one metal. The results were quite interesting in that multiple different compounds of varying color formed.
