When a metal reacts with an acid, the same types of products are always formed.
The equipment we used are Bunsen burner, a test tube, a boiling tube, wooden splint, a bottle of acid, a piece of metal (Magnesium), and safety glasses.
Method: 1) Light your Bunsen burner. 2) Add your sample of metal to your test tube. Add 2mL of acid. 3) Carefully invert the boiling tube above the test tube containing the metal and acid. 4) Hold the test tubes together for a few minutes, allowing time for the inverted boiling tube to fill with gas. 5) When you think the tube is full, your lab partner should light a wooden splint. 6) Carefully, but quickly, tilt the boiling tube full of gas upwards and insert the burning splint into the mouth of the test tube.
Observation: As the magnesium reacted with the acid it released hydrogen gas going up stuck in the boiling tube that's upside down outside the test tube, then carefully and quickly burned that hydrogen gas , the boiling tube.
