Acid rain Investigation

In my garden I have a metal statue made of an alloy. Which consists of mainly magnesium. I have noticed that during the year it corrodes at different rates. I will now devise an experiment to investigate the causes of this problem. The reactions of magnesium with certain elements are detailed below (A) Magnesium with Water Magnesium does not react readily with cold water but in steam the magnesium lights and leaves behind magnesium oxide …

…each experiment we placed the correct amount of H2SO4 and water i.e. 50 H2SO4 and 0 of water we done this using a measuring cylinder. 3. We saw how long it takes the magnesium to completely react with the concentration. 4. We then record the results in a suitable table and for the increased accuracy we repeated and got an average. 5. The results we obtained can now be plotted in a suitable graph. Table of Results
