Lab report Conclusion:
Write a conclusion statement that addresses the following questions:
• Summarize your observations of each reaction. Based on the products made, were your predictions of chemical reaction type correct?
• Some of the reactions you conducted can be categorized as more than one type of reaction. Which reactions are these, and what are the types of reactions?
• How do you think the investigation can be explored further?
Post-Lab Reflection Questions
Answer the reflection questions using what you have learned from the lesson and your experimental data. It will be helpful to refer to your chemistry journal notes. Answer questions in complete sentences.
1. If you were to measure the mass of magnesium and hydrochloric acid before combining them in the test tube, how would that mass compare to the mass of reactants left in the test tube after the reaction? Explain your answer and how it corresponds to the law of conservation of mass.

2. In what other ways could you test your predictions to confirm their accuracy?

3. How do the chemical reactions in this lab activity compare to nuclear reactions, such as fission and fusion?
