Observation
Metal specimen Observation
 The colour of steel from silver turn
immersion of Steel in 1 M 𝐻2 𝑆𝑂4 for 1 hour to black
 Colour of solution change from
colourless turn to yellow after 20
minutes

 More bubble appeared after 20

immersion of Steel in 1 M 𝐻𝑁𝑂3 for 1 hour minutes
 The colour of steel change from
silver to black after 45 minutes

immersion of Stainless Steel in 1 M 𝐻2 𝑆𝑂4  Steel become brown after 45

for 1 hour minutes

immersion of Stainless Steel in 1 M 𝐻𝑁𝑂3  Less bubbles appeared

for 1 hour  No change colour of steel after 1
hour
