Answer the case-based question given below:
Collect all the metal samples except sodium and potassium. If the samples are tarnished, rub them clean with sand paper.
CAUTION: Do not take sodium and potassium as they react vigorously even with cold water.
Put the samples separately in test tubes containing dilute hydrochloric acid. Suspend thermometers in the test tubes, so that their bulbs are dipped in the acid.
Observe the rate of formation of bubbles carefully.
