  Write down your answer in Table below. [1 mark]


(b) Based on the result in Table above, state one inference. [1 mark]

(c) State the variables in this experiment.
(i) Constant variable [1 mark]
(ii) Responding variable [1 mark]

(d) Based on this experiment, mark (\/) the metal which is more reactive. [1 mark]
$\begin{array}{l}\text{Sodium }\boxed{}\\ \text{Calcium }\boxed{}\end{array}$


Answer:
