A student is conducting an investigation to observe chemical reactions. The student obtains two strips of magnesium, Mg, ribbon that are each 3 cm long. One strip of magnesium is placed in a test tube containing 5 mL of water. The other strip of magnesium is placed in a test tube containing 5 mL of hydrochloric acid, HCl.

Both liquids are at room temperature.

The student’s observations are recorded in the table. Which statement is not supported by the student’s observations?

• A chemical reaction takes place between magnesium and hydrochloric acid.

• A gas is released in Test Tube 2.

• The substances in both test tubes are reactive only at high temperatures.

• Energy is released in the reaction involving hydrochloric acid.
