Planing my investigation
Method
1.Firstly I will measure 20ml of Copper Sulphate solution (CuSO4) in a measuring cylinder, for precise accuracy, and then pour the solution into test tube. I will place the test tube into a beaker and insulate the test tube, for minimum heat loss. (As shown in the diagram above.)
2.Secondly I will measure the required amount of

better plan: *I could use a funnel to pour Zn and CuSO4 into the beaker to minimise loss of reactants *I could time the reaction so all experiments have an equal time to react *I could repeat the experiment further for a better average For further work to provide additional evidence, I could redo the experiment but investigate the effect of Zn on different volumes of CuSO4, and see what differences take place then.
