Why does experimenting the change of mass of a metal when sulfuric acid is added important? In other words, Why should the experiment be done what will it help us for?

Answer:
TO KNOW REACTIVITY OF H2SO4...
Explanation:
IN CHEMISTRY, ONE DO MANY SUCH RXNS AND EXPTS TO RESEARC FOR NEW FEATURES OF ANY COMPOUND OR METAL....
Answer:
The experiment is done first on a smaller scale using test tubes (lesson 1 below), with no attempt to recover the salts formed. This establishes that hydrogen production is a characteristic property of the reaction of metals and acids. It can then be done on a larger scale (lesson 2 below), and the salts formed can be recovered by crystallisation.
Lesson 1 is a series of test tube experiments in which each working group establishes as a common feature that hydrogen is given off as metals react with an acid – if the metal reacts at all. This should take around 40 minutes, and most classes should be able to do this version. Each working group needs a small selection of metals and acids to test.
The range of metals and acids tested can be extended to a teacher demonstration in the concluding part of this lesson.........
