50 cm3 of 1 M copper (II) sulphate solution was placed in 100 cm

      

50 cm3 of 1 M copper (II) sulphate solution was placed in 100 cm 3 plastic beaker. The temperature of the solution was measured. Excess metal A powder was added to the solution, the mixture stirred, and the maximum temperature of the mixture measured. The experiment was repeated using powders of metals B and C. The results obtained are given in the table below;
