However, between the maximum and minimum metals, in terms of reactivity, aluminium, zinc and iron showed no sign of expansion in the 30 second observational time limits. Nevertheless, the aluminium balloon expanded after approximately 40 minutes. As neither zinc nor iron reacted in this time span, it was confirmed that aluminium had the second highest metal reactivity, as anticipated from the hypothesis
