Investigate the factors that affect the energy released during reactions between metals and acids Introduction Introduction The experiment we will use for this investigation is as follows: - There are a number of factors that can affect the amount of energy released during this experiment. These include: - 1. Mass of magnesium used 2. Concentration of acid used 3. Surface area of magnesium Mass of magnesium The more magnesium that is present in the reaction, the more collisions there will be. This should increase the effectiveness of the reaction. The better the reaction that takes place between the magnesium atoms and the hydrochloric acid, the more energy that will be released. Concentration of acid used The more concentrated the acid, the more energy that will be released. If the acid is a low concentration, the acid particles will be widely spread in the water, and the number of collisions should be less giving out less...
