The Reaction of Hydrochloric Acid and Magnesium Introduction When 2 elements react together a new compound is formed. For a chemical reaction to take place, particles from each element must collide together. When the particles collide they must also have enough energy. Hydrochloric acid + Magnesium Magnesium chloride + hydrogen For an acid to react with a metal, the metal must be higher than copper in the reactivity series. We can describe acids as being dilute (less particles per unit volume) or concentrated (more particles per unit volume). This can be measured in a scale where the units are known as molars. A dilute acid will have a value of 1 molar, while a concentrated acid will have a value of 4 molar. Plan Aim To find out if the reaction of hydrochloric acid and magnesium changes if the molar of the hydrochloric acid Variables The variables in this experiment are: * The molar of hydrochloric acid used * The amount...
