Magnesium and Hydrochloric Acid Coursework Aim The aim of this investigation is to determine what affects the rate of reaction when magnesium and hydrochloric acid are combined to form a solution. The variable that I am going to change shall be the concentration of acid (the acid used in this experiment is going to be hydrochloric acid). We are going to control the temperature, the amount of acid and the amount of magnesium. We are going to measure the amount of hydrogen given off from the experiment. Prediction I expect that the magnesium will displace the hydrogen in hydrochloric acid, to form magnesium chloride. I expect this to happen because magnesium is higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen. If an element is higher in the reactivity series than an element from a compound, it will displace it. In this case, magnesium will be displacing hydrogen. This is called a displacement reaction. Magnesium is an element...
