Khalid Shaheen 10F 7.11.00 RATE OF REACTIONS QUESTION Does changing the temperature of the acid affect the speed of reaction? APPARATUS Hydrochloric Acid - 20ml (I will measure it using a measuring cylinder) Flask - to keep the hydraulic acid in it Water Tub - 3 of them with different temperatures (40°C, 45?C, 50°C, 2?C (using ice) room temperature (about 23?C). Clamp stand - to hold the gas cylinder Magnesium Ribbon - 5cm Stop Watch - to time the experiment accurate Gas Syringe - to see how fast the magnesium reacts with the hydraulic acid in ml Thermometer - to check the temperature of the acid inside the flask. DIAGRAM METHOD I will set up my apparatus as shown in the diagram but before I put the magnesium ribbon in it, I will make sure that the acid is exactly at 50°C, and nowhere near 60°C because if it goes higher it might be dangerous or explode.
