Experiment to see how a difference in temperature affects the rate of reaction between Magnesium and Hydrochloric Acid Aim: My experiment is to find out how long 3cm strips of magnesium (Mg) will take to dissolve in 15ml of hydrochloric acid and 150ml of water. This test tube will all be held inside a 250ml glass beaker. I will be using five different temperatures of acid - 30, 35, 45, 55, and 70 degrees Celsius, and will record my results in a table. One reason I chose to change the temperature of the water as appose to other methods of resolving this experiment is because of the convection currents moving upwards through the water - this will make the magnesium float, consequently making things a lot easier and fairer. Background information: Magnesium has an atomic number of 12 and its symbol is "Mg" It is a shiny grey metallic element and found in group...
