Introduction I am aiming to find out how long it takes for a strip of magnesium, to dissolve, in a solution of water and acid. Variables> Concentration of acid> Length of Magnesium> Temperature of water> Temperature of acid> Amount of acid> Size of conical flask> Time taken Fair test The variable I will change is the concentration of acid. I will keep the length of the magnesium the same, as with the temperature of the water, amount of acid, size of conical flask and time taken. To make it a fair test. Plan - Safety Put safety goggles on Instructions 1) Firstly I collected all my equipment 2) Measure 50ml of acid into a measuring cylinder 3) Pour acid into conical flask 4) Cut off a piece of magnesium (5cm) 5) Put the piece of magnesium into the conical flask and start the stop watch 6) Watch the reaction take place, and when all of the magnesium dissolves, stop the clock 7) Record the...
