Rates of Reaction Aim: The aim of our experiment is to find out if the concentration of the hydrochloric acid will speed the reaction with magnesium powder Prediction: I predict that when I increase the concentration of the acid, the rate of reaction will increase as well. I also think that I will find this pattern that when the concentration is doubled the initial rate of reaction would double, so I expect my graph to look like a straight diagonal line. My reasons for these predictions are that when the concentration of the acid is increased there will be a greater number of acid molecules present in that volume, so there are more acid molecules colliding with the magnesium particles. If I use 1 Molar concentration of acid there will be fewer collisions than 2 Molar concentrations... When I increase the concentration there will be more acid particles in same volume, therefore there is...
