TO investigate the effects of HCL on magnesium strips (rate of Reaction) Mg(s) + 2HCl(ag) --> MgCl2(ag) + H2(g) Mg = Magnesium HCl = Hydrochloric acid (s) = Solid (g) = Gas (ag) = Mixed with water What I will be seeing in the beaker as Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid react is the solution fizzing and making bubbles and will see slowly or fast depending on how much concentration there is, Magnesium breaking away and eventually dissolving. The different things I could measure in this reaction to work out the speed of the reaction are: * precipitation * change in mass * the volume of gas given off * high and low concentration Precipitation is when the product is a precipitate, which clouds the solution. To measure the speed of how long it takes for it to disappear is to observe a marker through the solution. Change in mass is usually the gas given off and if...
