A Medicinal Problem Introduction: This is an investigation to try to produce Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO4) in an efficient way as an anti - inflammatory agent for medicinal purposes. The company producing Magnesium Sulphate has received a very large order due as soon as possible. One way of producing Magnesium Sulphate is to add Magnesium (Mg) to Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4). A chemical reaction takes place because the Magnesium is higher up in the reactivity series than the Hydrogen (reactive part of any acid) and therefore replaces the Hydrogen to form Magnesium Sulphate. Scientific Knowledge: Part of scientific knowledge is the collision theory which firstly states that for particles to react they must first collide. Secondly for reactants to react they require a minimum amount of energy. The rate of reaction is related to the collision theory since that for there even to be any rate of reaction the collision theory has to take place. Strong acids...
