Introduction All chemical reactions involve reactants, which when mixed may cause a chemical reaction which will make products. In my case the reactants are hydrochloric acid and magnesium ribbon. In the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium ribbon, the hydrochloric acid will dissolve the magnesium and produce hydrogen gas. The chemical reaction takes place when the magnesium ribbon is dropped into the hydrochloric acid. The products that are formed during this reaction are hydrogen gas and magnesium chloride. The formula equation for this experiment is: Mg + 2HCl ? MgCl2 + H2 Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid ? Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Depending on certain factors the rate that this reaction will take place will either increase or decrease. The factors that may affect the rate of reaction are as follows: · Temperature of the Hydrochloric Acid · Mass of the Magnesium Ribbon used · Concentration of the Hydrochloric acid · Surface area of the Magnesium Ribbon used All of...
