An Experiment to Investigate the Factors which effect the Rate of Reaction between Magnesium and Sulphuric Acid Aim I plan to investigate the concentration of acid, in the reaction between dilute sulphuric acid and magnesium ribbon. The rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of how fast the reaction takes place. In this investigation I will test different concentrations of acid reacting with magnesium. Prediction I prediction that as the concentration of the sulphuric acid increases, the time taken for the magnesium to disappear decreases. I predict that when the concentration of the sulphuric acid doubles, the rate of the reaction doubles. Linking prediction to theory Reaction rate and concentration. The collision theory describes how the rate of reaction increases (the time taken for the magnesium ribbon to disappear when it is reacted with sulphuric acid) when the concentration of SO4 increases. As the reaction continues, the concentration of the reacting substances decreases and...
