Jason Kotiah 7/9/2000 An Experiment to Investigate the Kinetics of the Reaction of Magnesium with Acid Aim The aim is to find out the kinetics and determine the rate of reaction of magnesium with hydrochloric acid. To do this we have to measure the amount of hydrogen gas being produced within a given time and from this, the order of magnesium and HCl(aq) can be worked out. Also the activation energy can be worked out, by increasing the temperature of the HCl(aq) and from this, measure the amount of hydrogen produced within certain time intervals. Background Theory The collision theory is a model, which has been used to account for the dependence of rate of reaction on temperature. The collision theory involves reacting particles such as HCl(aq) moving towards each other such as magnesium and colliding in such a way that bonds are broken and new bonds formed. In many reactions between gases, it is the...
