An Experiment to study the affect of changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid on the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium. Aim To study the affect of changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid on the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium. Background- The speed of a reaction is based on four factors, temperature, concentration, catalysts and surface area. The faster the particles of each substance collide, the faster the reaction will take place. This is due to the collision theory. If you heat up the two or more reactants, then the particles will gain more energy and will collide with other particles more frequently and harder. When I say harder I mean with a lot more kinetic energy that would have been transferred from the thermal energy applied. A catalyst will lower the activation energy, needed for a reaction to take place. This means less energy is needed for...
