An Investigation into the Factors Affecting the Rate of Reaction Between Magnesium and Acid Introduction In this piece of coursework I will investigate the factors that affect the rate of reaction between Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid. This reaction tends to be easily visible because Hydrogen (H) is produced in the reaction forming bubbles. Heat and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) are also produced during the reaction. The reaction between Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid continues until all the Magnesium has reacted to form Magnesium Chloride and there is none left. Word equation: Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid --> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Symbol equation: Mg + 2HCl ==> MgCl2 + H Factors In this section I will be talking about 'collisions' referring to the collision theory. The collision theory is thus: Particles are continually moving around. These particles sometimes collide with a solid. If the particles have enough energy they will react with the solid they collide with. Surface Area: When the surface are of...
