An Investigation of factors affecting rate of reaction between an acid and a metal Plan I am going to investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between magnesium ribbon and dilute hydrochloric acid. For a chemical reaction to take place, particles of the two reactants must collide with each other. From my research on collision theory (from Letts GCSE Chemistry), I also know that the particles must have enough energy to react. The minimum amount of energy for a reaction to take place is called the "activation energy". There are 3 main factors which will affect the rate of my reaction: * Surface area of the Mg ribbon * Concentration of the acid * Temperature of the acid I am going to study the effect of temperature. EQUATION: Magnesium + Dilute Hydrochloric Acid ----->Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) -----> MgCl2 (aq) + H2 These are the temperatures I am going...
