An Investigation to Investigate the Effect of Varying Concentration on the Reaction between Magnesium Ribbon (Mg) and Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) This investigation is being carried out to discover how the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid (HCL), combined with Magnesium Ribbon (Mg), diluted with Water (H20) will affect the rate of reaction. The rate of reaction will be measured by the amount of hydrogen gas (H2) released. This will be measured every 10 seconds during the experiment. Each time the experiment is conducted, the amount of HCL provided for the reaction to occur will be varied. The chemical equation for this investigation is: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) Also in words as: Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid --> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Preliminary Before I conducted the real experiment, I conducted a preliminary experiment. This is where I varied the concentration and the length of the magnesium ribbon. The aim of this was to...
