An experiment to show the rate of reaction between Magnesium ribbon & Hydrochloric acid. Aim: To find out the rate in which magnesium ribbon dissolves in different molars of hydrochloric acid, and which factors affect the rate of reaction. Prediction: The 'Collision Theory' says that particles can only react if they collide with enough energy for the reaction to take place. As well as the collision theory there are also other factors that will effect how quickly and effectively the reactions take place. The four factors that effect the rate of a chemical reaction are: TEMPERATURE, CONCENTRATION OF ACID, SURFACE AREA OF THE REACTANT and USE OF A CATALYST. Temperature The higher the temperature of the solution, the faster the rate of reaction, and vice versa. This is because as the solution heats up the particles gain energy and begin to move faster and with more energy. This causes more successful collisions per minute and consequently...
