An investigation into the rate of reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. Aim The aim of this experiment is to see how a variable will alter the rate of reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. Magnesium is comparitvely highly reactive. It burns in oxygen with a white light and reacts quickly and vigorously with hydrochloric acid. The magnesium bubbles and fizzes in the hydrochloric acid. The reaction is an exothermic reaction and lasts for only a short period of time. The gas given off from the reaction is hydrogen, and a small amount of magnesium chloride solution is left in the beaker. The word and symbol equation for the reaction: Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid Magnesium chloride + Hydrogen Mg + 2Hcl MgCl2 + H2 Solid Liquid Liquid Gas Preliminary Work I have carried out some preliminary work prior to this investigation, involving rates of reactions. From these I found out about the collision theory. More particles of...
