Chemistry Science Coursework Investigating the effect of changing concentration on the rate of a reaction. Introduction Magnesium is a highly reactive metal, in the reactivity series. What I will be investigating in this experiment is to try and find out whether or not there is any correlation between the concentration of the Hydrochloric acid and the rate of reaction. I will be using 5 different concentrations of the acid. A 2cm strip of magnesium will be dropped into the acid solution and the time it takes for the strip to completely disappear will be recorded using a stopwatch. Because this reaction is between an acid and a metal then there will be two main products formed which will be a salt and a gas. In this case the salt produced is Magnesium Chloride and the gas produced is hydrogen. Acid + Metal Salt + Gas Hydrochloric + Magnesium Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Acid This reaction...
