Does Increasing the Temperature change the Rate of Reaction between Zinc Metal and Hydrochloric Acid? The equation I will be using is: - Zinc + Hydrochloric Acid Hydrogen + Zinc Chloride Zn + HCl H + ZnCl The reaction is a displacement reaction. Aim: - I aim to find out what the relationship is between temperature and Rate of reaction. If I increase the temperature, will it increase the rate of reaction? Prediction: - I predict that as I increase the temperature of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) and Zinc Metal(Zn) there will be an increase in productive collisions resulting in more Hydrogen being produced. I also predict that as you increase the temperature by ten, the volume of Hydrogen produced will double. Temperature increases the rate of reaction. In a low temperature solution there is not much activation energy values which result in fewer productive collisions meaning bond breakage is less frequent. At low temperatures the...
