Factors Affecting the Rate of Reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Magnesium I will be looking at how the concentration of hydrochloric acid affects the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium ribbon. I will need to time how fast this gas is produced to see how the rate of the reaction changes. The independent variable, the one that will change, therefore has to be the concentration of hydrochloric acid. The controlled variables are the ones which need to the kept the same to prevent unreliable results coming forth during the experiment. Collision Theory A chemical reaction can only occur between particles when they collide. Particles may be atoms, ions or molecules. There is a minimum amount of energy which colliding particles need in order to react with each other. If the colliding particles have less than this minimum energy, they will just bounce off each other and no reaction will occur. This minimum...
