PLAN. THE AIM: * To find out how different concentrations of HCl affect the rate of the reaction with magnesium. * To compare the rate of the reaction of magnesium in HCl, H2So4 and CH3COOH. * To find the overall order of the reactions. THEORY: When a reaction takes place the particles of the reacting substance must collide with each other and a fixed amount of energy called the activation energy must be reached if the reaction is to take place. If a collision between particles can produce sufficient energy (i.e if they collide fast enough and in the right direction) a reaction will take place. Not all collisions will result in a reaction. A reaction is speeded up if the number of suitable collisions is increased. The rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of how fast a reaction takes place. Some reactions are very fast while others are very slow. The rate of...
