Coursework - Rates of Reaction By Danny Rowe In this investigation I am aiming to find out the effect of acid concentration on the rate of reaction. In a chemical reaction there are four factors that affect how quickly the reaction takes; this is also known as its reaction rate: * Temperature * Concentration * Surface Area * Catalyst The reaction I will be looking at is the reaction between magnesium (Mg) and Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) 2Mg + 2HCl -> 2MgCl + H2 I will not be looking at the effect of temperature because this variable is difficult to control, surface area is very difficult to measure and catalysts would be very expensive, therefore I have decided to do concentration as this is easy to measure and vary. To do this investigation I will get different concentrations of acid and time, using a digital stopwatch how long it takes for the acid to react with the magnesium. This will give me...
