... AMDG Aaron Mcloughlin 14.01.02 Finding the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction of magnesium ribbon with hydrochloric acid. Planning Introduction The experiment I am carrying out, Is to find the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction. Safety Whilst using acids such as hydrochloric acid, which are corrosive, certain safety aspects should be taken. Safety goggles should be warned to protect eyes from acid. Also when the experiment is taking place, there should be no naked flames as I am using flammable material such as, Hydrogen, and, magnesium. Also when using glass equipment, great care should be taken. Glass can shatter and cause serious injury. Therefore, care must be taken when handling to avoid shattered glass. Equipment 30cm3 hydrochloric acid 0.06g magnesium ribbon Measuring cylinder (50cm3) Conical flask Gas syringe (higher level of accuracy) Electronic stopwatch (measures to 2 d.p) Electronic balance (measures to 2 d.p) Rubber bung Burette (measures to 1 d.p) Equation Magnesium + hydrochloric acid = magnesium chloride +hydrogen.
