HOW DOES ACID CONCENTRATION AFFECT THE RATE OF REACTION OF MAGNESIUM WITH DILUTE HYDROCHLORIC ACID? -Chemistry Coursework- HOW DOES ACID CONCENTRATION AFFECT THE RATE OF REACTION OF MAGNESIUM WITH DILUTE HYDROCHLORIC ACID? PLANNING: Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the affect that concentration has on the rate of reaction between magnesium and dilute hydrochloric acid. Background Information: In a chemical reaction, there are two key components. The initial components, the reactants, are known as the starting chemicals. The resulting components are the products, as they are the chemicals made during a chemical reaction. When Magnesium (Mg) is placed into dilute Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), it reacts to form Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) and Hydrogen gas (H2). The balanced symbol equation for this reaction is as follows: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) › MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) Magnesium (Mg) is in group 2 of the Periodic Table of Elements. All elements in this group have two...
