How does changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid affect its rate of reaction with magnesium? Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find out how changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid will affect its rate of reaction with magnesium. The rate of a chemical reaction is the time it takes for the reactants to react. I.e. in this experiment I will be monitoring how long it will take for magnesium to react in different concentrations of hydrochloric acid. Explaining chemical reactions In order for a chemical reaction to occur, the following needs to take place:> The particles involved need to collide with each other.> The collision needs to have sufficient energy called activation energy.> Particles have to be in the correct orientation (right way round). There are four factors which affect the rate of reaction between two chemical reactants. 1. Concentration: Increasing the concentration of a reactant, increases the rate of reaction. This is because,...
