Aim How does temperature affect the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium? Background A reaction is when two different particles collide together to cause a reaction to make another product. A reaction is measuring in rate, so the higher the rate the quicker the reaction. The rate is measure in whole long the reaction takes rather than the amount of product produced. This is the equation for the test im going to do: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) MgCl (aq) + H (g) There are different factors the increase the rate of a reaction here are some: Concentration: Increasing the concentration increases the rate of the reaction because there are more particles in the same volume so greater chance of collision. Surface area Increasing the surface area increases more particles that are exposed to be collided with so it has a greater chance of collision. Temperature The temperature increases the energy the particles have to vibrate so therefore the particles have...
