Chemistry Coursework How Does The Concentration of An Acid Effect The Rate Of Reaction ? Aim In this experiment we hope to find out what effect increasing the concentration of an acid has on the rate of the reaction. The rate of a chemical experiment is measured by how fast the reaction takes place. We will do this by using dilute hydrochloric acid and pieces of magnesium ribbon and seeing how long it takes a piece of ribbon to completely dissolve. The reaction that will take place is as follows: _ Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid> Magnesium chloride + Hydrogen Mg + 2HCl> MgCl3 + H2 Apparatus * Stop watch * Pipette * Beaker * Test tubes * Measuring cylinder * IM Hydrochloric acid * Water * 1cm magnesium ribbon * Test tube tack * Goggles Prediction I predict that if you increase the concentration of the acid the time taken for the magnesium ribbon to disappear will decrease. Also I predict that...
