Rate of reaction Aim: I aim to plan and conduct an investigation to observe how different concentrations of dilute hydrochloric acid affect the rate of reaction in the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium acid. The rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place. Prediction: I predict that as I increase the concentration of the dilute hydrochloric acid, the rate at which the reaction gives off the required amount of hydrogen gas will decrease. If I were to double the concentration of dilute hydrochloric acid from 1 molar to 2 molar, the time that it takes for the said amount of hydrogen gas to be produced will be halved, there fore the rate of reaction will double. Linking the prediction to theory: My prediction is based upon the collision theory. This is the theory that because particles in liquids and gases move quickly, in a reaction, if there is a high...
