How Temperature affects the rate of reaction in the reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid Aim I am trying to find out what affect heat has on the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium. Introduction There are a number of things that affect rates of reaction, such as temperature, concentration of acid, catalysts, agitation, surface area, and pressure in experiments. I have chosen to investigate temperature, which will be the only variable that I will change. I'll control the temperature by the heating the acid on a hot plate, and constantly monitoring it with a thermometer. As soon as the acid reaches the correct temperature a 5cm strip of magnesium shall be placed in the acid and the bung put in the top of the tube. Simultaneously, a clock will be started to time how quickly the glass syringe fills. I will measure the amount of gas produced in equal time intervals such as...
