Chemical reactions can only happen when the reactant particles collide, but most collisions are not successful in forming product molecules. The reactant molecules must collide with enough energy to break the original bonds so those new bonds in the product molecules can be formed. The rate at which the products are formed at is called the rate of reaction. I have leant that if, the factors that affect the rate of reaction, (temperature, surface area, pressure, using a catalyst or concentration). Aim: My aim is to investigate what factors affect the rate of reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. The factor that I will be focusing on is the concentration. Reaction Equation: Mg(s) +2HCl(aq) MgCl2(aq) +H2(g) Introduction: There are varieties of different variables you can use, like, the temperature, the concentration; the surface area and weather to use a catalyst or not these all affect the rate of reaction. * The effect of temperature...
