Investigating the effect of changing concentration on the rate of reaction between Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid Navina Kurup Introduction Background Information Magnesium is a light, shiny grey metallic element, symbol Mg, atomic number 12, found in group two in the periodic table. It is quite reactive giving vigorous reactions towards acids. It is one of the alkaline earth metals, and the lightest of the commonly used metals. It is used in alloys, flash photography, flares, fireworks and flash bulbs because it burns vigorously in air with a bright white light. Magnesium reacts with steam to release hydrogen and it also burns in carbon dioxide gas. Concentration is one of the factors that affects the rate of a reaction. The more concentrated the reactants, the greater the rate of reaction will be. This is because increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the number of collisions between particles and, therefore, increases the rate of reaction. Magnesium and...
