GCSE Chemistry coursework Investigating the effect of concentration on rate of reaction. The aim of this courswork investigation is to find out the factors which affect the rates of reaction between Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid. This reaction tends to be easily visible because Hydrogen (H) is produced in the reaction forming bubbles. Heat and Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) are also produced during the reaction. The reaction between Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid continues until all the Magnesium has reacted to form Magnesium Chloride untill there is no Magnesium left. Word equation: Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid = Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen. Equation: Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) = MgCl²(aq) + H²(g) This is baisicaly how the reaction takes place. Magnesium will react with Hydrochloric acid, because Hydrochloric acid is higher in the reactivity series then Hydrogen. When the two chemicals react a displacement reaction shoul take place and the Magnesium should displace the Hydrogen in the...
