Rate of Reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Magnesium Ribbon In this experiment I am going react magnesium ribbon with hydrochloric acid. During this reaction the hydrochloric acid will dissolve the magnesium ribbon and produce hydrogen gas. Magnesium with react with hydrochloric acid because it is higher in the reactivity than hydrogen. When these two react a displacement reaction will take place and the magnesium will take the place of hydrogen in hydrochloric acid forming magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. Variables * Concentration of acid - this will affect the rate of reaction because if there is a higher concentration of acid per 50cm³. Thus meaning more collision per second and so more successful collisions. * Surface area of magnesium ribbon - the greater the surface area of magnesium ribbon the bigger the area that the acid has to collide with. This means that bigger surface area will mean more collisions per second so more...
