Mark Scott 10BI/10X Rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium ribbon Introduction In this investigation I will be testing the effect of concentration of acid in the rate of reaction between magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid. In the reaction hydrogen gas will be given off and will leave magnesium chloride (liquid) All chemical reactions involve reactants which when mixed may cause a chemical reaction which will make products. In this investigation the reactants are hydrochloric acid and magnesium. The reaction will take place when the magnesium is dropped into the hydrochloric acid. The products, which are formed as it says above, are hydrogen gas and magnesium chloride. The symbol equation for this is below. Mg + 2HCl MgCl2 + H2 Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Prediction My prediction is that the higher the concentration of the acid then the higher the rate of the reaction will be. I think this because of the rules stated...
