Laura Tidbury Chemistry Course Work Introduction We are experimenting how magnesium reacts with acid, and what affects the rate of reaction. There are several things that can be altered to change the speed (rate) of reaction. Some of which are: * Concentration of acid. * Surface area of magnesium. * Temperature of the acid. * Catalyst. * Volume of acid. I plan to investigate the effect of concentration of acid, in the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and magnesium ribbon. The rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of how fast the chemical reaction takes place. I intend to change the concentration of acid and investigate how the reaction changes. The rest of the variables should be kept constant. * I assume the room temperature will be kept constant as the experiment is conducted at room temperature. * The volume of acid will always be constant, as I will use 100ml of hydrochloric acid each time. * I assume the surface area of...
