H/W 15/5/03 The Effects of Hydrochloric Acid on Rates of Reaction Aim: My aim is to find the effect of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) on the rate of reaction, when reacting with magnesium ribbons (Mg). Prediction: I predict that as the concentration of the hydrochloric acid increases, the time taken for the magnesium to disappear decreases. My prediction is that the higher the concentration of the acid then the higher the rate of the reaction will be. I can predict this by linking prediction to theory of 'Reaction rate and concentration.' I predict this because of the collision theory. I know that the higher the concentration of the acid, the greater the number of acid molecules present in that volume. This means that there are more acid molecules colliding with the particles on the surface of the reactant (magnesium) thus increasing the rate of reaction. Therefore, if I double the concentration of the acid from 1M hydrochloric...
