Chemistry Sc1- The Rate of Reaction Between HCl and Mg Aim To investigate the affect on the rate of reaction by changing a factor of the experiment. Introduction When hydrochloric acid and magnesium react, the hydrochloric acid will dissolve the magnesium and produce hydrogen gas. All chemical reactions involve reactants which when mixed together may react to leave a product. In this case, the reactants are magnesium and hydrochloric acid. The reaction occurs when the magnesium is dropped into the hydrochloric acid. The equation for this experiment is: Magnesium (s) + Hydrochloric acid (aq) › Magnesium Chloride (aq) + Hydrogen (g) Mg + 2HCl › MgCl2 + H2 The magnesium will react with hydrochloric acid, because it is higher in the reactivity series that hydrogen. When the two chemicals react, a displacement reaction will take place and the magnesium will displace the hydrogen in the hydrochloric acid forming magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. Therefore, the products...
