Chemistry Coursework Nick Jones Rates of Reaction Aim The aim of the coursework is to investigate the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium. I have chosen to investigate this by looking at the amount of hydrogen produced and time taken. My chosen variable to investigate this further is the concentration of the hydrochloric acid, and if this affects the rate of reaction and by how much. Background Knowledge - Collision Theory In order for magnesium and hydrochloric acid to react, their molecules must collide with enough energy so a reaction can occur. The reaction that occurs is as follows: Equation : Mg + 2HCL --> MgCl2 + H2 Magnesium + Hydrochloric --> Magnesium + Hydrogen Acid Chloride One molar strength hydrochloric acid has half of the amount of atoms than two molar strength hydrochloric acid has; therefore collisions of the particles occur twice as often. Another factor which is included in collision theory is that of...
