A2 Chemistry Coursework Reactions of Metals & Acids Reema Kohli Section 1: Planning The aim of the investigation is to examine the kinetics involved in the reactions between acids and metals. The investigation focuses on determining if: * The type of acid (strong or weak) and the type of metal have an effect upon the activation energy of a reaction. * The order of the reaction changes as the concentration of the acid is varied. Several methods can be used to follow the reactant, in terms of the rate at which it disappears in the reaction. One approach is to use a colorimeter to measure the light absorbency change. This would be unsuitable for both experiments because both reacting substances do not produce any colour. An alternate approach could be to use dilation. This also would be an unsuitable method to follow the rate of the reaction because the volumes in all the systems do not...
