An investigation to see how Hydrochloric acid reacts with Magnesium to produce Hydrogen gas The aim of the investigation is to see how different concentrations of Hydrochloric acid affect the rate at which hydrogen gas is produced when it is reacted with a strip of magnesium. The rate of a reaction is a measure of change that happens in a single unit of time. When a chemical reaction takes place the particles of the reactants collide. The more often the particles collide the more likely they are to react and so the faster the reaction. The speed at which a reaction takes place can vary and depends on a number of factors: * The surface area of any solid reactants. * The concentration of reactants (including pressure in the case of gases) * The temperature * The presence of a catalyst In this particular investigation an acid and a metal will be reacted to...
