Year 11 Science Investigation (Chemistry) The effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid Aim: The aim of this experiment is to determine whether the temperature affects the rate of reaction between magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid. To do this, I will cool or heat up hydrochloric acid at different temperatures (not above 60ºC) and time the reaction between magnesium ribbon and the acid. I will then calculate the rate of the reaction. Introduction: In the reaction between magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid, the acid will react with the magnesium to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. The equation for this reaction is: Magnesium + Hydrochloric Acid = Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Mg(s) + 2HCl (aq) = MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) Chemical reactions can only happen when the reactant particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) collide but not all collisions are successful in forming products. This is...
