The rate of reaction of metals with acid Aim: To determine the order of reaction and the activation energy of the reaction between Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid. To do this I will have to carry out two procedures; one for the order of reaction and one for the activation energy. Background knowledge Rate of reaction In a reaction that takes place between two substances X and Y it is possible to follow the reaction by observing how quickly substance X is used up. The scientific way to see how the rate changes, would be by changing the concentration. The rate of reaction is usually measured as the change in concentration of a reaction species with time. The units of rate= mol dm-3 s-1 Concentration per time Order of reaction For a reaction: A+B+C Products The order of reaction shows how the reaction rate is affected by the concentrations of A, B and C. If the order...
