Introduction The aim of this investigation is to find out what effects the rate of reaction. The reaction I will be studying is: Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) Rate of reaction is how fast a reaction goes in a given interval of time. The number of collisions in a given interval of time affects the rate of reaction. In order for a reaction to be successful, collisions between two particles must transfer energy. If not enough energy is transferred the particles will bounce off one another without the atoms rearranging into new substances. There are many factors that affect the rate of reaction: Temperature Increasing the temperature of a chemical transfers energy to it. This energy gives the particles kinetic energy. They will move faster, therefore collisions will become more frequent and effective, and will then lead...
