To Investigate how changing the concentration Affects the Rate of Reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Magnesium Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate how changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid will have on the rate of reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. Background Information "What is 'rate of reaction'? The rate of a reaction is the speed of the reaction. It is not "how much" of a product is made, but instead "how quickly" a reaction takes place Chemistry for You There are five variables that affect the rate of reaction, and could be changed throughout the experiment. They are: * Concentration * Catalyst * Surface area * Temperature * Pressure * The size of the particles Concentration Concentration will only be discussed because the investigation is solely investigating the concentration of hydrochloric acid and magnesium. The other factors are not going to be investigated, and therefore do not need to be looked into with detail. As concentration is the main...
