To Investigate the Reaction Rate of Magnesium with Hydrochloric Acid Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid Magnesium Oxide + Hydrogen. Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) Factors which affect the rate of this reaction: Temperature of acid - The higher the temperature, the faster the particles in the acid will move as they have more energy. This results in more successful collisions, much faster than at a lower temperature. Concentration of acid - The more particles there are in the same volume, the more successful collisions there will be with the magnesium. Volume of Acid - Increasing only the volume does not change the reaction rate as the concentration is sill the same, and so is the amount of magnesium. So by only increasing the volume, nothing will change, its only if you add more magnesium, does the result change. Surface Area of Magnesium - A greater surface area provides more area for collisions to...
