INVESTIGATION IN THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE RATE OF A REACTION Aim=To find out what factors affect the rate of reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid, then investigate one of them in an experiment. Background Knowledge=A rate of reaction is how fast a reaction is between more than two reactants. They react with their particles, when they collide together they often do so with such a speed and force that they reach an 'activation energy', the energy needed for the materials to react. We know from past work and experiments, and also from official theories, that there are four main factors that affect the rate of reaction; these are categorised in the Collision Theory. ( this work was taken from CGP chemistry GCSE revision guide and Chemistry Counts textbook)) 1) Size of particles=When two materials are reacting together they can only do so with the area on the surface of the particle, obviously called...
