Nicola Wright 10C Investigating the factors that affect the rate of a reaction. Aim: To investigate what factors affects the rate of reaction. Introduction: All chemical reactions involve reactants, which may, when mixed, form products. In a trial experiment I looked at a basic reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium ribbon, and observed that the magnesium ribbon, fizzed, before finally dissolving. When we use that equation: Mg + 2HCl - MgCl + H We can see that the products of the reactants magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid are magnesium chloride and hydrogen. This happens because, as magnesium is higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen, it displaces the hydrogen in the hydrochloric acid. The rate of reaction is the speed at which reactants are converted to products for a particular reaction. This table shows all the factors that could affect the rate of reaction: What affects the rate of reaction? How does it affect it? Why does it...
