To see how the concentration of hydrochloric acid affects the rate of the chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium metal. When the hydrochloric acid and magnesium react, hydrogen will be given off. There will be a fizzing within the container and it will begin to warm up. Magnesium metal + hydrochloric acid --> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2 My aim is to find out how the concentration of hydrochloric acid affects the rate of the chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium metal. I predict that the higher the concentration of the hydrochloric acid the faster the rate of reaction will be. I believe this will happen because reaction occurs when two reactants particle's, in this case hydrochloric acid and magnesium metal, collide with enough energy to cause a reaction. I predict that the higher the concentration of the hydrochloric acid the faster the rate...
