I am going to vary the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the reaction between itself and magnesium metal, and investigate how concentration affects the rate of reaction. Magnesium + hydrochloric magnesium + hydrogen Metal acid chloride sol. gas Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) Other variables for this reaction could include: * Varying the surface area of magnesium metal. * Temperature. * Volume of acid. * Mass of the magnesium. * (Pressure.) You could also measure the rate of reaction by measuring the volume of Hydrogen gas produced. Basic method. For the proposed procedure, I will used a fixed length of the magnesium ribbon, (1cm), and a sustained volume of acid, (50cc) for each experiment. However, for each experiment, I will vary the concentration of the hydrochloric acid. I have two set concentrations of acid available to me: 1M and 2M. To obtain more than two results, I will dilute the 1 and 2 Molar acids down using distilled water....
