Hannah Greenslade Y11 Coursework What affects the rate of reaction between magnesium and acid? Plan When magnesium and hydrochloric acid are combined, a chemical reaction occurs in which the acid particles collide with the magnesium ones. Energy is released in the form of hydrogen gas. There are a number of variables which can be controlled to change the rate of the reaction The variables which I could investigate are: * The Concentration of the Acid,- the weaker the acid the slower the reaction will take place as there will be less acid particles to react with the magnesium * The Surface Area of the Magnesium,-the more magnesium there is, the more particles there are and therefore the more hydrogen it is possible to produce * Heating the Liquid,- heating would probably speed up the rate of reaction as the acid particles would move faster * Using a Catalyst,- catalysts speed up the rate of reaction The...
