2001 YEAR 10 INVESTIGATION CHEMISTRY 'An investigation to discover the effect that temperature has on the rate of reaction.' By Richard Chapman 10/HD set 1 AIM To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction of Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid, whilst also collecting and recording the amount of hydrogen that is released. BACKGROUND A chemical reaction is a process by which atoms or groups of atoms are redistributed, resulting in a change in the molecular composition of substances. An example of a chemical reaction is formation of rust (iron oxide), which is produced when oxygen in the air reacts with iron. The products obtained from a given set of reactants, or starting materials, depend on the conditions under which a chemical reaction occurs. Careful study, however, shows that although products may vary with changing conditions, some quantities remain constant during any chemical reaction. These constant quantities, called the conserved quantities, include the number of each kind of atom...
