Aim - To investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction

- To investigate the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium

Prediction

1) -I predict that the higher the concentration of hydrochloric acid the faster the time will be for the magnesium to dissolve.

2) -I predict that the higher the molar of hydrochloric acid, the more hydrogen gas will be given off.

3) -I predict that the higher the concentration of hydrochloric acid the faster the rate of reaction. This will therefore mean that the rate of reaction will be faster.

4) - I predict that when I double the concentration, I would expect the rate of reaction to double with the concentration.

Reasons

Rates of Reaction measures different reaction rates and tells us things that affect the speed of a reaction.

Seven factors that affect how fast a reaction takes place are:

- Temperature

- Catalyst

- Pressure

- PH

- Surface area

- Concentration

- Light
