Title: Investigating the effects of changing the concentration of an acid on the rate of reaction between HCl and Magnesium.
Aim: In this experiment we are going to see the effects of using three different concentrations of HCl when added to Magnesium metal on the rate of reaction.
Hypothesis: If the concentration of the acid increased in reaction between HCl (the acid) and magnesium, then the rate of reaction will increase.
Scientific background:
For many reactions involving liquids or gases, increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the rate of reaction. As reactant concentration increases, the frequency

2- Amount of Magnesium (0.5 g) 3- Amount of acid HCl (20 ml)

Procedure:

Materials: a- Water Bath b- Droppers. c- Electrical balance (±0.01g). d- Magnesium (0.9 g) e- HCl (60ml). f- 3 Glass containers. g- Syringe. h- Stopwatch. i- Marker.
Method:
1- Get all materials needed. 2- Measure on the electrical balance 3 amounts 0.3 g of Magnesium. 3- Use the syringe to measure 20ml of HCl added to the flask in the water bath after adding the Magnesium in the flask. 4- Start the stopwatch and measure the amount of H2 produces each 5 seconds. 5- Write down the results you get at the end of 10 minutes. 6- Do the same for the other 2 concentrations. Reaction time (seconds)± 0.01 | Volume of H2 gas produced by 0.5 M concentrated sulfuric acid (ml)± 5 | Volume of H2 gas produced by 0.6 M concentrated sulfuric acid (ml)± 5 | Volume of H2 gas produced by 0.7 M concentrated sulfuric acid (ml)± 5 | 0.00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5.00 | 5 | 15 | 20 | 10.00 | 17 | 25 | 50 | 15.00 | 25 | 40 | 83 | 20.00 | 30 | 60 | 100 | 25.00 | 37 | 75 | 125 | 30.00 | 40 | 100 | 130 | 35.00 | 65 | 115 | 140 | 40.00 | 80 | 130 | 150 | 45.00 | 85 | 140 | 155

    If the concentration of HCl increases, then the dissolving of magnesium in the solution will occur faster. The decreasing of temperature will cause the magnesium to take longer to dissolve. When using pieces of magnesium as opposed to a strip, it will dissolve faster and lead to a faster reaction time as more surface area is present , and the use of copper will not affect the reaction in any sort of way.…

    In this lab, a magnesium ribbon and HCl are combined in a gas measuring tube. When they are combined they form magnesium chloride and Hydrogen gas. The molar ratio between Mg reacted and H2 produced a 1:1. Thus the number of moles of H2 can be determined if the number of moles of Mg is found. The experimental volume of H2 is found in the experiment and by using the gas laws of both Boyle and Charles. The volume of H2 can be determined…

    I predict that as the concentration of the Hydrochloric acid increases, the time taken for the magnesium to dissolve decreases. So, the higher the concentration of the acid, the faster the reaction between magnesium ribbon and the hydrochloric acid will be. This would be because there were more acid molecules to react with the magnesium ribbon. Increasing the concentration of the reactants will increase the frequency of collisions between the two reactants…

    The mass of the magnesium used is measured before the use in the experiment via an analytical balance. The known amount of magnesium is then reacted with excess hydrochloric acid which causes the magnesium to be the limiting agent in this particular reaction. The amount of HCl used is in excess in order to ensure that the magnesium reacts completely. Hence, the formation of the products , MgCl and H2 are dependant on the amount of magnesium used. By comparing the amount of hydrogen gas produced with the amount of magnesium used, we are able to determine the value of X…
