Rates Of Reaction
Beginning of paper
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
What affects the rate of reaction? 1) The surface area of the magnesium. 2)
The temperature of the reaction. 3) Concentration of the hydrochloric acid. 4)
Presence of a catalyst.
In the experiment we use hydrochloric acid which reacts with the magnesium to
form magnesium c ....
Middle of paper
.... the acid when dropped in, it fisses and
then disappears giving of hydrogen as it fisses and it leaves behind a solution
of hydrogen chloride.
The activation energy of a particle is increased with heat. The particles
which have to have the activation energy are those particles which are moving,
in the case of magnesium and hydrochloric acid, it is the hydrochloric acid
particles which have to have the activation energy because they are the ones
that are moving and bombarding the magnesium ....
