The effect of concentration on a reaction rate Aim: In this experiment I have been offered a choice to investigate absolutely anything that I desire to see the diverse effects therefore I have decided to investigate the concentration of the hydrochloric acid with the magnesium chip. I will be altering the concentration of the acid to explore the rates at which it reacts with magnesium, and to see at which concentration more quantity of hydrogen …showed first 75 words of 2373 total…

Additional work could be carried out, is to repeat the experiment using, a wider range of concentrations. The investigation could also be extended to investigate other factors affecting the rate of reaction such as catalysts, temperature of the acid or particle size of the magnesium.
