Rates of reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid when using different concentrations
Rates of reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid when using different concentrations
One way of making the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid more effective or less effective would be to use higher or lower concentrations of either the magnesium or hydrochloric acid. Temperature and surface area can also make a reaction faster or slower. A catalyst can make a reaction faster without actually taking part in the reaction.
A high concentration makes a reaction faster. A reaction is faster with high concentrations as there is more of each particle. The more particles there are the higher the chance of a collision. The more collisions the faster the reaction. A reaction is slower with low concentrations as there is less of each particle. The smaller the number
How temperature effects the rate of a reaction
A high temperature makes a rate of a reaction faster as the higher the heat is the more energy particles have to move. The energy from the heat transfers to the particles. This makes the particles move faster. This gives a better chance of a collision. This will also give a better chance of a successful collision as the particles have more energy.
