2) The temperature of the reaction.

3) Concentration of the hydrochloric acid.

In the experiment we use hydrochloric acid which reacts with the

magnesium to form magnesium chloride. The hydrogen ions give

hydrochloric acid its acidic properties, so that all solutions of

hydrogen chloride and water have a sour taste; corrode active metals,

forming metal chlorides and hydrogen; turn litmus red; neutralise

alkalis; and react with salts of weak acids, forming chlorides and the

Magnesium, symbol Mg, silvery white metallic element that is

relatively unreactive. In group 2 (or IIa) of the periodic table,

magnesium is one of the alkaline earth metals. The atomic number of

Magnesium(s) + Hydrochloric acid(aq) = Magnesium Chloride(aq) +

In the reaction when the magnesium hits 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

this will also increase the reaction rate.

· At high temperatures the acid around the magnesium starts to starts to
