How the concentration of an acid affects the rate of reactionPrediction==========For a reaction to take place there must be enough energy for the particles collide and react. So, as the concentration increases, the rate of the reaction will also increase because there are more acidic particles in the solution for the magnesium to collide with and react. Therefore I think the speed of the reaction will increase as the concentration increases, for example 1M will react twice as fast as 0.5M. Piano====I will set up the apparatus as shown in the following diagram. I will react magnesium with sulfuric acid to see if the concentration of an acid affects the reaction time. I will be using molars between 0M and 1M for my initial try-in. I will measure the rate of the reaction using an aconical cylinder with a rubber stopper and a gas syringe. Then I will time how long it takes to fill up to 100cc of gas. I will repeat each concentration 3 times, then take an average so I get the most accurate results, I will repeat any anomalies I get so I get the final results as accurate as possible. I will be using five different concentrations so that I can collect a good range of data. Correct Test ========= I will only have one variable so I can connect all the changes in the experiment to that one thing: in this test I am changing the concentration of the acid. However, I also have to monitor many other factors that could skew my results. · Surface Area: This would speed up the reaction rate by increasing the chance of collision if the size is enlarged or decrease the chance if the size is reduced. So I will use the same magnesium ribbon during the experiment. · Temperature: If the temperature increases, the amount of collisions will be greater and more violent because the higher the temperature, the higher the energy of the particles.
