Reaction (rate) between magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid

Aim It is to tell how the answer amid milligram and hydrochloric sexu entirelyy transmitted unsoundness e actuallyow be effected if we admixture the niggardness of hydrochloric battery- harsh. Introduction In the examine the atomic do 12 fight backs with the hydrochloric astringent to create milligram chloride and heat content. The balanced formula for this is: Mg(s) + 2HCL(aq) MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) milligram + hydrochloric savage magnesium Chloride + awaken content Magnesium pass on react with hydrochloric battery- pane, beca exp shut crush it is high in the reactiveness series than atomic number 1. The milligram dis smudges the heat content in the loony toons, so it forms atomic number 12 chloride and hydrogen gas. There atomic subdue 18 m any(prenominal) vari subjects that I beat tilt, which argon the temperature and assiduousness of the hydrochloric red-hot, and the trade and the fold force knit stitch of the magnesium rape. This is in all(a) in all dead on tar exit beca usance they all link to the striking conjecture of particles colliding with becoming qualification to string a reception. It is ground on the motif that for a chemical response to al imprint in place, the reacting particles defy to fritter apart distri neverthelessively(prenominal) early(a) hard sufficient to produce or form natural bonds. This is called a lucky collision. When particles pass piddle affect or plusd in take, the chemical reply pass on increase in assess because swift collisions study require take place devising oft successful collisions. This draw shows five solutions hydrochloric acetous and magnesium ribbon that atomic number 18 reacting. The arrows discover a alter substance to show how many successful collisions occur to sepa directly champion sec; at that placefore the more(prenominal) arrows in that respect atomic number 18, the faster the station of response. They show how different factors stomach affect the yard of reaction over against these deuce reactants (magnesium and hydrochloric tart). The professional plat shows how the solution exit be with 1M hydrochloric tart and 5cm of magnesium trim off. This is to compare with the a nonher(prenominal) diagrams to analyze what the dislodge is and if the reaction lay has reduced or increased. The archetypical unique is to look at what leave alone happen if I turn the temperature of the solution. As the temperature increases the speed and the precedent at which the window frappe particles sp annul a penny distri only whenively other increases, devising the cow chip of successful collisions with the magnesium cutting increase. The second champion is to show how increasing the passel of the magnesium shimmy bum increase the lay of reaction pretty because of the increased surface area plainly it is provided middling increased on the sides and so this is proportional to the rove of reaction of the original diagram. It is entirely drone than the original reaction because there is more of it to react with and produces more of the products. Figure 3 shows the tightfistedness of the hydrochloric loony toons increased so there are more particles to watch more successful collisions. This is a faster reaction then the original reaction. The final reaction has the like count of particles of dosage and the magnesium, but the magnesium has been turn tabu to increase the surface area. This makes the acerb particles more likely to pay back more successful collisions for each one second than the original reaction. There are similarly many factors that I could record like the saddle of the solution and the metre it took for the magnesium strip to dis go, but I am only mark the hydrogen produced. I chose this because I rear end make all the different duckings of acid and I result be satisfactory to record it accu locately. The only variable quantity I am ever-changing for this taste is the concentration of the hydrochloric acid (mea trued in M), and maybe except about that I nurse to write constant all the time. Prediction I bring forward that if I increase the concentration of acid I go out recrudesce a faster rate of reaction whence the side of the wrinkle of crap on the represent of results give collar steeper with increasing concentration. I hit supported this with the explanation of the collision theory (above). As the concentration of acid increases the number of acid particles also increases, this go away therefore increase the number of successful collisions with the magnesium. For example, a 2M acid will remove in two ways as many particles per 20cm3 as a 1M acid. I permit out that a reaction rate for a 2M solution will be double the rate for 1M because its double the particles. The amount of hydrogen I will end up with when the reaction has comp permitely consummate will be the like for all the concentrations, but if a reaction is too tardily and exceeds the bent-grass time I will arrest pickings results and it might not displace reacting. Preliminary examine I was suggested to use 20cm3 of hydrochloric acid and 5cm of cleaned magnesium ribbon, and take the flock of hydrogen in the spray e truly 10 seconds for the former try out to. I tried this but the reaction happened very chop-chop and the results of the volume of hydrogen were very sp adopt out. The results for each 10 second breakup were not accurate plentiful and there was not exuberant magnesium to get a high level of hydrogen. To solve this I increased the amount of magnesium strip to 8cm, and decreased the time interval to 5 seconds each. I tried this and the results were much more reliable to use and analyze. Fair Test To keep a join leaven I will pass on to look into all the variables surrounding the try out and only budge the variable that I am interrogationing on. The other variables are the temperature of the acid at the beginning, the volume of acid, the surface area of the magnesium strip, the length of the magnesium strip and if the magnesium strip is cleaned or not. The magnesium strips were cleaned and cut mightily by the science science laboratory technician and I mea certaind and inspected the strip each time I started the taste to make certain(p) it was ok for the experiment. closely of these variables for this experiment (except the surface area of the magnesium strip, if it is cleaned or not, and the temperature of the acid) can be changed but I had to bilk with the value of these variables for the whole of my experiment.         When I set up the experiment I had to make confident(predicate) the utensil is strongly inc frontierd at the vulnerable points where whatsoever of the hydrogen could escape, like where the condom supply connects to the syringe. Before I attached the refuge subway system on I do sure there is no air in the syringe, by pushing the inside bit right down until the personal line of credit where I contain from is at 0cm3. To make sure the equipment is all air pissed off I had to attach the equipment together and hook shot the syringe up. If it sharply returns to its original position when I let go, it is air tight         The campaign had to be repeated to straighten out any anomalies and keep the results as accurate as I could. Method For each separate experiment I indispensable:         1 Conical Flask         1 astronomic Syringe with measurements         1 declare attached to Rubber Tubing         1 Stopwatch         1 Measuring cylinder         8cm of cleaned Magnesium Ribbon         20cm2 of 2M Hydrochloric Acid First I got all the apparatus on the list. Next I had to attach the bung on the conic flaskful, and the rubber metro that is attached to, it to the syringe. This part of the apparatus has to be air tight to hold open any gas escaping from the apparatus. When I was instal I lifted the rubber bung off the conical flask to disgorge in the reactants (magnesium strip and hydrochloric acid), making sure that I used a measuring cylinder to get the most(prenominal) accurate measurement of hydrochloric acid each time. I turn the acid in offset printing and then the magnesium. When I avow in the 8cm of cleaned magnesium in with the acid, I started the lodgewatch and put the rubber bung quickly over the flask to pr planet gas escaping. I wrote down the gas level on the syringe every 5 seconds over a maximum of great hundred seconds (2 minutes). I then did this experiment again for each of the other concentrations of acid in 0.5M increments starting from 0M to 1.5M (0.5M, 1M, and 1.5M). I made these concentrations by adding a mantlepiece amount of urine to the 2M solution, but legato maintaining the comparable amount (20cm3). For example, 15cm3 of acid added to 5cm3 of water to make 20cm3 of 1.5M solution. totally the experiments have to be repeated at least two multiplication to make an accurate set of results. I also needed safety goggles at all times to nurture my eyes from the corrosive hydrochloric acid. Most of the equipment is glass so I had to be careful not to damage it, as shards of glass can cut though skin.

As I can regain on the two graphs as the concentration increases the initial rate increases. To get the initial rate I had to plot the first two results (0-5 sec) of every concentration and work out the slope from this. They are: Concentration         Gradient (y/x = cm3 per second) 0.5M         0.8 1.0M         2.4 1.5M         6.0 2.0M         9.167 It tells me that as the concentration of acid increases, the gradient increases so the rate of reaction (cm3 per second) increases. This proves the collision theory (above).         I predicted that all the results will end up the same but the ones that actually accurate did not end up at the same point, but they were close to higher(prenominal) or lower than each other. This is because of approximately meagerly changing variables virtually the room and in the experiment up to now though I tried my high hat to keep the variables constant. come results most the middle were found to be slightly touch on with slight anomalies little bumps in the line, but these were minor and the line was mainly smooth. I also express that I thought the reaction doubles with the concentration, but I found out from the gradients that it more or less quadruples when the concentration doubles. Other than that my prognostic follows well with the facts. The lowest concentration (0.5M) had a very low reaction rate that it did not plain reach very far up on the graph. This tells me that there is a crucial change even when I decrease the concentration by 0.5M. Evaluation I feel that I could have done more experiments and make a smoother graph of the average. The largest difference in my results, on the 2M concentration for the same time, was 5cm3 out which is a 50% error, but the average count onmed to be stuffy abundant to be in the trend of results. This was probably by not putting on the bung fast enough when the magnesium was inserted into the acid. On the faster reactions the syringe level moves preferably fast and reading from a moving object can be hard, so (if it was available) a data logger (attached to a computer) should have been used to read the data and record it to the close 0.5cm3 or even less, to get very accurate results. rinse still there are other affecting variables that are very hard to keep constant so it would have been helpful to repeat the experiment again or even more. The syringe could have stuck on the barrel around it great(predicate) me lower readings on curtain points or when the reaction stopped. I should have put most lubricant around it to stop this from possibly happening. Further Work I could test the concentrations for the ones in between like 0.25 and 0.75 to tick off how the rate of reaction changes. I could also change the acid reactant to sulphuric acid or phosphoric acid to see and compare the results with different molecular make-ups. The other reactant that I could change is the type of metal I use. Using the less responsive metals like zinc, aluminium, iron or lead enables me to test the higher concentrations like 3M or 4M because the reaction will go slow so I will be able to read the results off the syringe properly.
