AIM: I will investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. Also to find out how much and how quick hydrogen is produced. Magnesium, symbol Mg; silvery white metallic element that is relatively reactive. In group 2 of the periodic table, magnesium is one of the alkaline earth metals. The atomic number of magnesium is 12. The rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of how fast the reaction …showed first 75 words of 2282 total…

I also obtained information from several science textbooks such as 'Chemistry for you' by Lawrie Ryan and 'The Essentials of Edexcel' edited by Mary James, I also obtained some information from the Internet using sites such as 'BBC.co.uk/ learning' and 'www.s-cool.co.uk'.
