Answer:
To investigate the effect of changing the conditions on the rate of a reaction.
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g
The volume of hydrogen gas produced can be measured using a gas syringe.
Method:-
- Support a gas syringe with a stand, boss and clamp.
- Using a measuring cylinder, add 50 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid to a conical flask.
- Add a 3 cm piece of magnesium ribbon to the flask. Immediately connect the gas syringe and start a stop clock.
- Record the volume of gas produced every 5 seconds. Continue timing until no more gas is given off.
- When the reaction is complete, clean the apparatus as directed by your teacher.
- Repeat steps 1 to 5 with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid.
