Magnesium Ribbon and Hydrochloric Acid

atomic number 12 Ribbon and Hydrochloric AcidGroup membersKiara Anderson, Laura Knott, Jackson Bakerelect factorsmagnesium (Mg) is known as a chemical element with the nuclear number of 12.Hydrochloric cutting (HCL) is a strong, colorless mineral back breaker employ with umpteen purposes.Chosen experimentThe task is to alter and record the polar temperatures when magnesium ribbon is places hydrochloric acid.Research questionsHow will the magnesium ribbon reply to the hydrochloric acid?How quickly will the magnesium ribbon react to the hydrochloric acid at different temperatures?Will it be a slower chemical answer with the folderol bath?Will it crap a quicker reaction with a higher temperature?Background researchMagnesium (Mg) is known as a chemical element with the atomic number of 12. The silvery tweed solid is an abundant element found in the earths crust which was initial discovered in 1755. Today magnesium has many uses for example photography, fireworks, bombs and f lares. Magnesium isnt just used for entertainment it is also a key nourishing for health. Due to the human body it is important to a normal arise structure, magnesium is essential to disease prevention, low magnesium levels have been joined to nigh diseases such as osteoporosis, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, clogged arteries and center disease.Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is a strong, colorless mineral acid used with many purposes. This substance is produced in the stomach of the human it has the job to break low-spirited proteins. It is located and used in many ways for example it is inhibit in toilet cleaners and used for clean the toilet.Temperature is a mensuration of the warmth or coldness of an object or substance with quote to some standard value. The temperature of two systems is the same when the systems are in thermic equilibrium. (Temperature. Dictionary.com. Dictionary.com, n.d. Web. 12 Feb. 2017.) Temperature can have many chemical reactions on experiments or natural substances. Different temperatures can either increase or return the festinate of the particles in liquids or gases, causation particles to collect more energy, and to bump around and creating chemical reactions when temperature is increased.AimTo test the differences between different temperatures and how quick the magnesium ribbon reacts to the hydrochloric acidhypothesisthe higher the temperature the quicker or larger the chemical reaction is when a magnesium ribbon is drop in the beaker of 25ml of hydrochloric acid. Also when the experiment is set in the ice bath, the reaction eon will be much slower than the other temperature sets.equipment/materials5 x 80ml beakerHydrochloric acid 15x 25ml = 375ml15 x magnesium ribbon3x ice (ice bath)3x ice cream container3x heat pad1x thermometer3x heat matMethodin the beginning anything was started, the whole method was reread and memorised so there was an understanding of the experiment. undermentioned the correct PPE was equipped so if there was an break there was some protection, the equipment that was essential to equip wasClosed in shoesApron sentry go goggles/classesGlovesHair netOnce the PPE was suited up, all the equipment was chequered to make sure there was nothing missing, so the experiment didnt subscribe to be paused just to get more equipment.The experiment was started by offset unpacking the equipment and tprepare the hydrochloric acid by putting 25 ml in to each one beaker, then prospect up the heat plate to the right setting to heat the hydrochloric acid to 80 C. once the heat plate bump into its aiming temperature the beaker was placed on it till it take out the temperature of 80 C when it hit 80 C exactly, a piece of magnesium was placed in the beaker with the chemical reaction being recorded by both a timer and writing down what happened.The same steps happened with the other temperatures, which were 60 C, 40 C, the room temperature (22 C) and the ice bath (6 C).Resultstemp erature1st testsecond test3rd testobservationsIce bath=6 C50353-8 C51031+ 55731-8 C51224-8 CRoom temp 22 C11932-28 C12562-27 C12778-26 CTemperature increases with magnesium40 C4885 sec-43 C0.1 tittle44531-46 C0.1 molecule3196960 CWasnt speedy just frizzing60 C452875 C490376 C414471 C glittering80 C478182 C486587 C495790 CBubblingDiscussionDuring this experiment it was just expected in the hypothesis as the temperature went lower the slower the reaction time, that was also the solo pattern noticed in the experiment.The experiment was very successful at any rate at one point in the experiment were the hydrochloric acid strengths were mixed up instead of using 1 molecules we use 0.1 molecule for at least 2 tests.Evaluationduring the experiment, there was only one error which was the molecule strength was mixed up, instead of using the 1 molecule on 2 of the 40 c tests we use 0.1 molecule this could have been avoided if we paid more attention to the equipment we used in the test.Con clusionthis EEI (extended observational investigation) has discussed the aim of the experiment, the method and the results of the experiment, also the errors of the investigation that will be make sure that the same errors will not be make in future experiments. The main substances that were used in the experiment were hydrochloric acid (HCL) and magnesium ribbon(Mg) when these materials combined there was a chemical reaction, the reaction was that there was bubbling and fizzing when the magnesium dissolved, there was a pattern when the temperatures changed, the molecules in the acid would change speed cause the reaction to be either degraded or slow, when the acid was at a high temperature for example 80 C the molecules in the acid were packed together but loosen to move but they were moving at a high speed but not as fast as gas molecules, this was causing the acid to bubble like boiling water, as the temperature was high this made the magnesium ribbon to dissolve faster. A rea l-world version of this experiment could be when cooking steak on a barbeque where the higher the temperature the faster the substance will cook.
