CSEC Chemistry · January 2009 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(ii)

Students are conducting an experiment to determine how hydrochloric acid concentration affects its reaction rate with magnesium. They have magnesium ribbon, 1.5 mol dm⁻³ HCl, deionized water, and lab equipment. They will perform four experiments using 50 cm³ of acid each time.

Write a balanced equation for the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid.

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
