How would you design an experiment to investigate the rate of reaction between magnisium and sulphuric acid?

Answer 1

Prepare 5 equal volumes of sulphuric acid, but of of gradually increasing concentration, say 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0M. Measure out 5 equal samples of magnesium (eg 1cm lengths of Mg ribbon), and add them to the tubes of acid. measure the time taken for the Mg to dissolve completely.

Answer 2

H2SO4 (aq) ---> 2 H+(aq) + SO4--(aq) CuO(s) ---> Cu++(aq) + O--(aq) O--(aq) + H+(aq) ---> OH-(aq) OH-(aq) + H+(aq) ---> H2O(l) upload those and you get CuO(s) + H2SO4(aq) ---> Cu++(aq) + SO4--(aq) + H2O(l). be conscious that because of the fact CuSO4 is a salt, it exists in aqueous answer as Cu++(aq) + SO4--(aq).
