The surface area of the magnesium is increased. The reaction will be larger, but normally will take less time.

Why does it bubble when you add Magnesium to Sulphuric acid?

The bubbling you mention is Hydrogen gas being given off as a result of a reaction between the metal [Magnesium] and the acid [Sulphuric acid] Mg + H2SO4 = MgSO4 + H2 MgSO4 is a salt of Magnesium [Magnesium Sulphate] I hope this helps you.


What is the independent variable in the magnesium oxide reaction?

The independent variable in the Magnesium Oxide Lab would be the Mass of the Magnesium Ribbon. This is because the mass of the product, i.e. Magnesium Oxide, depends on how much Magnesium is added.


Why does magnesium ribbon not react with sodium sulphate solution?

as a displacement reaction has to occur when the metal is higher in the reactivity series thatn the metal in the salt. With your question this is not the case as sodium is higher than magnesium and so nothing will take effect.


What effect does raising the temperature of a chemical reaction?

Raising the temperature of a chemical reaction typically increases the rate of the reaction as it provides more energy for the molecules to react. This is because a higher temperature increases the kinetic energy of molecules, allowing them to collide more frequently and with greater force, leading to more successful collisions and faster reaction rates.


What is Something that produces an effect but cannot do so alone?

A catalyst is an example of something that can produce a chemical reaction or effect, but cannot do so alone. It speeds up a reaction without being consumed in the process.

What is the effect of a catalyst on a chemical reaction?

To Cause a Chemical reaction. A properly chosen, specific catalyst is able to speed up the rate of a particular chemical reaction.


Does temperature effect the rate of chemical reaction?

yes.

What effect does a catalyst have?

A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. It does so by providing an alternative reaction pathway that requires less energy to initiate the reaction. The catalyst itself remains unchanged at the end of the reaction and can be used over and over again.


Why does thermal energy effect a chemical reaction?

Generally the reaction rate is higher at high temperature.


How is the speed of chemical reaction related to the spontaneity of the reaction?

The speed of a given chemical reaction is directly responsible for spontaneity of the reaction. The reaction force and effect is contingent upon the speed of the reaction. The faster the reaction, the more force will be produced.
