Principle

The reaction velocity is highly dependent on the temperature. In this experiment magnesium reacts with acetic acid. Comparing the velocity at the beginning of the reaction shows that the velocity doubles when the temperature increases 10 K.

Tasks

Investigate the reaction of magnesium with acetic acid at different temperatures.
