Question

The Affect of Metal Degradation Based on Acid Type

Four acids are put into varying test tubes and magnesium metal [Mg] is dropped into each test tube and the time it takes for the metal to completely dissolve is measured:

Lab Data

Test Tube-1 (H2SO4 3M) time: 3.68seconds                                                        Test Tube-2 (HCl 6M) time: 4.25seconds

Test Tube-3 (CH3COOH 6M) time: 17.58 minutes/seconds                               Test Tube-4 (H3PO4 6M): 5.54 minutes/seconds

Calculate the reaction rates for each tube utilizing the equation (use the concentration of each respective acid): Rate = ∆[X]/time(s)

Which acid provides the highest reaction rate?
