In this investigation I am going to try and increase the rate of reaction when creating Carbon Dioxide, we will be using 1 gram of Sodium Carbonate and 20cm3 of 1.0 mole dm-3 Sulphuric Acid at 20 degrees centigrade.

Ivor's Problem Introduction In this investigation I am going to try and increase the rate of reaction when creating Carbon Dioxide, we will be using 1 gram of Sodium Carbonate and 20cm3 of 1.0 mole dm-3 Sulphuric Acid at 20 degrees centigrade. I will try to improve the rate of reaction by heating up the acid, in turn this will increase the acid molecules speed, making them move around more quickly and have more collisions with the Sodium Carbonate's base area, during a certain amount of time. But if the acid is not heated the molecules are not going to be as violent, so there would not be as many collisions in the same amount of time, so the speed of the reaction would be slower. To heat the acid I will first put it into a test tube and then I will put the test tube into a water bath, the...
