Testing the effect of surface area on the speed of reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid I am trying to find out if there is any effect on the speed of reaction between hydrochloric acid and the surface area of calcium carbonate. I think that an increase in the surface area of calcium carbonate will speed up the reaction because the particles in the hydrochloric acid solution will have more area to work on therefore there will be more useful collisions between particles as both reactants. - Increase the temperature ~ the particles move quicker consequently, there are more collisions. - Concentration of the Hydrochloric Acid ~ If the acid is more concentrated than there is more particles of reactant knocking about. - Size of the Calcium Carbonate ~ If the Calcium Carbonate, a solid is broken up into smaller pieces it will increase its surface area. This means that the particles around...
