An Investigation of the weathering of limestone. Purpose of experiment: To investigate if the concentration of acid affects the rate of reaction of the weathering of limestone. Plan: We will situate hydrochloric acid with limestone (calcium carbonate) and we will adjust the concentration of the acid to determine if the dilution of the acid affects the speed of the reaction of the weathering of the limestone. Pre trial run: In the pre trial run we did a quick experiment to see if there were any problems that we needed to solve. We discovered that the dilute acid was going incredible slowly and we would not have enough time to do the experiment a number of times so we could get a good average in our final results. We established that if we constantly swirled the conical flask that the rate of the reaction would be much faster. We will do this in our...
