Chemistry Coursework Chris Outar Introduction For this experiment we have to find out how the concentration of nitric acid affects the rate of reaction between nitric acid and marble chips. To do this we are going to dilute the acid and see how this affects the rate of reaction. Prediction: I predict that the more the concentrated the acid in the solution, the faster the rate of reaction, so if I have twice the amount of concentration I will have twice the rate. (2 X concentration = 2 X rate). I have predicted this because in gases and liquids, particles are in constant motion, and to react, the particles collide and a successful reaction happens, so if there is a higher concentration in a reaction, there are more particles to collide and react, so more chances of a successful reaction. Since there are more collisions, the reaction takes place faster. If there is twice as much...
