An Investigation into the factors that affect the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate (marble chips) and hydrochloric acid There are 5 major influences on the rate of reaction. These are:> The surface area of any solid reactants> The concentration of the reactants> The temperature at which the reaction is carried out> The presence of a catalyst> The influence of light on some reactions The surface area affects the rate of reaction because the larger the surface area the greater the surface for the liquid or solution to react on. Therefore more energy is released. The concentration affects the rate of reaction because the higher the concentration the greater the rate of reaction. There are more particles in solution and therefore more collisions. This is releases more energy. An increase in the temperature increases the rate of reaction because as you increase the temperature the particles move more...
