An Investigation to determine how acidic concentration will affect the rate of reaction between Marble Chips {Calcium Carbonate} (CaCO3) and Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) In my investigation I want to determine the factors which will affect the rate of reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid, and how a certain factors affect the rate of reaction when CaCO3 is reacted with an excess of HCL. Rates of reaction are based on the collision theory, and the collision theory states that the following must happen for a reaction to take place: i) firstly a collision must take place between two reacting particles. ii) and a reaction will only result if the two colliding particles posses enough activation energy to react, otherwise they will just bounce off. The Equations: The equation of the reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid is shown below: Marble Chips + Hydrochloric Acid Calcium Chloride + Water + Carbon (Calcium Chloride) Dioxide CaCO3 (s) + 2HCL (aq) CaCl2...
