An investigation into how concentration effects the reaction between hydrochloric acid and marble chips Plan As I will be using acid in the experiment I will wear safety goggles during the experiment. Set up the apparatus as shown The experiment I will be: CaCO3 + 2HCl CO2 + CaCl2 + H2O Calcium carbonate + Hydrochloric acid Carbon dioxide + Calcium chloride + Water I will monitor the rate by measuring the speed at which the product (Carbon dioxide) is given off. Preliminary Results I carried out a series of experiments to decipher what size chips, what mass of chips and what volume of solution I should use in order to get the best results from my experiment. I also took the temperature during these experiments to see if there was a sudden drop or increase in the temperature which may affect my results, there only seemed to be a drop or increase of around 1 degree each time...
