Jack Murray Concentration Aim: To find out how the Acid concentration affects the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and limestone. Background Information: The reaction is: Limestone + Hydrochloric Calcium + Carbon+ Water (calcium Acid Chloride Dioxide carbonate) CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) Reactants: * Limestone (calcium carbonate) (CaCO3(s)) * Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Products: * Calcium Chloride (CaCl2(s)) * Carbon Dioxide (CO2(g)) * Water (H2O(l)) I can measure the rate of reaction be seeing how much of a reactant is used up or a product is produced in a certain amount of time. In the case of this experiment I will find out how much CO2 (product) is produced in a certain amount of time. Prediction: I think that as the concentration of the acid increases, more carbon dioxide will be produced. I think this because of my knowledge of the collision theory: All substances are made up of particles. The particles might be atoms, molecules or ions. Before there can be a reaction, particles must collide. The...
