Rates of Reaction A chemical Reaction takes place when particles of different reactants collide together. Not all collisions will cause a reaction for a collision to take place it should be over a certain amount of energy called activation energy, which will break the bonds. If the particles do not have activation energy they will harmlessly bounce of each other. I am going to investigate the factors which affect the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid. In my investigation I am going to investigate the speed of reaction. I will do this by changing the temperature of the Hydrochloric Acid. The range of temperatures will be: * 25ºC * 30 ºC * 35 ºC * 40 ºC * 45 ºC I will then see if the temperature affected the rate of reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid either by slowing it down or speeding it up. I have chosen this between surface area, catalyst...
