Amy Bowring Chemistry Coursework Introduction Carbonates react with strong acids to give off carbon dioxide and water. Marble is calcium carbonate and thus behaves in the same way: CaCO3 (s) + 2HCL (aq) CaCL2 (aq) + H2O (l) +CO2 (g) I will be conducting an investigation into the affect of calcium carbonate reacting with Hydrochloric acid. There are many different factors that can effect the rate of a reaction; some of these are as follows: Temperature - The higher the temperature the more energy each particle will have which means it will vibrate more, causing the amount of collisions to increase. If the particles collide more, the rate of reaction is increased. Concentration of Acid - The higher the concentration of acid, the more particles there are to react with. If for example the concentration of Hydrochloric acid is doubled then there are more Hydrochloric particles present...
