Rates of reaction In my coursework I am going to investigate the reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate. The word equation for this reaction is: Hydrochloric + Calcium Calcium + Water Acid Carbonate Chloride +Carbon Dioxide The symbol equation is: 2HCL (aq) + CaCO3 CaCL2 (aq) H20 ( c ) + CO2 (g) Key Variables All the substances are made up of some particles. The particles could be atoms, molecules or ions. Before we can get a reaction particles must collide with each other and create a reaction. This is the collision theory. The factors that affect the rate of this reaction are temperature, concentration, surface area, and catalysts. Temperature is a factor that affects the rate of reaction because it causes more collisions because the heat is giving the particles more energy. This must happen because reactants most collide with sufficient energy to break old bond and form new ones. This would cause...
