Chemistry coursework Aim: To investigate how surface area alters the rate of a reaction. I have decided to investigate the effect of a certain concentration of hydrochloric acid on calcium carbonate crystals. I want to see how surface area affects the rate of reaction I didn't have that sort of time in the laboratory to wait around. In this investigation I will be using the following apparatus, one conical flask to put the crystals in and also to put the acid in so they react. * One bung to seal the top of the conical flask. * A piece of delivery tube, this carries the gas to the measuring cylinder. * Two measuring cylinders, one to measure the amount of acid and water to make my acid concentrations, and the other which is slightly bigger to collect the gas during the reaction so I know when the amount I desire has been...
