Investigating on the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. Aim: I'm going to investigate the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid>> carbon dioxide + calcium chloride + water Prediction: I predict that the higher the concentration of hydrochloric acid, the faster the carbon dioxide will be given off, therefore the greater the rate of reaction. I think this because the higher the concentration of the acid molecules the more particles available to react, also the higher the concentration of acid particles the more chance of a particle having enough activation energy. From the key science book it states that, the speed of the reaction is found to be proportional to the concentration of the acid, if the acid concentration is doubled, the speed of reaction doubles. The reason for this is that the ions are closer together in a concentrated solution,...
