Investigating how Surface Area affects the Rate of Reaction Between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid Introduction This investigation is investigating how surface area affects the rate of reaction, using Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid. The Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid react together to make Calcium Chloride, Water and Carbon Dioxide. Calcium Carbonate + Hydrochloric Acid Calcium Chloride + Water + Carbon Dioxide The reaction will be timed for every eventuality. Prediction I predict that increasing the surface area of the Calcium Carbonate will increase the rate of reaction because it has an increased area to so the chance of a collision with the Hydrochloric Acid becomes more frequent. This diagram shows the chips of Calcium Carbonate at its biggest size. One of its side is 16cm² - length (4cm) x width (4cm). This means that the whole cube has a surface area of 96cm² Individual Side = 4x4 = 16cm² Total Area = 16x6 = 96cm² This diagram...
