Rate of reaction between Marble Chips (Calcium Carbonate - CaCl ) and Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) Introduction This chemistry investigation was performed to investigate the rate of reaction between Marble Chips (Calcium Carbonate - CaCl ) and Hydrochloric Acid (HCL). In this investigation I want to find out whether the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid effects the amount of Carbon Dioxide being given off when the acid is added to Marble Chips. The reaction rate would tell me how fast or slow a chemical reaction is and there are four things that could affect this greatly, they are: - ? Concentration: An increase in concentration means there are more particles. More particles means there will be more collisions. This should increase the reaction rate. ? Surface Area: when one of the reactants is solid, the reaction can only take place at the surface of the solid. Breaking the solid into smaller pieces will...
