The Effect of Concentration on the Rate of Decomposition of Calcium Carbonate. PLAN I planned my experiment based on the scientific knowledge I already have: If I increase the concentration the rate of reaction increases. This is because the higher the concentration, the more liquid (acid) particles there are in the same volume, to collide and react with the solid (calcium carbonate) particles. Therefore the rate of reaction increases. Basically the probability of the particles colliding and reacting is increased, when the concentration is increased. E.g.; Lower concentration Higher concentration Prediction: I believe that the rate of reaction will increase with increase in concentration. This is because as explained above. The higher the concentration, the more liquid (acid) particles there are in the same volume, to react with the solid (calcium carbonate) particles. Therefore the rate of reaction increases. Basically, at higher concentrations, there are more molecules per litre, so there will be more collisions, so the reaction...
