The effect of temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction Investigating the rate of Carbon Dioxide production when Calcium Carbonate reacts with Hydrochloric acid. Introduction: A reaction's rate can be influenced by a number of variables; the surface area of the reactants; whether or not there is a catalyst in the experiment; the concentration of the reactants and the temperature of the reactants. In this investigation I plan to find out about how the temperature affects the rate of a reaction. I will do this by changing the temperature of the hydrochloric acid and recording the rate at which carbon dioxide is produced in each experiment over a period of time. Plan for experiment: Apparatus: - For the experiment I will require: * A Buckner flask * A Glass syringe * 25ml measuring cylinder * 15x 25ml of Hydrochloric acid * 15x 2 grams of Calcium Carbonate * Stopwatch * Electric Scales (accurate to 2d.p.) * Thermometer Variables: There are several variables...
