Year 10 chemistry coursework The reaction between Calcium carbonate and Hydrochloric acid Introduction There are six things that affect the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. They are: * The temperatures of the acid * The amount of acid * The concentration of the acid * The surface area of the calcium carbonate * The amount of calcium carbonate * The form of calcium carbonate. (It is available in three forms: powder, small stones or large stones) I have decided to investigate how the concentration of the hydrochloric acid affects the reaction rate between them. What I will need/Equipment list * Large marble (calcium carbonate) chips * Hydrochloric acid (2molar) * Water bath * Measuring cylinder * Beaker with bung and gas tube * Stopwatch * H2O * Scales Preliminary Experiment To see what happens between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid when they react together I shall carry out some preliminary experiments CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq)= CaCl2 (aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) I shall conduct my preliminary experiments at...
