The Rate of Reaction Equation K2CO3 + HCl KCl + H2O + CO2 Aim The aim of the experiment is to find out how much surface area affects the rate of a reaction between a potassium tablet (K2CO3) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Variables The variables for this experiment include: ? The temperature of the HCl. ? The concentration of the HCl. ? The surface area of the K2CO3. For this experiment I will be testing the surface area. Prediction I think that as the surface area of the surface area of the K2CO3 decreases the rate of the reaction will increase. I think this because there is more K2CO3 for the HCl to collide with. Diagram Plan First you must add water to a basin (enough to put an upside-down 250 ml measuring cylinder in), fill a 250 ml measuring cylinder and place it upside-down in the basin and keep it off the bottom by a clamp. You must then add 30 ml of HCl...
