Rate of Reaction Aim: to find the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction when hydrochloric acid is added to limestone chips. Hypothesis: At low temperatures, particles of reacting surfaces do not have much energy. However, when the substances are heated, the particles take in energy. This causes them to move faster and collide more often. The collisions have more energy, so more of them are successful. Therefore the rate of reaction increases. Because of this, I think that the higher the temperature of the hydrochloric acid, the more cm3 of carbon dioxide will be produced. Plan: Firstly, I will collect 6 conical flasks and a gas-syringe along with a clamp and stand. I will also need a rubber tube with a bung attached to one end of it; the end with the bung will be put into the mouth of one conical flask at a time with the other end being attached...
