The rate of reaction increases this reaction between marble chips calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid is an exothermic reaction.
Marble chips experiment rates of reaction.
The units for rate of reaction will usually be grams per min g min an investigation of the reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid.
In the investigation i am going to find out how the surface area affects the rate of reaction by measuring the amount of gas produced and weight loss in a reaction between small large pieces of marble chips calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid per minute.
Investigating the rate of reaction between marble chips calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid aim.
The reaction rate will be directly proportional to the hcl concentration.
The rate of the reaction will decrease as hcl is consumed.
These are reactions that transfer energy to the surroundings.
Caco3 2hcl h2o co2 this is the reaction we will be investigating.
The energy is usually transferred as heat energy causing the reaction mixture and its surroundings to become hotter.
The rate of a chemical reaction can be measured either by how quickly reactants are used up or how quickly the products are formed.
Marble chips and hydrochloric acid rates of reaction planning aim to find if changing the concentration of an acid will increase or decrease the rate of the reaction when marble is dissolved in hydrochloric acid.
The rate of reaction can be calculated using the following equation.
