investigation into the affect of the concentration on the rate of reaction Between Calcium Carbonate and
An investigation into the affect, of the concentration on the rate of reaction, Between Calcium Carb Introduction I will be conducting an investigation into the affect of calcium carbonate reacting with Hydrochloric Acid. My primary aim is to find the change in reaction rate when the concentration is increased. Prediction I predict that the stronger the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid the more gas produced, by a faster rate of reaction. I think this will happen because a reaction goes faster when the concentration of a reactant is increased. The rate of a reaction depends on how many successful collisions there are between the two components, in this case being Hydrochloric acid and also calcium carbonate. This is a simple law of chemistry involving the rate of a reaction, and it will be very useful for my experiment. In a diluted concentration of hydrochloric acid then the chance of an acid particle hitting a calcium carbonate particle is less. But if a more concentrated solution is used there are more particles and there is a greater chance of the particle colliding with another calcium carbonate particle. ... Tray of calcium carbonate Clamp and retort 1 stop. ... Take the 3 grams of the calcium carbonate crystals and place them in the conical flask attached to the gas syringe.
