Investigating How Concentration of Acid Affects the Reaction Between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid
Introduction
============
According to the collision theory temperature, concentration, surface
area and catalysts all affect rates of reaction as shown in the
diagrams below. Increasing any of these should increase the number of
collisions and so increase the reaction rate up to an optimum point.
Increasing the temperature causes the particles to collide with more
energy and more frequently, thereby increasing the reaction rate.
Surface area is like concentration in that the greater numbers of
particles present means that a useful collision is more likely
(collision theory). Catalysts provide a surface area for reactions to
take place on and so also increase the chances of a reaction.
I will be investigating concentration and how it affects the rate of
reaction in the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric
acid. Concentration will be my variable (different mole) and the only
thing to be changed each time. Temperature can change easily and is
difficult to keep constant and surface area is very difficult to
measure and almost impossible with chips of marble. No catalysts were
available for use so I could not investigate this leaving me with my
choice of concentration as the variable in the reaction below:
CaCO + 2HCL à CaCL + H O + CO
Calcium Carbonate + Hydrochloric acid à Calcium Chloride + Water +

==========
If a solution (HCL) is made more concentrated it means that there are
more particles of reactant colliding between the water molecules,
which makes collisions between the reactants (HCL and Calcium
carbonate) more likely and so increasing the rate of reaction. From
this theory I predict that the higher the concentration, the quicker
the rate of reaction will be, shown by the displacement of water. The
water will be displaced by the carbon dioxide because in a higher
concentration of HCL there will be more HCL acid molecules per set
Experiment is to investigate the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate Hydrochloric acid + Calcium Carbonate Þ Calcium Chloride + Water + Carbon Dioxide 2HCl (aq) CaCo3 (s) CaCl2(s) H2O (aq) CO2 (g) There are a number of variables in this experiment and these are listed below as input variables and outcome variables.
Chemical reactions take place by chance. Particles need to collide with enough velocity so that they react and interlock with each other, this is called the lock and key theory. As the surface area is increased the particles have a bigger surface to react with so more molecules can react at a time. This means that they are colliding more often and there is a bigger chance that the collisions have enough velocity to cause a reaction. Since there are more collisions the chemical reaction takes place faster.
The aim is to find out if changing the concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution has an effect on the time taken for the reaction. The reaction that will take place is: Hydrochloric acid + Calcium Carbonate + Calcium Chloride + Water + Carbon dioxide 2HCl (aq) + CaCo3 (s) CaCL2 (aq) + H2O + CO2 (g). Collision theory - Collisions between reactant particles are needed. for the reaction to take place in order to form a product.

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the affect of the use of a catalyst and temperature on the rate of reaction while keeping all the other factors that affect the reaction rate constant.
If there is a large particle with a large surface area, and many small particles, the smaller particles have a higher chance of colliding with the larger particles. However, if there are small particles, and small particles of another compound, then the reaction rate would be slower, because the particles wouldn’t collide as easily as they would with particles of a bigger size. The third factor that affects collisions is the temperature. If there is a higher temperature, then the particles are able to move freer and faster, than they would if the temperature was lower. This means that the reaction rate would be faster, because the collisions of the particles are more frequent.
The Effect of Temperature of Hydrochloric Acid on the Rate of Reaction Between Hydrochloric Acid and Magnesium

The Effect of Concentration of Hydrochloric Acid on the Rate of Reaction with Magnesium Aim: To investigate the effect of concentration of hydrochloric acid on the rate of reaction with magnesium Prediction: As the concentration of the hydrochloric acid increases, so will the rate of reaction Hypothesis: In a reaction, particles of two different reactants react together to form a product. The reaction only takes place on account of two things, if the particles collide, and if the collision has enough 'activation energy'. The two reactant particles, in this case magnesium particles and hydrochloric acid particles, must collide with each other on the correct 'collision course'. If this does not occur then no chemical reaction will take place. The reaction must also have enough energy, this can be affected by temperature, the more heat the particles have the faster they move and so the more energy therefore more chance of successful collisions.
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction without affecting the products of the reaction and remains unchanged. This experiment focused on increasing the temperature of hydrochloric acid when it reacts with magnesium. The volume of hydrogen gas produced. Independent variables: The temperature of HCl gas will decrease and increase throughout the experiment.
The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction Between Hydrochloric Acid and Calcium Carbonate
An investigation into how changing one variable influences the rate of reaction between marble chips and dilute Hydrochloric acid
Investigating the Rate of Reaction Between Marble Chips and Acid Introduction This is a test to demonstrate the reaction rate between marble chips (CaCO) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Hopefully we will be able to prove that the concentration of the acid is directly proportional to the reaction rate. Aim To discover if the concentration of acid is directly proportional to the rate of reaction, by monitoring the amount of gas given off as the reaction takes place. Prediction We believe that the concentration of the acid will be directly proportional to the rate of reaction. We believe this due to the following theory: [IMAGE]The collision theory: This theory states that for a reaction to occur the reactant particles need to react with sufficient energy.
There are five factors which affect the rate of a reaction, according to the collision theory of reacting particles: temperature, concentration (of solution), pressure (in gases), surface area (of solid reactants), and catalysts. I have chosen to investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction. This is because it is the most practical way to investigate. Dealing with temperatures is a difficult task, especially when we have to keep constant high temperatures. Secondly, the rate equation and the constant k changes when the temperature of the reaction changes.
The rate of reaction is how quickly or slowly reactants in chemical reactants turn into products. A low reaction rate is when the reaction takes a long time to take place; hence, a reaction that occurs quickly has a high reaction rate. A rate refers to how slow or quick the product is produced. It is possible to control the rate of chemical reactions and speed up or slow down the rate of chemical reactions by altering three main factors which are temperature, concentration and the surface area. When the temperature of the reactants increases, the molecules vibrate at a more intense speed therefore colliding with each other more frequently and with increased energy resulting in a greater rate of reaction. Accordingly, as the temperature decreases the molecules will move slower, colliding less frequently and with decreased energy resulting in the rate of reaction decreasing. Concentration is how much solute is dissolved into a solution and is also a factor that affects the rate of reaction. When the concentration is greater this means there is an increased amount of reactant atoms and molecules resulting in a higher chance that collisions between molecules will occur. A higher collision rate means a higher reaction rate. Consequently at lower concentrations there are reduced chances of the molecules colliding resulting in a lower reaction rate. The measurement of how much an area of a solid is exposed is called the surface area. The quicker a reaction will occur the more finely divided the solid is. For example, a powdered solid will usually have a greater rate of reaction in comparison to a solid lump that contains the same mass for it has a lower surface area than the powdered solid.
