An investigation to find out how the concentration of acid affects the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate
(magnesium ribbon)
Planning
--------
The aim of my investigation is to find out how changing the concentration of acid affects the rate of the reaction between CaCO3 and HCl. To make my experiments fair tests, I will only change one variable: the concentration of the acid. I will have to keep the volume of the acid, the mass and size of the marble chips and the temperature of the acid the same in all my experiments to insure a fair test, because by changing any of the above I will change the conditions and therefore the results will be inaccurate and the rate of reaction will be affected.
The products of the reaction between the hydrochloric acid and the magnesium ribbon are calcium chloride, water and carbon dioxide.
CaCO3 (s) + 2HCl(aq) CaCl2 (l) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
As CO2 is a gas it will escape as the reaction is taking place, therefore there will be a mass loss. Following from that I have decided to monitor this mass loss by weighing my components on a set of scales as the reaction takes place, the conical flask with the reactants will be constantly on the scales and I will be reading the mass of the display every 10 seconds. I will use 5 different concentrations of the acid. The strongest concentration will be 2 molar and the weakest will be 0.4 molar. The different concentrations will be obtained by adding a certain volume of water to the acid to dilute it this will reduce the concentration.
GRAPH
I predict that the higher concentration of the acid will have a much faster rate of reaction than the weaker solution, i.e. the mass loss will be more rapid. This is because a higher concentration of acid will contain more acid molecules per a set volume than low concentration solution. This means that there will be a higher chance of the calcium carbonate molecules colliding with the hydrochloric acid molecule and reacting.
According to the collision theory, reactant particle have to collide in order for the reaction to form a product in this case (calcium chloride, water and carbon dioxide). However not all the collisions are successful and if there is not enough energy the molecules will simply rebound.
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.

Rate of Reaction Between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid Plan: In my experiment I will measure the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. The rate of the reaction is the speed that the reaction takes place so by measuring the rate I will measure the amount of time the reaction takes. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that is found in digestive juices in the stomach, it is also used for cleaning metals before they are coated. Calcium carbonate has a few forms including chalk and limestone the main use of these two materials is in the making of concrete, which is used for many things such as buildings. When you put calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid together they react to form calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.
Rate of Reaction Between Marble Chips and Hydrochloric Acid. The aim of this experiment is to find out how different variables affect the rate at which the reaction between Marble chips (CaCO ) and Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used. There are many variables that affect the rate of this reaction such as the following. 1.

Rate of Reaction - Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid. Aim Investigation, to find out how the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid is affected by changing the concentration. Introduction I must produce a piece of coursework investigating the rate of reaction, and the effect different changes have on them. The rate of reaction is the rate of loss of a reactant, or the rate of development of a product during a chemical reaction. It is measured by dividing 1 by the time taken for the reaction to take place.
