Introduction We are going to do an experiment to see how surface area effects the rate of reaction when added to hydrochloric acid. I will add calcium carbonate (marble chips) to hydrochloric acid. When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid a reaction takes place. The solution fizzes and gives off the gas carbon dioxide. I will collect this gas in a gas syringe and will time how long it takes for the reaction to …showed first 75 words of 1451 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1451 total…would further this experiment by undertaking an experiment that was quantitative. We could also change another variable I have only completed the experiment at room temperature, if I wanted to further this experiment I could try the experiment under different temperature conditions. I could also further this experiment by having different concentrations of acids instead of just one. This would prove that if the acid is more concentrated then more gas would be given off. .
