Rate of Reaction Experiments

Reaction of Hydrochloric Acid and Marble Chips

.Measure the volume of gas evolved with a gas syringe and take readings at regular intervals

.Make a table of readings and plot them as a graph, time goes on the x axis and volume goes on the y axis

.Repeat the experiment with the same measurements but the marble more crushed

.Then repeat with powdered chalk instead

Using finer particles gives the marble a larger surface area, this causes more frequent collisions which makes the reaction faster.
