Rates of Reaction - Marble Chips and HCl In this experiment, marble chips, or Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), will be dropped into a flask containing Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The reaction is: CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(l) --> CaCl2 + H2O(l) + CO2(g) The experiment will determine whether or not stirring quickens the reaction rate, which will be illustrated by the slope of the lines in the data graph. If heat and stirring is added to a reaction, then the gas will be released quicker. This is so because when two compounds interact, or collide, a reaction occurs. If the compounds are made to collide faster, by way of stirring, then theoretically the reaction as a whole will start faster and come to completion faster. Aparatus Stand with clamp Stopwatch Gas collection tube (rubber tube) Rubber stopper Marble chips (CaCo3) Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Test tube Measuring cylinder (100ml) Method 1. Fill up a bucket with water 2. Set up the stand with the clamp next to the bucket so that the clamp is directly above water 3. Put the open end of the measuring cylinder upside down, filled with water, in the water 4. Put one end of the tube into the measuring cylinder 5. Put 20cm3 of hydrochloric acid into the boiling tube 6. Add the marble chips into the hydrochloric acid and put the other end of the tube with the rubber stopper, onto the boiling tube allowing all gas through the tube 7. Stir the solution by making a circle motion with the tube
