Marble is calcium carbonate and thus behaves in the same way.
Marble hcl reaction.
Pieces of marble are thrown into hydro chloric acid.
Marble chips and hydrochloric acid planning aim to find if changing the concentration of an acid will increase or decrease the rate of the reaction when marble is dissolved in hydrochloric acid.
Hydrochloric acid or hcl is a strong acid that donates h to water.
Hydrochloric acid marble chips the experiment 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 takes place.
The overall reaction is 2hcl caco3 cacl2 co2 h2o.
Calcium carbonate is dissolved by hydrochloric acid thereby forming gaseous carbon dioxide.
This process is based on random particle movement.
The reaction takes place spontaneously.
Click each image to see positive and negative results of the acid test.
Hydrochloric acid to react with the marble chips independent variable marble chips to react with the acid dependent variable stopwatch to accurately time the experiment spatula to handle the marble chips measuring cylinder to precisely measure out different concentrations of hydryochloric acid electric balance to measure the mass g of the marble chips bung.
Detailed description pdf video mpg4.
In fact if you take baking soda which contains hco3 and add vinegar which donates h to the solution this is precisely what happens.
Calcium carbonate and hcl.
Being alkaline it reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride water and carbon dioxide.
Therefore resulting in a quicker reaction.
The combined reactants have a higher chemical potential than the combined products i e.
Marble is crystalized caco3.
There are many variables that affect.
Caco3 s 2hcl aq 61614.
The increased h increases the rate of the reverse reactions forming carbon dioxide and water.
The higher the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the beaker the faster the reaction will take place.
Marble reaction with hydrochloric acid drop a small amount of dilute hydrochloric acid on an area of your sample that has been scratched by a nail.
Marble chips are mostly made up of calcium carbonate which is a alkaline compound.
