Independent Variable: The number of marbles. Dependent Variable: The momentum of the first marble and final marble. Control Variables:

faster the reaction will take place because there will be more hydrochloric acid particles to collide with the marble chip particles therefore resulting in a quicker reaction. The lower the concentration‚ the weaker the reaction will be as there will be fewer particles so less chance of a collision and a lower rate of reaction.
