the amount of calcium carbonate in brown versus white chicken eggs. Background: Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a component of seashells and eggshells that gives them their strength and hardness. Because calcium carbonate is a base‚ it will react with acids to form a salt and water. The complete reaction of calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is: CaCO3 (s) + HCl (aq) ( CaCl2 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l) The portion of the shell that is not calcium carbonate does not react with acid and remains

Some metals react with acids while others do not. In this experiment‚ students will perform 2 reactions: aluminum/zinc with excess 6M hydrochloric acid and aluminum-zinc alloy with excess 6M hydrochloric acid. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the atomic mass of each metal and the percent composition of a known mass aluminum-zinc alloy by determining the moles of H2 gas formed. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) 1 mole of H2(g) is produced for every 1 mole of Zn(s) 2. 2Al(s)

Rate of Reaction Experiment Introduction : in this term in chemistry class I was learning about rate of reaction. As defined by the Britannica encyclopedia‚ a chemical reaction is a process where one or more substances (reactants) are converted to one or more different products because of the rearrangement of atoms of the reactants. For the reaction to occur‚ the particles must collide with each other and in order to succeed there must be enough energy for the collision because a collision with little

An investigation to show how the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate is affected by the concentration of the acid Simple Procedure Place a conical flask on a piece of paper with a cross on it. Add hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate‚ and record the amount of time taken for the cross to disappear through the solution from the top of the flask. Record this time and repeat this for different concentrations of hydrochloric acid. Fair Test The variables in this

thiosulfate solution on the rate of the reaction when reacting with dilute hydrochloric acid. It is hypothesized that as the concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution increases‚ the rate of the reaction will also increase proportionately. Variables The independent variable is concentration. This will be varied by increments of 10mL (10mL to 50mL) and distilled water will be added accordingly to maintain a constant volume of 50mL. The dependent variable is the rate of the reaction. This will be indirectly

Write down the aim of your Investigation. To investigate the effects of change in concentration on the rate of reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid. Briefly describe your Preliminary Experiment and include your results. Explain how these results have helped you plan your main experiment (p8b). An increase in concentration will lead to an increase in the rate of reaction because there will be a greater number of particles per unit/cm3. The particles will be closer together

11/17/2011 The Preparation of Calcium Carbonate Purpose: To create chalk (calcium carbonate) and to find the percentage yield in order to see the amounts of anhydrous sodium carbonate and calcium chloride were used up. Also to see if there’s any alterations like mass differentials. Objectives: 1. To introduce the concept of “limiting factor” in a chemical reaction 2. To practice a. Writing a balanced equation b. Determining the number of moles of each reactant and product

To investigate how does the concentration of Hydrochloric acid affect the rate of reaction? Outline I aim to discover how different concentrations of Hydrochloric acid influence the rates of reaction. In order to carry out this investigation I have decided to use marble chips‚ which I will vary the sizes as powder‚ small chips and large chips. I will also be changing the concentration‚ the different concentrations are as follows 0.2m‚ 0.5m‚ 1m‚ 1.5‚ 2m. I have chosen these concentrations as they
