Observing the Effects of Surface Area on Reaction Rate

Aim: To make simple observations during a reaction between calcium carbonate CaCo3 chips and powder with hydrochloric  acid HCI

Equipment:Boiling tube calcium carbonate chips and powder with hydrachloric acid measuring cylinder spatula

Method:
1:Measure 2ml of hydrochloric acid and pour this into your boiling tube.

2: Holding your boiling tube over a sink of heatproof mat add a pea-sized amount of calcium carbonate powder to your boiling tube.Record your observations below.

3:Repeat the experiment but this time use a chip of calcium carbonate that is roughly the same size as the spatula of powder you used previously.Record your observations below.
 
RESULTS

When using powder it fizzed up.
When using the rocks it bubbled.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion the more reactants there is the faster the reaction will happen or the more surface the faster the reaction occured
