In an experiment, calcium carbonate reacted with different volumes of hydrochloric acid in water. One of the products formed during the experiment was carbon dioxide. The time taken for 0.89 mL of carbon dioxide to form was recorded. A partial record of the experiment is shown. Flask Mass of Calcium Carbonate Volume of HCl Volume of Water Time 1 4.0 g 25 mL 0 mL 11.2 seconds 2 4.0 g 20 mL 5 mL 3 4.0 g 15 mL 10 mL 4 4.0 g 10 mL 15 mL Based on your knowledge of factors that affect the rates of chemical reactions, predict the trend in the last column of the experimental record. Use complete sentences to explain the trend you predicted. You do not have to determine exact values for time; just describe the trend you would expect (increase or decrease) and why it occurs
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
