Does marble chip size matter when reacting with hydrchloric acid?

Answer 1

ah simple the hydochloric acid will fizz up and the hydrochloric acid will turn from a transparent colour to a murky white colour and you will find bubbles at the end of the test tube. now to make it really exciting what you have to do is:

-fill a test tube up with water

-then get a bucket full of water(or a smaller container)

- place your thumb firmly over the end of the test tube and turn it upside down making sure that no water comes out

- place the test tube in the container full of water (still upside down, with your thumb over the end)

- and only once the end of the test tube is fully submerged can you remove your thumb

leave it there and do not do anything!!!

- next get another test tube that is about a third full of hydrochloric acid

-place about 4 small chips of magnesium in with the hydrochloric acid

-put a transferring pipe over the end and place the tube into the bucket of water

as you will noticee there will be small bubbles coming out of the end of the tube

-position the pipe so the bubbles go up into the submerged test tube that is full of water.

-once the test tube seems as though there is nothing left in it place your hand in the bucket and re place your thumb over the end of the test tube

- then remove the test tube from the water with your thumb still firmly pushed onto the end.

dont worry last few instructions!!!!!

- light a match/splint and place it over your thumb

be careful not to burn yourself!!!

-lastly remove your thumb

once you have done this post back and tell me kinda noice you here.

Answer 2

Marble chips(made of Calcium carbonate) react with hydrochloric acid to make Calcium chloride, Water and Carbon dioxide.

Calcium Carbonate + Hydrochloric acid ----> Calcium chloride + Water + Carbon Dioxide

CaCO3 + 2 HCl ----> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

Answer 3

Marble chips are mostly made up of Calcium carbonate, which is a alkaline compound. Being alkaline, it reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce Calcium chloride, water and Carbon dioxide. Calcium chloride is white, Water and Carbon dioxide are colourless. This is the balanced equation for this reaction:

CaCO3 + 2 HCl ----> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

Answer 4

Marble chips are calcium carbonate. If the hydrochloric acid is strong(concentrated), it acts upon the marble and corrodes it liberating carbon dioxide.

Answer 5

Chip size does impact the rate of reaction. The smaller the chips, the greater the overall surface area that there is for reacting.

Answer 6

Produces Calcium chloride, Water and Carbon dioxide

CaCO3 + HCl ----> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

Answer 7

CaCO3 + 2 HCl ----> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
