How do particle sizes affect the speed at which mass is lost from the reaction mixture of marble chips and dilute hydrochloric acid as the gas carbon dioxide is released?

Answer 1

if the particles are really small, ie, a powder form, the reaction will be a lot quicker because there is a larger surface area. if the marble is in larger chips, the surface area of the marble is smaller therefore the reaction is slower.

Answer 2

the bigger particles make reactions slower because there is hardly any surface area for them to move around in whereas if the particles are small they have slot of surface area to move around in therefore they move alto more making the reaction go quicker. hope i helped :)

Answer 3

Smaller particle sizes result in an increased surface area of the marble chips exposed to the acid, leading to faster reaction rates and consequently a faster loss of mass as carbon dioxide gas is released. This is because the acid can come into contact with a larger area of the marble surface, allowing for more frequent and effective collisions between the reacting molecules.

Answer 4

well the bigger the marble is the slower it is
