The reaction of solid calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is a heterogeneous reaction (a solid with a liquid). The rate law

for this reaction will have the following form: rate= k[HCL]n. Explain why the concentration of calcium carbonate does not appear in the rate law.

The concentration of calcium carbonate does not appear in the rate law because it is a solid and its concentration is constant. The molar density, which is fixed, is the concentration of the solid. In this chemical reaction, only the amount of hydrochloric acid affects the rate of reaction.

Answer:

Rate of reaction does not depend on concentration of reactants that are constant.

Explanation:

The rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the reaction rate with the concentrations or pressures of the reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders).

Sincethe rate law pretty much shows the variation between the rate of reaction at different concentrations, it follows that a fixed concentration would have a fixed rate and as such rate of reaction is independendent on such reactant.

This is alswo what is happening here, in the reaction between solid calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid, the reaction is independent on the concentration hence it is not represented in the rate law. The reason for this is because the concentrationof the solid calcium carbonate is constant and does not change. Same thing also happens in reactions involving large amount of water.

In short, rate of reaction does not depend on concentration of reactants that are constant.

Chadwick-he discovered the neutron. He discovered this by demonstrating a neutral particle with a mass the same as a proton through a reaction between gramma Ray's and a wax sample.

Rutherford-he discovered the concept of radioactive half-life, the radioactive element radon, and named alpha and beta radiation.

j.j.Thompson discovered that atoms where made up of smaller components. This had major effects for the field of physics.
