Using a more concentrated HCl solution and Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder makes the reaction to occur at a faster rate.
<u>Explanation:</u>
CaCO₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O(aq) + CO₂(g)
When calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, it gives out carbon-dioxide in the form of bubbles and there is a formation of calcium chloride in aqueous medium.
The rate of the reaction can be increased by
- Using a more concentrated HCl solution
- Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder
When concentrated acid is used instead of dilute acid then the reaction will occur at a faster rate.
When CaCO₃ is crushed into a fine powder then the surface area will increases thereby increasing the rate of the reaction.
The answer is A it’s tall
When an uncharged weak acid is added to water, a homogeneous equilibrium forms in which aqueous acid molecules, HA(aq), react with liquid water to form aqueous hydronium ions and aqueous anions, A-<span>(aq). The latter are produced when the acid molecules lose H+ ions to water.</span>
