Question #67925
The reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid is given as: CaCO3+2HCl---------->CaCl2+CO2+H2O what will be the effect on the rate of reaction if marble chips are replaced by ground marble?
Expert's answer
The concentration of CaCO 3 in ground marble is less comparatively to marble chips. Therefore, the reaction rate with HCl is expected to be lower.
