QUESTION 8
A learner uses an excess of calcium carbonate chunks and dilute hydrochloric acid
during a practical investigation. The following reaction takes place between the two
reagents:
CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
The learner provides the following information as part of her laboratory report:
dilute HCl(aq)
balance
Place 20 g of the calcium carbonate into an Erlenmeyer flask and cover it with
50 cm3 dilute hydrochloric acid.
Record the mass of the flask and contents at 30 second time intervals.
Repeat the experiment another two times. Use the same amount of calcium
carbonate, but change the size of the calcium carbonate pieces each time by
breaking the chunks into smaller particles. Keep the amount and concentration of
the hydrochloric acid constant.

8.2
Apart from the initial mass of the calcium carbonate and the volume of acid,
what initial measurement must the learner make?
