The Effect of Temperature on Corroding Marble Chips

What do you want to find out?

-----------------------------

I want to find out the effect temperature on corroding marble chips.

What scientific knowledge might be useful in planning your

investigation?

Calcium Carbonate is the marble, which when it has hydrochloric acid

added to it will produce calcium chloride, water and carbon dioxide.

The chemical equation for this is:

CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2O + CO2. An increased temperature means that

the hydrogen ions in the acid will move faster, leading to more

collisions and more successful collisions. The more successful

collisions there are the greater the rate of reaction.

From what you already know what to you think will happen?

---------------------------------------------------------

I predict that the higher temperatures will speed up the reaction

time. I think this because the hydrogen ions will get more energy from

the higher temperatures and move faster. This will allow them to

collide more often, and therefore more successful collisions.

What factors will you control during your investigation?

--------------------------------------------------------

¨ Size of the conical flasks

¨ The size and mass of the marble chips (2 grams)

¨ The time intervals (20 seconds)

When I do the temperature experiment I will keep the concentration

experiment the same.

What factors will you change during the investigation?

------------------------------------------------------

In the temperature experiment I will change the temperature.

What observations/measurements are you going to make and over what

range? How will you make these measurements accurate?

I will measure the amount of gas produced every 20 seconds. For the

temperature experiment I will use a range of temperatures, 0°C, 10°C,

20°C, 40°C and 60°C. I will repeat each experiment for each

temperature.

How will you present your results?

----------------------------------

I will present my results in tables and on two line graphs as shown

below.

  • How to Remove a Stain From Carrara Marble

    734 Words  | 2 Pages

    Produced from limestone over perhaps millions of years, the quarries in Italy's Apuane mountain range yield a rich, white marble that is world-famous for purity. Once prized by Michelangelo, who sculpted many masterpieces from Carrara marble, Italians still savor the look of marble in their homes. But in Italy, the scars and stains so easily imparted on Carrara marble stand as marks of character, almost like a picture history. In your home, you can enjoy the beauty and elegance without the marks with careful care. A poultice -- purchased or homemade -- can take out most stains.

  • Calcium Silicate Concrete In The Roman Empire

    1467 Words  | 3 Pages

    Besides the known inventions and renovations of the Roman Empire, one of the building materials that the Roman Empire produced was concrete. With its strength, inexpensiveness and its easiness to work, the Roman Empire left an everlasting impact. Concrete that is a mixture of aggregate, which is usually gravel, sand or small stones, binding agents, and water is used to construct buildings and infrastructure. The first one, aggregate, gives the product its mass while the second one, binding agents, is used to harden the product. In the early times of the history, limestone powder was usually used as a binding agent in the mixture. The Romans later used “pulvis puteolanus” (pozzolanic ash), which was a fine volcanic ash as a binding agent and it allowed Romans to have strong concrete that is also durable (Yegeul, n.d.). It was easy to use

    The Cape Granite Suite formed about 560-520 Ma during the Saldanian orogeny which occurred between 780 to 510 Ma (Harris & Vogelli, 2010; Villaros, Stevens & Buick, 2009). This orogeny formed as a result of the convergence of the Rio de la Plata and Kalahari cratons during the formation of Gondwanaland (Harris & Vogelli, 2010). The granitoids of the CGS were intruded into the three terranes of the metasedimentary and metavolcanic Malmesbury Group which are divided by distinct north-west trending shear zones (Scheepers, 2000). These terranes include the southwestern Tygerberg terrane, Swartland terrane at the centre and Boland terrane to the north east (Fig. 1) (Scheepers, 1995).

We then recorded the data of the combined tube and wrote down the results. After this, we mixed tubes 4 and 5 and completed the same procedure as with tubes 2 and 3 (“Biology” 80). We then had to determine the effect of temperature. We found the results of these four temperatures:

  • Concrete: The Lifecycle Of Concrete

    1302 Words  | 3 Pages

    Concrete is one of the world’s most popular construction materials. Some six billion tonnes of concrete is produced each year in the world, making it approximately one ton of concrete for every human being per year (Fardis, 2012, p.116). However, the lifecycle of concrete does not make it the most sustainable building material at the moment. Because of limited natural resources, concerns over green house gases, and landfill problems, concrete production is being cut-back, or at least cannot be increased to keep up with population increase. In this essay, I will look at what makes concrete an unsustainable material and possible solutions to make concrete a more sustainable material.
