In a chemical reaction, 2.5g of calcium carbonatereact completely with excess hydrochloric acid to
produce 600cm3 of carbon dioxide gas in 1.5minutes. Find the rate of reaction in term of
a.decreasing mass of calcium carbonate
b. increasing volume of carbon dioxide gas produced
1
Examples of fast reaction

Example 1
Reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid.
CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
The rate of the reaction can be determined by
a. Measuring the reduces of the mass of the calcium carbonate (reactants) over time
b. Measuring the increases of the volume of the carbon dioxide gas produced over time.
Rate of Reaction = Volume of CO2 produced
Time taken
Example 2
In a reaction, 5 g of calcium carbonate takes 250seconds to completely react with solution of hydrochloric
acid. Calculate the average rate for this reaction in units
(a) g s-1 and
(b) mol s-1
[ Relative atomic mass: C 12; 0, 16; Ca, 40]
[a. 0.02g/s; b. 0.0002mol/s]
Answer
Rate of reaction= [0.00833s-1]

Example 4
When the aqueous of ethanadioic is mixed withacided potassium manganate(VII) , the reactionhappen
slowly at room temperature. The purplecolour of the solution is bleached after 40 seconds.Calculate the
average rate of reaction.
