How does Temperature affect the Rate of Reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid?

How does Temperature affect the Rate of Reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid?

Aim:
Investigate what affects different temperatures of hydrochloric acid have on calcium carbonate.

Background Information:
For a reaction to take place, collisions must occur between the particles. If the collisions occur more frequently then the rate of reaction will increase.
The rates of reactions can be altered in many ways. The variables are:
 The size of the particles of a solid reactant
 The concentrations of reactants in solution
 The temperature
 The presence of light
 The addition of a catalyst
A catalyst is a substance that can alter the rate of a chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

Equation:
Calcium Carbonate + Hydrochloric acid > Carbon Dioxide + Calcium Chloride + Water
CaCO (s) + 2HCL (aq) + CO (g) +CaCl (aq) +H O (I)

Prediction:
In this experiment, I am going to see how ...
