1) Which flask produced 
      the most carbon dioxide at 1 minute?
      Flask "B" 
      produces the most carbon dioxide after 1 minute.
      2) Explain why flasks "B", "C" and "D" produced 
      less carbon dioxide than flask "A".
      It appears that flasks "B", "C" 
      and "D" ran out of acid. Flask "A" with the extra volume 
      of acid produced more carbon dioxide.
      3) Irene was heard to comment "The experiment shows that the amount 
      of carbon dioxide produced after ten minutes depends on the temperature." 
      Is this correct?
      Since flasks "B", "C" and "D" 
      produced the same amount of carbon dioxide after ten minutes this statement 
      is false. 
      4) What is the effect of temperature on the reaction?
      A high temperature makes the reaction proceed faster 
      than at a lower temperature.

| Students in year 8 studied the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. The students set up 4 flasks in which the volume of hydrochloric acid and temperature were varied but the amount of calcium carbonate remained constant. | |||||||||||||||||||
