(e) Write a chemical reaction for this process.
CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) ® CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
(f) Why is gas produced at different rates in the two different experiments?
Size of chips dictates surface area. The smaller the chips, the greater the surface area and the faster the rate of reaction
