SCIENTIFIC CONCEPT
The effect of surface area on the rate of reaction can be determine by comparing two
experiment. The first experiment is the rate of reaction for the big chuck of marble . While,
the second experiment is for the powder of marble. The smaller size of reactant, the larger the
surface area of the marble (solid), the faster the reaction will be.

UNIQUE FEATURE OF THIS ACTIVITY
• The data can be manipulated easily, for example every 30 second, the level of water in
the burette was taken.
• Data displayed in a systematic manner, save time in drawing graph, show relationship
of different size of marble against time.
• Allow the student to do more important things such as analyzing the data or the graph.

• Burette
• Basin
• Retort stand
Fill the burette with full water and overturn it in the basin which contain
water.
Press the burette into the retort stand and adjust the initial reading level
of water and the reading was taken.
Weight 7.0 g the big chunk marble and place into the conical flask
Pour 50 cm3 hydrochloric acid into conical flask and delivery tube fixed
instantly.

When both sugars were dissolve in the water at room temperature, which one will
fully dissolve faster? Explain.
ANSWER:
Sugar B will dissolve first. It is because sugar B has smaller size than sugar A. The
smaller size of sugar, the larger the surface area of the sugar, the faster the reaction
will be.
