Surface Area & Concentration Effects on Rate – Required Practical Worksheet

Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry | Unit 3.15 | Physical Chemistry | Required Practical

This Synapse Science resource provides a complete worksheet and teacher notes for Required Practical 3.15 of the Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry specification. Students investigate how changing the surface area of marble chips and the concentration of hydrochloric acid affects the rate of carbon dioxide production.

Specification Point Covered
  • 3.15: Practical – Investigate the effect of changing the surface area of marble chips and of changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid on the rate of reaction
What’s Included
  • Student Worksheet – Two experiments:
    • Large chips vs powder (surface area)
    • 0.2M, 0.5M, 1M HCl (concentration)
    – Built-in results tables and graphing tasks
    – Scaffolded conclusion writing section

  • Teacher & Technician Notes
    • Method overview, setup tips, and expected results
    • Model conclusion for marking support
    • MSDS summaries and safety notes for each chemical

Key Features
  • Clear and simple practical using standard classroom equipment
  • Students plot and compare CO₂ volume over time for two variables
  • Graphing and analysis tasks support data interpretation skills
  • Focus on scientific reasoning: surface area and particle collisions
  • Clean Synapse Science layout – ready to print or assign digitally
