URGENT... with acid reactions such as, say...
acid + metal ---> salt + H2
or acid + metal carbonate ---> salt + CO2 + H20
How would you measure the rate of these types of reactions?
I can think of some, like measuring the volume of gas evolved over time, or measuring loss of mass over time (as gases escape)... is there anything else?
I know there are several things you can measure to find out rate, like colour changes, pH/acidity... does any of these apply to these reaction types/ how would you carry out these measurements?
And just out of curiosity, do these types of reactions have a equilibrium position that's mostly to the right? I know they'd probably reach completion in an open system, but when you have a closed one where you don't have gas being removed, they frequently have large K values, right?
