Answer the following questions about an experiment in which $\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}(s)$ is combined with HCl(a q), represented by the following balanced equation.

\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}(s)+2 \mathrm{HCl}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{CaCl}_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)

Write the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction.

A student performs an investigation to study factors that affect the rate of the reaction. In each trial the student combines 50.0 mL of HCl(a q) at 21.2°C with 1.00 g of $\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}(s)$ and measures the time required for the reaction to go to completion. The data are given in the following table.
