To determine the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction, one could perform a similar experiment to the one done when finding the effect of surface area on rate of reaction.
Two test tubes with a set amount of calcium carbonate powder could be set up. The temperature could be increased to around 30°C on one of them and the rates at which carbon dioxide is produced could be compared.

Results
- Although the same amount of gas would be produced, at a higher temperature more is produced in a shorter amount of time
- The rate of reaction is greater at a higher temperature
