I wonder what would happen if you got a small polyethylene (Nalgene)
bottle, poked holes in it, filled it with marble chips or crushed coral,
and dropped it into a larger container with a dilute hydrochloric acid
solution? The number and size of the holes along with the strength of
the solution would dictate the rate of the reaction. I would wear some
good lab gloves when working with the setup though.
