Solution

Calcium carbonate present in the marble chips react slowly with hydrochloric acid at room temperature and evolves carbon dioxide at a slower rate. But on heating the mixture, evolution of carbon dioxide is faster.

This shows that increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction.
