here is an attached photo with a detailed explanation, good luck!
there's no question on here
In is a lot easier because it uses 10s.
Answer: (2) decreasing the concentration of HCl(aq) to 0.1 M
Explanation: Rate of a reaction depends on following factors:
1. Size of the solute particles: If the reactant molecules are present in smaller size, surface of particles and decreasing the size increases the surface area of the solute particles. Hence, increasing the rate of a reaction.
2. Reactant concentration: The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants.
3. Temperature: Increasing the temperature increases the energy of the molecules and thus more molecules can react to give products and rate increases.
(1) Increasing the initial temperature to 25°C will increase the reaction rate.
(2) Decreasing the concentration of HCl(aq) to 0.1 M will decrease the reaction rate due to lesser concentration.
(3) Using 1.2 g of powdered Mg will increase the reaction rate due to large surface area.
(4) Using 2.4 g of Mg ribbon will increase the reaction rate due to high concentration of reactants.
