A student added equal masses of three metals separately to equal volumes of the same dilute hydrochloric acid. The student measured the volume of gas produced in the first 60 seconds.
| Metal | Volume of gas in 60 seconds (cm³) |
|---|---|
| Magnesium | 42 |
| Zinc | 18 |
| Iron | 7 |
The student then adds the same mass of copper to the same volume of the acid.
Predict the volume of gas produced by the copper in the first 60 seconds. Explain your prediction, using the results in the table.
