A student adds 1.0 g of magnesium ribbon to 50 cm350\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}50cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid. The acid is in excess. The student measures the volume of hydrogen made.
Which change would make the initial rate greater and increase the total volume of hydrogen made?
Using 50 cm350\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}50cm3 of more concentrated hydrochloric acid
Using 1.0 g of magnesium powder instead of ribbon
Using 2.0 g of the same magnesium ribbon
Warming the acid to a higher temperature
