mickey reacts magnesium with 1.0 M of hydrochloric acid. the reaction tales 2 minutes and 34 seconds to complete. what are 2 ways he could slow down the reaction?

To slow down this reaction, we can use any of the methods listed below:

Increase the size of the magnesium by using solid lumps of the metal. This will take a much faster time to react than powered and granulated magnesium. Reduce the concentration of the acid. Let the reaction take place at a much lower temperature than that given.

These conditions will slow down a chemical reaction.
