Equal volumes of 1M monobasic acids K and L were each reacted with excess zinc granules.
The table below shows the volumes of the gas produced after two minutes

(a) Explain the difference in the volumes of the gas produced
(b) How can the production of the gas be increased?

---

(a) L is more ionized than K hence reacts faster producing higher volume of a gas. Or L is a stronger acid therefore ionized faster than K a weaker acid

(b) Increasing the temperature using zinc powder/increasing the concentration of acid.
