Consider the following reaction: Solid zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and aqueous zinc chloride. \[ \mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s})+2 \mathrm{HCl}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnCl}_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \] a. Identify 3 ways you could increase the rate of this reaction. Make sure to be specific to the reaction. [3C] b. Briefly explain the theory behind ONE of the three and how it increases the rate of reaction using the collision theory. [2 C]
