The beakers on the left and right both contain the same amount of HCL (liquid) and the same mass of calcium carbonate (solid). In which beaker will the reaction rate be the greatest?



A) The reaction rate will be highest in beaker 1 because there is a larger surface area of calcium carbonate.

B) The reaction rate will be highest in beaker 2 because there is a larger surface area of calcium carbonate.

C) The reaction rate will be highest in beaker 1 because there is a smaller surface area of calcium carbonate.

D) The reaction rate will be highest in beaker 2 because there is a smaller surface area of calcium carbonate

The beakers on the left and right both contain the same amount of HCL liquid and the same mass of calcium carbonate solid In which beaker will the reaction rate class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Smaller pieces results in a larger surface area, therefore the answer is beaker B.
