Explain what would happen to the rate of reaction if we reacted a strip of magnesium with hydrochloric acid instead of powder magnesium?

50 cm3 of 1M hydrochloric acid is a six-fold excess of acid. In this reaction, the magnesium and acid are gradually used up. However the acid is in excess, so it is mainly the loss of magnesium (surface area becomes smaller) that causes the change in the rate.

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
