A student puts 10 cm³ of 0.100 mol dm⁻³ sulfuric acid into one test-tube and 10 cm³ of 0.100 mol dm⁻³ ethanoic acid into another test-tube. He then adds 1.0 g (an excess) of magnesium ribbon to each test-tube and takes suitable measurements. Both acids have the same starting temperature. Neither reaction is complete after 2 minutes, but both are complete after 20 minutes. Which statements are correct? 1 After 2 minutes, the sulfuric acid is at a higher temperature than the ethanoic acid. 2 After 2 minutes, the sulfuric acid has produced more gas than the ethanoic acid. 3 After 20 minutes, the sulfuric acid has produced more gas than the ethanoic acid.
✓ Correct answer
A: 1, 2 and 3 are correct
