The gradient is steepest at the beginning, showing this is where the reaction
is fastest. The concentration of reactants is highest at the beginning, so
the collision frequency is highest. The gradient decreases as the reaction
goes to completion, showing the reaction rate decreasing. There is a lower
concentration of reactants, so a lower collision frequency. The graph plateaus
(horizontal) showing the reaction has finished. The acid is in excess, so all of
the magnesium has been used.
4b) The initial rate is approx 1.3cm3 s−1
4c) The average rate is 0.62cm3 s−1

At the higher temperature, there are more particles with energy greater than
the activation energy. Therefore there is a greater chance that a collision will
result in a reaction, resulting in more successful collisions per unit time.
