Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To slow down this reaction, we can use any of the methods listed below:

  • Increase the size of the magnesium by using solid lumps of the metal. This will take a much faster time to react than powered and granulated magnesium.
  • Reduce the concentration of the acid.
  • Let the reaction take place at a much lower temperature than that given.

These conditions will slow down a chemical reaction.
