Particle size of zinc powder in set II is smaller than that of granulated zinc in set I.
Thus, the total exposed surface area of 1.0 g of zinc powder in set II
is larger than that of 1.0 g of granulated zinc in set I.
As a result, the frequency of collision between the hydrogen ions from sulphuric
acid and the zinc atoms at the surface of zinc powder in set II is higher than that
occurring at the surface of granulated zinc in set I.
This causes the frequency of effective collision between hydrogen ions and zinc
atoms in set II to be higher than that in set I.
Hence, the initial rate of liberation of hydrogen gas in set II is higher than that in
set
