c. Step 13: You added 85 drops of HCl to the 40 drops of water in test tube #2 before testing with Zn.

1. Consider the possible sources of error listed and briefly describe the effect of each on the observed rate of reaction (high, low, unaffected), and explain. (a.) Step 1: The zinc was washed one minute with dilute acetic acid instead of with sulfuric acid. Being that acetic acid is a weak alid, when linc is treated with dilute acetic acid inttead of solforic acid the rate of the reaction will become slow der to acetic acid is unable to be dissociated fust in water. Thus, the rate of reaction will bucome low. b. Step-10: You used the acids left over in Step 6 to test the metals in Step 10 . (c.) Step 13: You added 85 drops of HCl to the 40 drops of water in test tube \#2 before testing with 1.
