When carbon dioxide gas dissolves in water, it reacts with the water to form carbonic acid. This is why soft drinks have a low $pH,$ and soda water is often

recommended as a mild cleaning agent. It is also why there is concern that rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide may cause the Earth's oceans to become

more acidic. Here is the reaction between carbon dioxide gas and water:

$H_{2}O(l)+C{O}_2(g)H_{2}C{O}_3(aq)$

Suppose an engineer decides to study the rate of this reaction. He prepares four reaction vessels with $133\mathrm{.}7g$ of water and $12\mathrm{.}3g$ of carbon dioxide gas each.

The volume and temperature of each vessel is shown in the table below.

Arrange the reaction vessels in decreasing order of initial rate of reaction. In other words, select a $"1"$ next to the vessel in which the engineer can reasonably

expect the initial rate of reaction to be highest, a $"2"$ next to the vessel in which the initial rate of reaction would be next highest, and so on$.$
