Figure 2 Two samples of Mg(s) of equal mass were placed in equal amounts of HCI(aq) contained in two separate reaction vessels. Particle representations of the mixing of Mg(s) and HCI(aq) in the two reaction vessels are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 above. Water molecules are not included in the particle representations. Which of the reactions will initially proceed faster, and why? The reaction in Figure 1, because the atoms of Mg are more concentrated than those in Figure 2 The reaction in Figure 1, because the Mg(s) in Figure 1 has a larger mass than the Mg(s) in Figure 2 The reaction in Figure 2, because more Mg atoms are exposed to HCI(aq) in Figure 2 than in Figure 1 The reaction in Figure 2, because the Mg(s) in Figure 2 has less surface area than the Mg(s) in Figure 1
