Zinc metal dissolves in hydrochloric acid according to the reaction

Suppose you are asked to study the kinetics of this reaction by monitoring the rate of production of (a) By using a reaction flask, a manometer, and any other common laboratory equipment, design an experimental apparatus that would allow you to monitor the partial pressure of H2(g) produced as a function of time. (b) Explain how you would use the apparatus to deter-mine the rate law of the reaction. (c) Explain how you would use the apparatus to determine the reaction order for [H+] for the reaction. (d) How could you use the apparatus to determine the activation energy of the reaction? (e) Explain how you would use the apparatus to determine the effects of changing the form of Zn(s) from metal strips to granules.
