For experiment 6 (powdered chips) I was surprised to see that the rate of reaction was lower than experiment 1 (in a certain amount of time, less mass had been lost), but also less mass was being lost generally compared to experiment 1, which is strange, because the same mass of chips and volume of acid were being used.
This is contrary to what I would have expected, because a greater surface area would mean more collisions => more successful collisions.
Can anyone explain this result?
Thanks.

could it be because of the time intervals at which measurement were taken and therefore the reaction slowed inbetween?
