Chunks of limestone react with dilute hydrochloric acid as represented by the equation below. $\text{CaCO}_3 + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{CaCl}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2$. Which alteration in the conditions would decrease the rate of reaction?
- Aincrease the concentration of the acid
- Bincrease the volume of the acid
- Cincrease the size of the lumps of limestone
- Dincrease the temperature
