An excess of aluminium is allowed to react with dilute hydrochloric acid. $2\text{Al} + 6\text{HCl} \rightarrow 3\text{H}_2 + 2\text{AlCl}_3$ The hydrogen produced is gathered in a gas syringe. The overall volume of hydrogen in the gas syringe is measured at two-minute intervals. The outcomes of this experiment are shown. Which statement is correct?
- AThe mass of aluminium added is $0.107\ \text{g}$.
- BThe mass of aluminium added cannot be determined from the information given.
- CThe highest rate of reaction is $71.5\ \text{cm}^3\ \text{min}^{-1}$.
- DThe highest rate of reaction is when the acid concentration is highest.
