NEED HELP!
When potassium metal is placed in water, a large amount of energy is released as potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced in the reaction 2K(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H2(g). Your lab partner says this is a redox reaction and a combustion reaction. Do you agree? Defend your answer by explaining whether or not it meets the requirements of each type of reaction.
Part 1
A student carried out an investigation to observe the effect of changing
concentration of sulfuric acid on the breakdown of calcium carbonate
(marble) chips. They changed the concentration of the acid between
each test but kept the size of the marble chips constant. The full equation
for the reaction and a graph of the overall results can be seen below.
CaCO3(s) + H₂SO4(aq) → CaSO4(aq) + CO2(g) + H₂O (1)

Concentration of Acid (mol dm³)
Explain, using collision theory, why the student obtained
these results, and state what they could conclude about the
effect of changing concentration of acid on the rate of reaction
between calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid.
If the student had ground up the calcium carbonate chips into
a powder and run the tests again, what would you expect to
happen to the rate of reaction? Briefly explain why by
applying collision theory.
Part 2
The student ran the same experiment, but this time changed the
temperature, increasing it…
