Final answer:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium carbonate with nitric acid is provided, along with two ways to increase the rate of hydrogen gas production are explained.


Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction: MgCO3(s) + 2HNO3(aq) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Two ways to increase the rate of H2(g) production:

  1. Using powdered magnesium instead of lumps to increase surface area.
  2. Increasing the concentration of the acid used.
