The graph shows the volumes of carbon dioxide given off when marble chips are reacted with hydrochloric acid in five different experiments.
Curve A shows the volume of carbon dioxide given off when some marble chips are reacted with an excess of 1.0 mol/dm3 hydrochloric acid.
Explain which curve, B, C, D or E, could represent the results obtained if half the mass of marble chips is used with excess of the acid.
