... it into the cup I will take the starting temperature of CuSO4. I will write that down on a table already made. Then I will put the zinc into the cup, close the lid and start the timer. I will mix the solution by shaking the cup to increase the surface area. If I increase the surface area the rate of reaction increases because there is more chance the particles will react, as there is more surface area. This will speed up the experiment.
