In the reaction between an acid and a metal, the rate of reaction decreases as the reaction proceeds.
A student suggests three reasons why the rate of this reaction decreases.

3 The surface area of the metal increases as it gets smaller.
Which reasons are correct?
1, 2 and 3
1 and 2 only
1 only
3 only
