Magnesium reacting with acid investigation

I am currently doing my a level investigation project. Can you help? 2 aims: How does agitation effect the activation energy of the reaction between magnesium and 2M hydrochloric acid? Does the order of reaction change with monobasic and dibasic acids? (HCl and H2SO4 with magnesium)

Please help,
