When carrying out an experiment measuring the time taken for diffusion of HCl to occur through an agar block (made of agar, NaOH and cresol red indicator) - What trend are we hoping to see if I use different concentrations of acid : 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 0.8 and 1.0 M

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate your advice.
The blocks of agar are all the same size/ volume. They will be made with 0.01M NaOH. The hydrochloric acid will be a range of concentrations up to 1.0 M. the blocks will be put into the diff concentrations and time taken for colour change in each concentration will be recorded. I'm just wondering what the trend will be - higher concentration acid, least time? Or lower concept least time?
Also, how could this idea relate to something in real life?
Thanks

I have to prepare an observed lesson on IB Biology topic 4.1 (species, communities and ecosystems) and I've never taught this before! Any suggestions? Thanks!
I need and would greatly appreciate your help! As a former secondary teacher, I always struggled to implement literacy instruction into my classroom. Now I’m a doctoral candidate at George Mason University and want to use my dissertation to capture how practicing teachers feel about literacy instruction.
If you could please take 20-30 minutes out of your day to take the following survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KL6ZJFN it would be greatly appreciated. No identifying information will be obtained and your responses will be completely anonymous.
The more teachers participate in the survey, the greater the impact of the research; so if you can forward this message on to any other secondary content area teachers you know it would be tremendously helpful.
Additionally, after completing the survey you will have the option to provide your email address to be entered into a drawing to win one of four $50 Target gift cards.
Thank you so very much for your time and professional courtesy. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at eramire4@gmu.edu.
