What is the effect of heating up a solution with Zinc and Hydrochloric Acid that is reacting?

Or what is the effect of heating up a solution that is currently creating a gas? Would the process speed up?

Would this not accelerate the rate of reaction and evolution of gas....?

Explanation:

And accelerated rate of reaction upon heating is commonplace, in that a greater proportionation of reactant molecules/particles have the requisite activation energy.

Here we gots...#Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) rarrZnCl_2(aq) + H_2(g) uarr#

What do you think would be the effect of using zinc powder as opposed to chunky zinc granules. How would the rate of reaction evolve?
