Because there is less friction on the marble floor.
They should identify the confounding variable.
Some condition that is not examined by the scientist might alter the experiment result. That condition is called confounding variable. If the method of the experiment same but result is very different, there should be unidentified confounding variable. It could be air humidity, temperature, ventilation, light, time of the year or anything that might not be seen by naked eye.
Try to redo the experiment with controlling variable as much as possible.
I’d say most likely air, oxygen, or carbon dioxide
∆H for given reaction -847kJ
- As it's negative reaction is exothermic
So
2 mol of Al releases 847KJ heat
4 mol Al releases
∆H=-1694KJ
