Figure 1

Cellophane tape

Material X

Figure 1.1
The experiment was carried out according to the following steps:
Step 1: A steel ball bearing is taped onto the material X block.
Step 2: A 1 kg weight is hung at a height of 50 cm above the material X block as shown
in Figure 1.1
Step 3: The weight is allowed to drop onto the ball bearing.
Step 4: The diameter of the dent made on the material X block was measured.
Step 5: Step 1 to 4 are repeated on two other parts of the material X block in order to
obtain an average value for the diameter of dents formed.
Step 6: Step 1 to 5 are repeated by replacing the material X block with material Y
block.

2. Diagram 2.1 shows two methods of dissolving sugar cubes to make sugar solution.

Hot water

For
Examiner
s Use

Cold water

Sugar cubes

Diagram 2.1
A group of students discovered that it is faster to dissolve the sugar cubes to
make sugar solution by using hot water rather than cold water. This is due to the
difference in the temperature of the water.
Referring to the situation above, plan a laboratory experiment to investigate the
effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between sulphuric acid and sodium
thiosulphate solution .
Your planning should include the following aspects.
a)
b)
