1. 50cm3 of 0.1 mol dm-3 of nitric acid was added into a conical flask containing 5.0g of excess marble chips. The total volume gas collected was recorded at 30 seconds intervals. The experiment was repeated with the same nitric acid but 5.0g of excess marble in powder form. The result of the experiment was recorded below: Time/s 0 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 Experiment 1 0.0 18.0 26.0 34.0 41.0 48.0 53.0 56.0 58.0 58.0 58.0 (volume/cm3) Experiment 2 0.0 21.0 31.0 41.0 49.0 56.0 58.0 58.0 58.0 58.0 58.0 (volume/cm3)

(4 marks) ii) From the graph, determine the average rate of reaction in the first 90s of the liberation of carbon dioxide for experiment 1 and experiment II. (4 marks) c) Explain why the volume of gas collected for both experiments are the same. (1 mark) d) Give reason why the experimental volume of gas collected is lower than the theoretical value. (1 mark) e) What step can be taken to get the volume of gas collected the same as the theoretical value? (1 mark) f) Draw suitable apparatus set-up for the experiment above. (3marks) 2. Diagram below shows two experiments to investigate one factor that affects the rate of reaction.

a. What is the factor that affects the rate of reaction in both experiments? (1mark) b. i. Write the chemical equation for the reaction in the experiment. (1mark) ii. among the products stated in (b) (i), which is most suitable to be chosen to measure the rate of reaction? (1 mark) c. State the following variables in both experiments i. Manipulated variable ii. Controlled variable

iii. Responding variable (3 marks) d. The results for both experiments are represented by the graph in diagram below.

Base on the graph, i. Which experiment has higher initial rate of reaction? How does the graph show this? (2marks) ii. What can we conclude about the quantity of reactant at time y? (1 mark) e. Experiment I is repeated using excess zinc powder and the same volume of sulphuric acid with higher concentration? (2 marks)
