    The document describes observations about ink and paper. It then asks questions about explanations and reactions involving these materials: 1) A drop of ink spreads through water due to particles of ink molecule colliding with water molecules and dispersing. 2) Iron(II) ions in ink can be tested for with a reaction turning a blue color. These ions oxidize to iron(III) ions when ink is used on paper. 3) A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction.

    3 (a) A drop of black ink is placed at the bottom of a beaker of water.

    (5070/22/O/N/20/Q3)

    After a time, the colour of the ink spreads throughout the water.

    Explain this observation in terms of the kinetic particle theory.

    (ii) The ink darkens when used on paper. This is because iron(II) ions are oxidised to
    iron(III) ions.

    Write the ionic equation for this reaction.

    (iii) After a time, the ink fades because of a hydrolysis reaction which is catalysed by acids.

    State how a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction.
