1g Past Exam Q and Answer

The document describes a student experiment investigating the rate of reaction between marble and hydrochloric acid. [1] The student measured the mass of the flask and contents over ten minutes as the reaction occurred. [2] The results were plotted on a graph, which showed that the rate of reaction was initially quick but slowed down over time. [3] The mass decreased because carbon dioxide gas was produced and escaped from the flask.

How Fast Past Exam Question

Q1. A student investigated the rate of reaction between marble and hydrochloric acid.

The student used an excess of marble.

The reaction can be represented by this equation:

CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

The student used the apparatus shown in the diagram.

The student measured the mass of the flask and contents for ten minutes.

The results are shown on the graph. Use the graph to answer the questions.

(a) (i) Complete the graph by drawing a line of best fit.


(1)

(ii) Use the graph to find the mass of the flask and contents after 1.8 minutes.

................................. grams
(1)

(iii) The rate of reaction can be measured by the steepness of the graph line.

Describe, as fully as you can, how the rate of reaction changes with time in this
experiment.

(b) The mass of the flask and contents decreased during the experiment.

Use the equation for this reaction to help you explain why.

(c) A balance is used to measure the mass of the apparatus.

(i) Which balance, A, B, or C, has the highest resolution?

Balance A Balance B Balance C

The balance with the highest resolution is balance


(1)

(ii) The balance used for this experiment should have a high resolution.

Explain why.

M1. (a) (i) curve missing anomalous point


1

(ii) answer in the range of 100.35 to 100.5


1

(iii) reaction goes quickly at first


accept reaction slows down
1

reaction stops
1

(b) because carbon dioxide is produced


accept gas is produced
1

carbon dioxide / gas escapes, therefore the mass of the


flask and contents decreases
1

(c) (i) balance B


1

(ii) because during the experiment a gas / carbon


dioxide escapes from the flask
1

therefore the balance needs a high resolution to


measure the small changes in the mass
1

(d) the (marble) powder has a larger surface area than the
(marble) chips
1

therefore there would be more collisions with the acid particles


(within the same amount of time)
