Past Paper-Topic 7 Rate and Equilibrium - Answer
1
4. (Nov. 2005, P6, Q4)
Table of results:
volumes of gas correctly completed (21, 24, 39, 47 and 56)
- 1 for each incorrect [3]
(a) points correctly plotted in graph (3), - 1 for each incorrect
straight line (1) [4]
(b) experiment 2 (1)
not on line (1) [2]
(c) (i) experiment 5 (1)
(ii) strongest/more concentrated acid (1)
more collisions (1) [3]
(d) marble chip visible (1)
acid used up (1) [2]
(e) (i) e.g. size of chips different/starting the timer [1]
(ii) measure mass of chips/time individual experiments [1]
2
(May/June 2004, P3, Q3)
8. (a) dissolved or solution in water (1)
NOT aqueous NOT soluble in water
l liquid and g gas (1) (1)
(b) 6 electrons in bond between two nitrogen atoms (1)
2 electrons on each nitrogen (1)
(c) (i) decreases or reaction stops or rate becomes zero [1]
(ii) concentration (1)
number of effective/successful collisions decreases (1)
used up or less chemical or less collisions etc [1] only
(iii) greater initial slope (1)
same final point (1)
(iv) greater surface area [1] TOTAL = [10]
3
method will not work = 0

2 (Nov. 2005, P3, Q7)
(a) from methane [1]
and steam [1]
OR alkane [1]
cracking [1] [2]
More heat energy is given out when new bonds form than
energy taken in to break bonds [1]
–2328 + 945 + 1308 = –75(kJ) [1]
OR low pressure
left side has higher volume of gases or more moles of gas
(ii) electrolysis [1]
6
high pressure favours the side with few molecules to reduce the pressure [1]
(b) (i) 2CH3OH + 3O2 = 2CO2 + 4H2O
CO2 and H2O [1]
balanced [1]
(ii) methyl ethanoate [1]
water [1]
(iii) Methanoic (acid) [1]
