Predicting Reaction Rates

The apparatus opposite was used to study the effect of different factors
on the rate of the reaction between indigestion tablets and acid

1. The effect of changing concentration (1)
The number of bubbles produced in 30 seconds were
recorded
The temperature was varied by heating the acid to different
temperature before the experiment
The results are shown in the sketch graph below


2. The effect of changing surface area
The number of bubbles produced in 30 seconds were recorded as before
The experiment was repeated using different concentrations of acid each time
The results are shown in the sketch graph below

3. The effect of temperature(1)
The time taken to collect 50 bubbles was recorded.
The indigestion tablet was broken into a different number of pieces each time
The results are shown in the sketch graph below

The experiment was carried out with acid with a 1M
concentration. Add a line to the diagram showing how you
would expect the results to change if the experiment was
repeated with 0.5M acid

How would you explain your choice of line?

The experiment was carried out with a whole indigestion tablet.
Add a line to the diagram showing how you would expect the
results to change if the experiment was repeated with a tablet
broken into four pieces.

The apparatus opposite was used to study the reaction between
marble chips and acid

4. The effect of changing temperature (2)
The volume of gas produced was recorded every ten
seconds for two minutes
The results are shown in the sketch graph below






5. The effect of changing concentration (2)
The volume of gas produced in 2 minutes was recorded
The experiment was repeated several times, changing the mass of marble chips each time.

The experiment was carried out at 20C. Add a line to the
diagram showing how you would expect the results to change if
the experiment was repeated at 40C.

(HINT: why does the graph flatten out?)

The experiment with acid of concentration 0.5M . Add a line to
the diagram showing how you would expect the results to
change if the experiment was repeated using 1.0M acid.
